[MLO] MLO Contexts filter to only show contexts with tagged items

[alex.bsc]

In Windows MLO (but also for others), where the Contexts Filter is shown, 
instead of listing all the contexts, together with the number of items in 
brackets, e.g.

@Work (3)
@Home (1)
@Shops
@Park

only show the contexts that are actually tagged, i.e. only

@Work (3)
@Home (1)

omitting entirely

@Shops
@Park

WOW, nice, that didn't occur to me.
It really works that ways it seems, perfect!
Thanks Michael!

[MLO] Use Models for OK Google and Calendar Integration?

[Lisa S]

[ TLDR I'm looking to hear about your use model (flow of information/how 
you use it) for using MLO and Google (e.g. controlling tasks by voice and 
Calendar integration) together. ]

Hi everyone, long time no seesorry I dropped off the grid for several 
years :) We're doing alright, still lots of health issues in the family, 
but doing fine. I haven't been using very many features of MLO for a while 
(mainly the Starred Active Tasks on Android as well as dropping in tasks 
for things I'd like to get to sometime), but I have been starting to dust 
off my extensive MLO task database and get it up to date with my life, and 
bought 10 years of cloud sync to support the team in Ukraine.

I'm not sure I even know what I'm asking, because I'm in that "I don't know 
what I don't know" stage. I have quite a few appointments scattered through 
the week, but many hours of my day are unscheduled/interrupt driven and due 
to low energy levels which vary, scheduling a task to force myself to get 
it done has never appealed to me. 

 I use Google Calendar for tracking my time commitments, Google Home and 
Android devices with MLO as well as Desktop MLO, and Google reminders just 
because they are convenient (which I don't like at all and what to move 
away from).  I've played with the Google Calendar integration some but what 
I am missing is a consistent use model (and brain power is not what it used 
to be right now!)

What have you found works well and doesn't work so well? I've set up the 
Calendar integration and having the reminder through the Calendar is 
helpful (my desktop doesn't always have MLO open though maybe I should 
change that),  but maybe I need to also go the route of voice adding tasks 
through IFFT (which I played with long ago but not recently).

Thanks,

Lisa

RE: [MLO] [IDEA] REMINDERS > Overdue reminders

['Michael Emerald, CFA' via MyLifeOrganized]

I “think” you can?

 

I believe that the way reminders work is this: if you set the reminder manually 
to be 3 days after the due date, the reminder will always be 3 days after the 
due date, even if it recurs.

 

You may be saying something else; e.g., that there should be a default reminder 
that you can set to remind you when any task is 3 days overdue.  

 

Take Care,

I would like to have reminders based on the overdue time of a given task.

I.e. - I would set a reminder, that reminds me when a given task is 3 days 
overdue.

Re: [MLO] [REQUEST] CONTEXTS > SHOW IN > New setting - Show in props line

[Radek Pilich]

The problem is simple:
- lets say I have 30 contexts
- lets say typical task has more than 5 contexts

In this scenario, showing contexts in the props line is pretty useless, 
because it's too much information.

However If I could define, what contexts show up in the props line, only 1 
or 2 out of 5+ contexts of a given task would show up in the props line.

That would make the props line useful.

Right now, as too many contexts are shown in the props line, I have to turn 
off the display of contexts in the props line.

I hope it's clearer now.
