[MLO] Re: Updated to version 5, a few questions
I found answer to both of my questions, so I thought I would post back. 1. The checkmarks were icons in the tabs. To change or remove an icon, you just right click the tab and go to "Assign icon". For some reason when I updated, all the tab icons had changed checkmarks. 2. To change back to v4.4.8, I just had to save my mlo file in a "v4" file type. So I'm back on v4 for now. I may try v5 again later.

[MLO] Re: Program blocking problems
Hello Vincenzo, Thank you for raising your concerns in the matter. We have received similar complaints from other users and now we're trying to collect as much useful information as possible in this regard. We hope for your cooperation in the matter. There are a few questions that we hope will help us to sort it out: - if you create a new blank .ml file, will the app lock up? - will the app lock up if you reinstall the app, create a new test file without an activation key. What happens after you enter the activation key? - if you leave the locked up app for 15 minutes approximately will an error show up? Please send us a screenshot - if you turn off your antivirus software does the issue occur? - please send us the logs: MLO- >Tools- >Options- >Troubleshooting- >Export Logs- >Send a received archive to MLO support (supp...@mylifeorganized.net) Thank you!

[MLO] Program blocking problems
Hello, my name is Vincenzo and I write from Italy. I have recently updated my PRO version of the MLO to version 5. Immediately after the installation I encountered the following problem: after a few seconds the opening of the program, the application stops responding to any command of the keyboard or mouse and I am forced to close it with the windows task manager. I specify that I use your program on a desktop PC Hp with Intel 5, 16 GB of RAM and Windows 7 pro. Before the upgrade to version 5, the MLO worked perfectly. I am waiting for a solution to the problem. Best regards Vincenzo -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.

[MLO] Re: Is anyone using Google calendar sync for Timeblocking?
I’ve been using SchedPal for a few weeks now - or trying to. DIslikes: maybe it’s not my app choice, maybe it’s just me - I still find myself overshooting the time slot deadlines and rescheduling tasks on a regular basis. LIkes: It does a really good job of quantifying and giving a reality check of what you can do in a day. You have all your work tasks, you press the “schedule” button, and then you see that not everything fits within the time available, deadlines and due dates that you have. So you prioritise, or set expectations. That takes a lot of cognitive load off me. However - due to my human nature of pushing stuff back and pressing the ‘reschedule’ button, I was pondering on the difference between this, and the manual scheduling nature of MLO with Gcal. I think I still like the SkedPal approach because it does do the organising for me - and time spent in the tool doing task organisation is a major issue (or lack of time, which then means the tool becomes disorganised and you then lose trust in it). It means I can trust the system - press the button, hit reschedule, if it flags up anything that doesn’t fit, then I can drag stuff into my evening , push back some due dates - and not worry about going through everything again to check that it still all makes sense. On the downside, as you say, it doesn’t prioritise dependencies before the dependant task, and it also shows both tasks and sub tasks. So in a large volume of tasks, that’s going to be a major stumbling book. OTOH, I do keep coming back to GTD and next task in context in MLO. It is so quick to use. It’s great on ‘next task’ action, it’s just frustratin that it offers no ability to check everything fits in he schedule.

[MLO] Re: How to handle my roadblocks on MLO
Hi Regarding your first question. Here is a simple trick which i use. All tasks which have to be done today/tomorrow/asap are marked with STAR. Then in the starred view, i can rearange them.The tasks which require my imediate attention i put to the top of the list. When a new urgent task appears, i just add it in the starred view directly to the top of the list. (to do that: go to the starred view, select a task which is at the top of the list, tap + button, enter the task name. save. your new task will have the second position from top. just move it to become first. that's all). br Andrew Issues with short-term handling: As new urgent tasks come in, I don’t > trust MLO to help me fit them into my day.

[MLO] Re: Enter tasks using google assistant
I found an solution which works fairly well. Within IFTTT, you can use the applet "Google Home Create wunderlist item" It allows you to create a text phrase that will send an email to wherever you'd like. I use MLO cloud so I send the tasks to privateem...@sync.mylifeorganized.net. "ok google, add buy Delorean to inbox" Response: Added buy Delorean to Wunderlist. In a few minutes, and a cloud sync, it shows up in my MLO inbox. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.

[MLO] Enter tasks using google assistant
This topic has been asked a few times but I couldn't find a current solution. I would like to ask my google device to enter a task destined to my MLO inbox. On my android 9 phone, the MLO widget works well but I'd like something I could use hands free. Any suggestions? I am pondering the use of IFTTT to create an applet to send my task to my mlo email address but I have not programmed anything in a very long time.

[MLO] How to handle my roadblocks on MLO
I love MLO, and keep coming back to it, whatever else I try, but wonder if anyone has any tips on how to address my remaining process issues. As a quick background, I only use the iPhone app as I moved from Windows to MacOS. Most of my time is spent throwing tasks into the inbox from email triage via the email parser, or via the pop-out Add to Inbox button. Issues with short-term handling: As new urgent tasks come in, I don’t trust MLO to help me fit them into my day. I think this is because if I quickly add them to my inbox, i may not review and file tasks in my inbox on a busy day until well after the task was due. Also, if I DO file it, I again am almost certain it’ll disappear into a big backlog of overdue forgotten tasks, and again, I won’t complete it in time. So how can I keep ‘new, current tasks’ in view and still trust in GTD? Issues with high-level view: I can’t really get a sense of the overall progress and forecast effort of a project, or all my projects. Yes, I know there’s a project type, and a progress bar, but that’s just for one project. I’d really like to be able to look top-down at my work/life/personal development/admin folders and see for my projects for the week/month/year, where I am and where I have to go. I do also appreciate there are Goals, and I do use them and find them effective, but only at a tactical level, not at a high-level planning/accomplishment view. No month-by-month goals: I do use goals, but it’s notable that the “month” goal is only for the current month. I would love a way to view the monthly goals for the previous and upcoming months - both for planning, and for tracking/achievement. I’ve thought about using a mind map view with a parent node per month in something like MindMeister/Meisertask, or Asana/Trello Kanban boards, one per month. It’s like having 13 of the 43 folders - one per month. As before, MLO is very tactically focused, and doesn’t have a top-down view. Planned vs due date: I’m currently using SkedPal, and it does have a “plan for today/tomorrow/etc” setting AS WELL AS due date. Many task managers do, these days. So how do people do this in MLO? Clunky date setting: I find that I can’t really use due dates proactively, such as setting which day I will do the task on in order to use the calendar view in the iPhone app for ‘loading’ each day, because it’s relatively slow and clunky to set due dates (compared to many apps having a “defer until tomorrow/next week/etc) quick button. I therefore find that if I did try setting due dates for, say, 20 tasks, and the times start to blow out, I now have to spend time going through each one of 20 tasks and manually try to move the date back to a realistic timeframe, for every one of those tasks. Granted, it is easier to do this visually with the Gcal sync, using the calendar to drag and drop - MUCH easier, in fact - but it’s still an effort that’s increases with however many tasks you have dates for, in each daily review.
