Looks interesting. And I notice that Steve Pavlina prefers it to GTD. http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2010/03/master-your-workday-now/ But 343 pages... *Really*? Although I seriously question the need for so many pages [exasperated sigh] but have bought a cheap second hand copy!

[MLO] Re: How can I paste text in UPPERCASE ?

Yes changing font to an uppercase-only does work ! However it turns out to be too clunky in practice and I don't ALWAYS want to have upper case. :( Another way, create a view and filter tasks by project. Then one by one, change their string to uppercase. Do you mean type them all in again

Er I think I have the same problem. So, suppose I am my All Active Tasks view and I add a new task called say Test01. And then I hit Alt/S that takes me to the start date for Test01 I then hit say 3D then Enter, this puts the task 3 days into the future and therefore OFF my Active Tasks view!
