I am now with MLO since about 3 years. During that time I optimized my
system round about 1 million times, improving a lot of individual aspects,
tried projects, contexts, flag, sorting/grouping in every means possible...
I learned a lot during the last years but still struggling sometimes
What I'd love to see would perhaps be a bunch of screencasts from several
seasoned MLO users describing how they manage their tasks. Of course that

So I just created a new MLO data file, input 20 tasks in the RTE box and
didn't assign any contexts or anything. I created 2 folders, moved one task
into each folder and then clicked on the To-Do tab and changed the view
to Next Actions by Project. Strangely, I see 3 tasks listed, even though
Hi, Chris. First, let me acknowledge that I am not a user of Next Actions
