[MLO] MLO 6

[pottster]

Hi Andrey and Team. Delighted to have just purchased an upgrade to MLO 6 
and support you in some small way. You guys are an inspiration in a 
troubled world. I hope you stay safe and continue to develop a product 
which has been Organizing MyLife since 2010.

By the way, in 2015, I asked for sounds on task completion. Glad you got 
around to it eventually! 

[MLO] Re: Where it the additional MLO Software for reminders in windows ?

Hi Thomas,

I think you mean OneAlert.

You can still download it 
here 
https://web.archive.org/web/20160729212238/http://www.mylifeorganized.net/downloads/files/OneAlert-setup.exe

Still works! 路‍♀️

Re: [MLO] Re: What Do Y'all Use for Notes

[pottster]

Great summary Christoph. I'd add a category of tool for capturing web 
content for research, reference, read later etc - and for this category I 
think Evernote is still a strong frontrunner. I've settled on Obsidian too 
- for note taking where I'm creating, commenting on, or linking, notes. The 
Obsidian graphing  capabilitites are creating a whole new area of 
visualising ideas and thoughts and how they connect. It will be interesting 
to see where it leads.

[MLO] Re: Is there a way to print out the Hot Key list?

[pottster]

The default hot keys are listed in the MLO user guide available from the 
website at https://www.mylifeorganized.net/support.shtml#windows

If you have customized any of the hotkeys the amended list is found within 
the app at Tools/Options/General Applications Options/Hotkeys. This list is 
in a scrolling window so you would need to use a screen capture tool like 
SnagIt or FastStone Capture to capture the full list via autoscroll since 
normal text selection methods don't work.

Good luck!

You can do this with flags but with Contexts the nearest you can get is 
untick "Inherit parent contexts", then Alt+c, and you'll get auto 
suggestions as you type.

[MLO] Re: TextExpander or other text shortcuts?

[pottster]

Hi Mark.

MLO has configurable hotkeys built in for Date and Time 
(Tools>Options>General Application Options>Hotkeys). The notes area 
supports use of any text replacement tool such as TextExpander, 
PhraseExpress or AutoHotkey. You could also link in the notes area to a log 
file e.g. a notepad .log file which automatically adds date and time when 
you open it.

Grizz is right that script will work! Really odd - it didn't work for me

By the way, you only need the first four lines - presume the last the two 
lines were just an editing error.

#IfWinActive ahk_exe mlo.exe

Unfortunately, as I posted before, this script should work but doesn't 
because MLO has a bind on the Ctr+Down combination.

[MLO] Re: a keyboard hotkey I can't assign, please help

[pottster]

Hi Olivier,

Your AutoHotkey isn't quite right but there is a more basic issue here. 
Normally, AutoHotkey would allow you to remap this shortcut but I think 
that Ctrl+Down is hard coded in MLO. It may be possible to change in the 
registry but you'd have to ask support. I suggest you contact support for 
options. Post again if you make progress and need an AutoHotkey script.

Hi Joel,

https://www.autohotkey.com/ is the main site and the site to download the 
program from.

It's been a while since I acquired my learning but I believe YouTube still 
has a number of tutorials which will help.

Good luck.

[MLO] Re: Rapid Task Entry for =tofld for folders with whitespace in the name not working?

[pottster]

Hi Brian,

Not sure whether it's a bug or just the way it's been implemented. In any 
case, my suggestion would be to rename the folder without whitespace if 
parsing is important to you e.g. Work-Misc-Actions.

By the way, enclosing in double quotes in MLO parsing *excludes* the 
contained text from parsing.

[MLO] Re: sort projects by sub-task's modification date?

I use Automatic Formatting to prompt me about forgotten tasks/projects. 
Otherwise, any regular review process should be designed to monitor

[MLO] Re: How can I configure the font in the Search results?

[pottster]

Hi Dan,

I believe the Search dialog uses system level fonts so not configurable 
within MLO. It looks from your screenshot like you might be using Linux. 
Not sure what your options are within Linux for system fonts and I'm 
guessing you're using Wine to run MLO so it may be problematic anyway. One 
option in Windows is to use the built in screen magnifier accessibility 
tool - I'm sure there will be a Linux equivalent. For day to day use though 
this probably wouldn't be practical.

Personally, I maintain a dedicated search tab/view for the whole outline 
and use the Text filter section in the Filter Pane. That way I get results 
in the Outline (using the Outline font). The next desktop version of MLO is 
due for a UI overhaul so, hopefully, we'll see some improvement in this 
area.

Re: [MLO] Chronology in notes

[pottster]

Many thanks for the responses. Interesting to hear your thoughts and really 
helpful for clarifying my own thinking.

For my purposes, I've come to the conclusion that I will use both 
approaches. At least now I've thought about it I can say it's a conscious 
decision.

If I'm keeping a chronological sequence of notes I realise I need to ask 
myself why I'm doing it and that will guide me about which approach to take 
for a particular task. Some examples: -

Tracking status of a finite process - Reverse
Recording an exchange for future use with third party (complaint, 
justifying decisions etc) - Chronological
For future review for performance or improvement - Chronological
Problem solving - Reverse
Research and information gathering - Reverse
Delegated tasks - Reverse

When having a quick Google about the topic I found this 

 thread 
interesting. Loved the Kierkegaard quote - 'Life can only be understood 
backwards; but it must be lived forwards. Sums the dilemma up nicely. One 
idea touched upon was to list Chronologically but also have the very latest 
entry at the top. I might experiment with that if I can automate it via 
AutoHotKey.

I'm sure there is no "right" answer to this one. The Sort 
Ascending/Descending toggle button on so much software is probably there 
for a good reason!

Thanks again.

[MLO] Chronology in notes

[pottster]

Hi,

Just curious.

Like many of you, I'm sure, I keep a dated/timed list of updates in the 
notes area for many of my tasks. For some of these I keep the newest 
entries at the top and, for others I keep the newest entries at the bottom 
(I have my "reasons" for this). I can't decide whether to be consistent and 
use one approach or mix and match as I'm currently doing.

Any thoughts on best practice? What do you do?

Thanks.

Re: [MLO] Re: Feature Request: Extra task fields (AKA "Custom Task Attributes")

[pottster]

Interestingly, Asana have just added custom field 
functionality https://blog.asana.com/2016/09/track-anything-with-custom-fields/

The more I think about this the more I feel it might be THE big missing 
functionality for MLO power users. The use cases in the Asana blog article 
give an insight about how this feature could be leveraged.

[MLO] Re: Feature Request: Extra task fields (AKA "Custom Task Attributes")

[pottster]

Nothing new I'm afraid. This comes up periodically. See here 
 from 
2009 for example. It might require sync to undergo a fair amount of 
re-development and I'm not sure about the impact on things like database 
structure and integrity. Having said that all that, it would be nice to 
have and I support the suggestion (although not my top priority).

[MLO] Re: Restoring data from previous device

[pottster]

Google Playstore App refund policy (at time of writing) is 0-2 hours - 
automatic via play store app, 2-48 hours apply online via link, 48 hours+ - 
at the discretion of the developer.

[MLO] Re: Hide Project Completion Bar?

[pottster]

Hi Ken

Go to Tools\Options\General Application Options\Themes and 
Formatting\Themes\Edit then select the Tree Format tab and then the General 
sub tab. You will see a checkbox for "Show project progress bar". One of 
the better hidden options in MLO!

[MLO] Re: Accessing Recurrence dialog box (using keyboard)

[pottster]

Ah, ok George, you didn't mention if you were setting up a recurrence or 
editing an existing one. If you are editing an existing recurrence then alt 
+ d does take you to the recurrence dialog. Unfortunately, as you say, 
applying a new recurrence setting requires a mouse click to access the 
dialog. It is still  possible to automate this process using a keyboard 
shortcut via AutoHotkey if you are familiar with creating scripts with that 
program.

[MLO] Re: Has anyone tried the new -r switch for reminders in input parsing??

See what you mean. A comma separator seems to work e.g. "test task today 
-r18/07,14:00"
Note that no spaces must be used.

Re: [MLO] Re: How to I disable the individual pop-up notification windows?

[pottster]

Hi Mandie,

If you go to the Timing & Reminder section of the Properties Pane, to the 
right of the Reminder checkbox is a list of settings. When the Reminder 
checkbox is ticked, the list of settings is clickable and this brings up a 
dialog to change the settings. The settings I think you want are: "Activate 
in Reminders Window" and "Show Desktop Alert". You get an option when 
changing settings to make the change the new default.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

[MLO] Re: Purchase priority. Which should I buy?

[pottster]

In my opinion, the desktop product is the hub and where the power of MLO 
exists. The mobile products are good and convenient but are still adjuncts 
to a desktop set up.

It's only expensive if you compare it to less capable software. You said 
you are "determined to get organised" so look on it as an investment!

[MLO] Re: I thought I would try MLO-Hotkeys by Jon Rumens, but how do you get a list of hotkeys?

[pottster]

Wow, you're going back in time! Not sure what version of Jon's script 
you're using but it should have downloaded with a readme file which 
contains a list of hotkeys. I have attached a copy of the readme file I 
have which may or may not be relevant for you.

To be honest, both MLO and AutoHotkey have moved on since Jon wrote his 
script and you're probably better off (and safer) compiling your own. Good 
luck.

MLO-Hotkeys - AutoHotkey Scripts for MyLife Organized


Thank you for downloading MLO-Hotkeys. The latest version can be found here:
http://www.jonrumens.com/MLO-Hotkeys.zip

MLO Web Site:http://www.mylifeorganized.net/
MLO Discussion Group:http://groups.google.com/group/MyLifeOrganized
AutoHotkey Web Site:http://www.autohotkey.com


What is MLO-Hotkeys?

MLO-Hotkeys is a set of useful scripts (like macro's) to improve your 
productivity when you use the 'MyLife Organized' task management
application.

Each script is assigned a specific 'hotkey' which is the combination
or sequence of keys you press to trigger it.

I think MLO-Hotkeys adds some nice features to MyLife Organized. I like to add 
features this way, using simple AutoHotkey scripts.
Maybe it saves Andrey a bit of time as he doesn't have to worry about so many 
feature requests from me :-)
I know he has many more important development tasks to worry about..
like adding a Calendar View to MLO, hopefully! ;-)


The hotkeys can be customized in the MLO-Hotkeys.ini settings file.


How to install

1. Extract the contents of the zip file to your computer.
2. With MLO closed, run the MLO-Hotkeys.reg file to set the correct
 internal hotkeys within MLO itself.
3. MLO-Hotkeys will autodetect your last used MLO file and use that as
 default. If you need to change this, please change the settings in
 the ini file.
4. Install AutoHotkey from www.autohotkey.com (it's really easy)
5. Run MLO-Hotkeys.ahk, and install a shortcut to your startup folder
 if desired.
6. MLO-Hotkeys will run in your system tray with a purple MLO tree
 icon.


How to update and keep your custom settings

1. Just replace your MLO-Hotkeys.ahk file with the new one.


List of Functions and Default Hotkeys


MLO Context Menu  Left Click & Right Click / Ctrl-Right Click
This will show the MLO-Hotkeys context menu with commonly used
commands. It works under MLO Outline or To-Do list.

ToggleMLO   
  Win-M /   Double Click Tray
This hotkey will Toggle MLO Open and Minimized.
It works even if MLO is minimized to the tray or not running at all.

Rapid Task Entry  Win-N
This hotkey will Toggle the MLO Rapid Task Entry Dialog.
It works even if MLO is minimized to the tray or not running at all.

Rapid Task Favs 
Win-Alt-N
Show the favourite parent selection menu, then open RTE with that
parent selected.

SnippetToTask   
Ctrl-Alt-C
This hotkey script will copy the highlighted text in any application 
and create a new task under the top of the outline using the copied 
text for the task name and notes. It even works with entire web pages.
If you copy the text from Firefox the URL will be grabbed too and
inserted into the notes!

ToggleZoom  
Ctrl-R
Toggle the Zoom on and off.

ToggleNotesProperties   Alt-2
Toggle between the Task Notes and Properties tabs.

ToggleContextsF8
Toggle the Contexts Window Open/Closed.

SelectContexts

Re: [MLO] Entering tasks with date/time included?

[pottster]

You can abbreviate a lot of the parsing commands to make them quicker to 
type e.g. "Test water tomorrow 3p remind 10m" works. The "in advance" is 
superfluous - not much demand for reminders after the event ;-)

Re: [MLO] Entering tasks with date/time included?

[pottster]

Works for me in any view; editing an existing task or adding a new task. 
You don't get a parsing confirmation dialog though, so, are you sure you're 
parsing correctly? (user guide has details)

Yes, we really should have a pinned FAQ on this forum. Would help newbies

 Hi,

 I'm currently an enthusiastic MLO user from the Android world.  In

 I've checked the videos and the forum without much success.

[MLO] Re: MLO combined with paper/BulletJournal?

[pottster]

Hi Lisa,

I was wondering the other day what had happened to you! Glad to hear you're 
doing better and hope you can get back to regular contributions on this 
forum again.

Regarding MLO and note taking...

I was actually thinking about this myself this week. My setup is getting a 
bit of control as I realised that I was using different apps for ideas, 
reminders, lists, brainstorming, research, knowledge bases, document 
writing, quick reference notes etc etc. In total about 12 apps across 
desktop and mobile! Did I say a *bit* out of control? The problem is the 
apps are all great in different ways, and keep getting better. In terms of 
combining with MLO, I'm in the middle of stripping out anything that isn't 
a pure task/project. I want MLO to be solely for clearly defined actionable 
activity.

Rather than recommend one particular app I would take a different tack and 
suggest you might think about using something with voice to text 
capability. This has improved *massively* over the last six months with 
Siri and Google Now becoming the tools they always promised to be. From 
memory, I think you were on Android, and Google Docs have recently added 
dictation support to make it really easy to get down longer amounts of text 
- via both the mobile app and via the web interface. This might be a good 
option if you still having periods where you are incapacitated or limited 
to short bursts of energy.

Graphical notes: - I'm getting boring on this front but I'll say it anyway 
- please look at Scapple
Digitizing hand written paper notes: has to be Evernote
Converting analogue input to digital: Surface Pro + One Note becoming 
unbeatable
Outline notes and lists: I've rediscovered Workflowy recently and I'm 
totally in love with it (i'm a sucker for elegant, simple, design)
Paper notes: Moleskine notebook + Palomino Blackwing pencil (marriage made 
in heaven)

Good luck and good health :-)

Hi Al,

Interesting question. Personally, I use the project functionality in a 
separate data file containing all my projects. The file also contains my 
life goals and each of the projects is cross referred to achieving a life 
goal. I've attached a screenshot showing the Outline structure.

[MLO] Re: Is there any way to filter on highlighted tasks? Or bolded?

[pottster]

Short answer, no. A kludge would be to have a flag which applied automatic 
formatting of highlight/bold and then filter by that flag. You could 
allocate a keyboard shortcut for the flag to replace Ctrl+h/Ctrl+b.

 i'm a big fan of MLO, but one thing i find lacking is integration in

 right now, when i enter  a new task in MLO, i also enter it separately
 on my google calendar, where i have a better weekly overview. is there
 any demand for this, or how do other people solve it?

No, folders in combination with views are the best.

- What folder structure are you using? (e.g. what are the main folder 
> called and how many do you have in the root?)
>

 It wouldn't be helpful to you to have the details of my folder structure. 
Try to have as flat a structure as you can, ideally no more than three or 
four levels - beyond that start using tags (contexts/flags/stars).

- Where do you put your GTD type 'lists' (e.g. 'Someday-Maybe' or 
> equivalent)?
>

Not sure what this means. Remember, MLO is not a notebook, it's a *task* 
manager. 
If you're are asking about stages in a GTD process then they are temporary 
attributes best handled by tags in an Outliner (different story if you're 
using something like Trello). I would use flags, as each stage of the GTD 
process is mutually exclusive.

- What are your main views in the left hand column that you use regularly?
>

Again, my views will not be helpful to you. I'd just say, try not to waste 
time creating too many permanent views - you'll forget about them and you 
won't be able to remember the keyboard shortcuts. Besides, it's easy to 
filter on the fly for ad hoc viewing.

- Do you use hotkeys to jump to Views or to jump to locked Workspace Tabs?


Depends where my hands are. More often, I use Mouse Gestures - it's 
generally quicker and easier to remember (muscle memory).

- How many Contexts do you have - and how do  jump between them?
>

None. But, that's just me. I don't need them.

- Also, do you ever allocate things to do "only in evenings" - if so how?
>

No. But I do mark tasks to look at later in the day when I'm waiting for 
someone or something to progress. I use automatic formatting for this.

IMPORTANT POINTS
This has been said before but it's worth saying again. *There is no 
definitive ideal setup in MLO.* What works for me probably won't work for 
you. Everyone has different goals/priorities/preferred ways of 
working/demands from others/roles/circumstances etc etc

Here is another important point. You're set up will change because your 
goals/priorities/preferred ways of working/demands from 
others/roles/circumstances etc etc will change over time. So you should 
keep an open mind and prepare to change your set up as required.

By all means take ideas from what other people are doing but there is no 
substitute for experimenting yourself and finding what works best for *you. 
*My recommendation would be to spend strictly a maximum of one day per week 
playing with your setup. The rest of the time just get on with your tasks. 
The more tasks you process the clearer the requirements of your set up will 
become to you.

One final thing which may give you food for thought, and since you asked 
about using flags, here is my current list for actual and possible uses for 
giving tasks attributes via flags: -


   - task status (traffic light system)
   - stages of a process
   - changing context
   - physical location
   - energy level required
   - Importance v Urgency
   - device
   - risk level
   - delegation
   - pomodoros (number of pomodoros/task)
   - focus required
   - creativity required
   - Dr Bono's six thinking hats
   - how rewarding when completed
   - top three tasks for the day
   - mood required for task
   - this task needs subtasks
   - daily/weekly goals (keeps a history)
   - setting parsing attributes for formatting in RTE e.g. highlight
   - kanban (drag & drop between groups)


Hope this helps. Sorry, but I won't have time to elaborate any further.

[MLO] Re: Due and Starred

[pottster]

If you mean have a star applied in the star column, then no.

It is possible to have a star icon applied when a task is due in the icon 
column via automatic formatting but, I suspect, you want the star column so 
that you can use associated views.

Your question does raise a very interesting point though. In MLO we can use 
Conditions to apply formatting and filtering perhaps the next step could be 
using Conditions to apply task attributes such as importance/urgency, tags 
(stars/flags/contexts), project status etc. What do other people think?

 If Andrey likes this idea, maybe he can pin this discussion thread at

 alternative migt be to host user's contributions somewhere on the 
 MyLifeOrganized.net website?


 As a starting point, I've attached a group of GTD icons I've created 
 for my own use.  You're free to use, distribute and edit them under a 
 Creative Commons licence. I've included a .txt file with details of the 
 licence and some more information on the reasons for making them flat, 
 simple and block-colour.

 I used TouchDraw on the iPad for creating the icons.
 I recommend IcoFx for creating and editing icons from pictures - This 
 is available as Portable Freeware, eg on PortableApps.com.

 Share and enjoy!

[MLO] Re: Where are column widths stored/determined

[pottster]

The column auto resizing switch is in the registry: 
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MyLifeOrganized.net\MyLife\Settings\ColumnAutoResizing

My guess to turn this off would be set the key value to zero. The usual 
health warning applies; don't mess with the registry if you don't know what 
you're doing.

[MLO] Re: Using keyboard shortcuts, how can I move a task down, directly to the top of a folder? (Windows MLO)

[pottster]

Hmm, if it works for you that's great. Just be careful you aren't just 
getting very good at the digital equivalent of shuffling paper. It's worth 
remembering that GTD was borne essentially by the analogue world and the 
workflow in the book was a paper flow. A guiding principle was to touch 
each piece of paper as few times as possible and for as briefly as 
possible. If you are continually moving tasks in an outline, changing 
attributes, changing format, (none of it moving you closer to done), then 
you might want to look at how you could organize differently. A neatly 
ordered desk isn't as welcome as a clear desk!

[MLO] Re: Entering data into MLO Android in 'Hands Free' mode / whilst driving a car ?

[pottster]

Interestingly, Google announced improved voice interaction for app 
developers in Android 6 (Marshmallow)  at their press conference last 
week.The relevant bit is here .

Definitely something for the MLO android devs to capitalize on.

[MLO] Re: MLO RTE window dialog parsing bug?

[pottster]

I believe this is intended behaviour.

In the MLO User's Guide. section 9.3 Input parsing page 105, states

Complete list of reserved words:
> 1) The week day names (short and long) in English and in your current 
> locale (Mon, Monday, .. Sun,
> Sunday)


I'm taking this to mean that the only supported forms of parsing are the 
full day name or the three letter abbreviation.

[MLO] Re: Someone help me understand why this won't parse

[pottster]

Hi Joel,

I reckon it's because you have enabled the setting in Tools>Options>General 
Application Options>Rapid Task Entry dialog>Place additional text in task 
note if text entered is greater than...

What's happening is that MLO is pushing the text greater than this limit 
(including your parsing switch) into the Notes column without further 
action.

Your choices are: -

   1. Increase the limit in this setting
   2. De-activate the setting
   3. Be more succinct!

Good luck.

[MLO] Re: Entering data into MLO Android in 'Hands Free' mode / whilst driving a car ?

[pottster]

Hi John,

If you've got a recent version of Android and you've got Google Now enabled 
with voice prompt you can use: -

"Ok Google" wait for the tone, "Take a note", wait for the prompt and then 
dictate the task. Currently, the first time you use this it will ask which 
app you want to send the note to. The list I get includes task managers 
like Wunderlist but not MLO. I know you're in the Android Beta group so 
perhaps you could suggest this integration if you need it. In the meantime, 
you could send to another app and copy into MLO at a later time.

Don't forget the "only when it's safe and legal" advice - there is enough 
in-car distraction these days and that's from a long time road warrior who 
knows.

btw if you haven't tried it, the voice activation in android has always 
been good (far better than Siri) and it's recently become even better and 
faster - kudos to Google

[MLO] Re: Delegate Update?

[pottster]

I agree with you Martin. I'm using Wunderlist to share and delegate tasks 
and find it easy and effective. Importantly, the people I use it with are 
either already using it, or find it simple to understand.

It would be a very big decision for MLO to move from single-user to 
collaborative. A better course to take may involve developing integration 
through apps like ITTT and Zapier, or improving the export options e.g. 
opml.

[MLO] Is this the most trivial bug ever reported on MLO forum?

[pottster]

If there is a prize for the most trivial bug ever reported on this forum. 
If so, I'd like to claim it!

The easiest way to reproduce: -

   1. Maximise window
   2. Hide the Task Views Pane
   3. Move the mouse pointer to the extreme left edge of the screen
   4. Slide the pointer down to about 5% (of the window height) up from the 
   bottom and you'll just make out an indentation of about 1-2 pixels (yes, 
   it's that small)
   5. Keep a steady hand and click on it
   6. The Save Current View Settings dialog pops up.

Of course, it could always be an undocumented feature ;-)

Can anyone else reproduce this?

PS Before you ask, I do have too much time on my hands

[MLO] Re: MLO'ers - Looking for volunteers

[pottster]

Well, we did it and, even if I say so myself, it went very well. It was 
just a test but Adam and I both really enjoyed talking about MLO face to 
face with another user. We came to the same conclusions that the Blab 
platform would be great for chatting about MLO in addition to this forum. 
However, we both agreed that the very best next step would be to get Andrey 
involved in either an interview and/or a general chat with users. In case 
he thinks this would be intimidating I have to tell you (and him) that we 
spent most of the time talking about just how wonderful MLO was and how we 
wished he was there so we could tell him personally. What do you all think? 
Would you participate if we arranged something?

2015) at 15.00 UK time (GMT+1). There isn't a unique URL you just go to 
https://blab.im/index and it will be one of the listed broadcasts titled 
Test Discussion run by Ken Warren. All are welcome; you can participate or 
just watch. It's only a test but it might be something which we can use to 
discuss MLO in the future.

 Fellow MLO devotees, I'm looking for two or three people to participate

 *BACKGROUND*
 There is a new website (still in beta) which is taking the Social Media

 public Google Hangouts sessions but what makes it different is: -

- they have absolutely nailed it technically (unlike Google Hangouts)
- they have the format just right
- it's very easy for newcomers

 It's early days but it has a lot of potential. Have a look yourself 
 https://blab.im

 The reason for my request is twofold; firstly, I wanted to host my own 
 Blab to test it out technically, and secondly, I thought it would be fun to 
 chat with people who use MLO.

 *WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW*

- the chats are public, so anyone can watch and listen
- the chats can be recorded although I will not be recording this one 
as it's just a test

 *WHAT YOU NEED*

- same set up as for Skype video calling i.e. reasonable 
webcam/mic/speakers/headset - having said that a lot of people are using 
smartphones successfully
- reasonable internet connection
- willingness to discuss anything MLO (hopefully that's a given) and

 If you want to look at a Blab I was just viewing which may be relevant 
 and interesting to MLO users look here: - Productivity Blab

 If you're interested in participating, message me privately. Any

 No disclaimer required - I'm nothing to do with the site, just wanted to 
 try it out!

 Thanks guys.

[MLO] Re: How to choose fields for XML export?

Hi Jennifer,

I think the export is for all fields by default. If you export and look at 
the XML Source Map (in Excel) Is Folder is there. I should say that I'm 
way outside my comfort zone in this area - I'd love to know more about 
working with this data extract - I think there is a lot of potential here. 
How are you using the extracted data?

[MLO] Re: Confession time: Just how little of MLO am using! (Plus advice sought)

[pottster]

Good luck, but it's beginning to sound more like a kludge than a solution. 
The irony is you're demonstrating exactly why MLO is different because the 
options to shape it to your will seem endless. You would struggle to even 
start this conversation with another tool. Anyway, don't blame the software 
if you spend a whole lot more time chasing rainbows just because you can!

 Interesting, thanks. OK, but this could get confusing if the task you 
 tried to move disappears off the view, because you cant get it back simply 
 by hitting the same hotkey for the second time, because it will then have 
 lost focus (!).

 For now my workaround is to make what was my green flag flag use a 
 completely transparent (16 x 16 px) icon so that it looks identical to a 
 cleared flag. And like I say to filter my Active Do ASAP list on either 
 No Flag OR what was my green flag...

[MLO] Re: Confession time: Just how little of MLO am using! (Plus advice sought)

[pottster]

Hi John,

I was wondering how you were getting on. The good news is that you're still 
using MLO!

Christoph has done a fantastic job of responding to specific points you 
made so I'll just make a few general observations.

My personal breakthrough with MLO came when I stopped trying to learn and 
utilize the complete feature set and, instead, adapted MLO to meet my 
personal requirements and way of working. I'm pretty sure that is true for 
most, if not all, users. Everybody has a different setup. This is the big 
appeal of MLO, that it can be configured to support any task management 
system or methodology. The key here is that YOU have to decide how you're 
going to work, MLO won't dictate to you what that should be. With respect, 
if you need that level of hand-holding you should probably look elsewhere. 
MLO certainly isn't bloatware! It has always been, and is still, very fast 
and has a very small footprint in terms of program and data size. It's a 
mature software product with a large feature set but that does not equate 
to bloatware. I think it was Joel Spolsky who made the observation about 
another software product that users may only use 20% of the functionality 
but it's a different 20% for each user.

You are right in saying that it appeals to power users and isn't completely 
intuitive or friendly for newcomers. That's not ideal but the reason people 
persevere with MLO, or return to it having tried everything else, is it 
rewards the investment of effort.

Spending too much time on your set up is not a unique problem. Far from it. 
The addictiveness of the personal productivity phenomenon as evidenced 
through the amount of software and writing even has it's own euphemism - 
Productivity Porn. You'll never achieve the perfect set up so just get a 
good one and start doing stuff. Your setup will change with your role and 
responsibilities anyway.

A couple of questions for you John - tell us why you are still using MLO? 
What are the things you've found useful?
On Thursday, 13 August 2015 13:17:15 UTC+1, J Smith wrote:



 Hello

 Confession time:
 I thought it would be helpful to this community to report back after a few 
 months of use just how *little* of MLO I am using. In part I am also 
 asking for practical advice on how to make better genuinely 
 *time-efficient* use of more features of MLO.
  

 SUMMARY
 I have discovered that in practice all I am using MLO for is:
 a) A glorified To-Do list - mostly for today
 b) A list of major projects (although this gets less attention that it 
 should)

 HOTKEYS
 In practice I am using VERY little of MLO. Here is what I am using: 
 - I use *Alt/Shift/arrow keys...* a LOT to change priority and 
 indentations into Projects. This is one of the best features of MLO 
 interface.
 - I use Stars (*Control/Shit/S*) for do today  - however I am NOT using 
 the Star outline because I think *visually* and like to see the 2D shape 
 of projects (indentations etc) on the page.
 - I use Highlighting (*Control/H*) to flag up IMPORTANT stuff to do 
 (today). 
  
 - I sit mostly in the Active Tasks outline view(**) and insert 
 tasks/projects directly into it using *Insert* and *Alt/Insert*.
 - I use *Control/S* to input the Start date (e.g. 6h or 2d) to get 
 things to disappear off the view for a few hours or days.

 From time to time I look at the (long/medium term) Goals outline view.

 ...and (slightly shamefully) that's about it.


 BACKGROUND
 I discovered that I was wasting far, FAR too much time learning the 
 system, trying to set things up and discussing the technology... and not 
 getting on with my life!  i.e. Not actually Getting Things Done fast enough!
  

 WEAKNESSES OF MLO
 I still think MLO is massively confusing to any newbie. Bloatware comes 
 to mind. And until this is sorted out I don't think MLO will ever make many 
 significant sales to consumers. I like and use this product. However I am 
 unable to recommend this product to any of my productive/busy friends due 
 to the hideous learning curve. This is product (productivity platform) only 
 for my friends who are hard-core geeks.  I cannot imagine any highly 
 productive CEO of a major corporation using this stuff. 

 Also the Andriod app is - to be brutal - appalling. 
 1. It should sync automatically with my PC. [That's it - no discussion!]
 2. I want to be able to drag  drop items up and down my lists (equivalent 
 to using the Alt/Shift/arrow keys on my keyboard) and also sideways - in 
 and out of a hierarchy. [No discussion on this either!]
 Sorry but *only* if MLO gets these two things right does the app even 
 *begin* to become useful to me.


 ADVICE SOUGHT

 a) Moving tasks between lists
 From time to time I do a weekly review but I now have a ton of stuff 
 (250 - 500 items) on my various GTD style 'lists' and partly as a result 
 moving tasks/projects in out of my different lists is just too hard. i.e. I 
 can't do it in a couple of clicks. So in practice I just don't 

[MLO] Re: Missing Property Pane entries

[pottster]

Hi Douglas,

Not sure if this addresses your issue but the Sections 
Importance/Urgency, Contexts and Goals on the checklist are actually sub 
sections i.e. they are contained within the General section. If you uncheck 
them it doesn't change the list of sections but they disappear from within 
the General section. Hope that makes sense.

 Some of my task properties are not accessible in the property pane even

 Any suggestions?

 I found that if I create a folder and tasks under my Work Projects it

 Does anyone know how I can just move those projects under Work Projects,

[MLO] Re: Interesting article - The Most Productive People Have One Thing In Common: They Do Nothing

[pottster]

The idea expressed in the article is really just another way of saying 
concentrate on doing the right things more than doing things right. In 
other words, create the space/time to regularly review what your current 
priorities and goals are. The important point here is that they CHANGE; 
hence the importance of regular reviews within GTD. A lot of this is 
expounded in David Allen's book Ready For Anything which never got the good 
reviews it deserved because people were expecting another nuts and bolts 
treatise like Getting Things Done. It's worth a read if you haven't already.

 Hello

 What do you make of this interesting article?

 http://elitedaily.com/life/culture/productive-people-do-nothing/1107640/

 Apparently the key to productivity is not blasting through (endless) to-do 
 lists flat out, nope - not even nicely prioritized ones. No, according to 
 David Allen the trick is to create enough 'space' in your mind in order to 
 think clearly. The way to do this can be either to deliberately put stuff 
 off or to deliberately not do most of the stuff on your list at all.

 I think the title is slightly disingenuous - highly productive people 
 don't JUST sit around doing nothing, but nonetheless spending a 
 significant amount of time doing nothing is extremely important nonetheless 
 to one's overall productivity. 

 Food for thought, no?

Hi Alan,

I suspect this will not be possible, certainly in the short term.

Have you considered re-mapping the number pad keys. I have re-mapped my 
NumLock key since I always have this set to on. You could for instance, 
remap the NumLock key to a colon and that way you wouldn't take your hands 
from the numberpad. The easiest way to do this is using AutoHotKey. If you 
are familiar with AHK I can provide you with a script, if not, I can 
provide you with an .exe file. Let me know.

 thinking about phones, Microsoft released the now long dead Windows CE. 
 I've since moved on to (currently) being a registered Desktop, Android, and 
 CloudSync user. In all the years I've searched for tools to fully implement 
 a GTD process, nothing (among literally hundreds of products I've looked at 
 over the years) has ever been able to come close to being able to do it all 
 in one tool. Except for MLO (and one other tool that DavidCo developed 
 internally, but it was based on Lotus Notes (uhg), and didn't have anywhere 
 near the functionality of your amazing little piece of software. 

 I checked the website and couldn't find a specific method for submitting 
 feature requests and product feedback so I thought I'd put it here, since I 
 found a bunch of others already posted to this group when I did a search. 
 As an aside, before I get into it, have you considered implementing 
 UserVoice (https://www.uservoice.com/product/product-management/)? If 
 you haven't heard of it, it's fantastic (at least from a user persepctive). 
 There are a number of small development projects who make products that I 
 use that have implemented it to gather feature requests from their user 
 base. It does a whole lot more to support product development, apparently, 
 but my experience with it is as a user. What makes it so fantastic from 
 that point of view is that it maintains a list of features requested by the 
 community, or suggested by the developers, and allows the users to vote on 
 the features they'd most like to see. Each person gets a finite number of 
 votes to apply, and can add one, two, or three votes to an item. These 
 votes are then locked until either the user removes them to place somewhere 
 else, the feature is implemented and the developer marks it complete, or 
 it's retired.

 Anyway, I'm not posting about user voice. I wanted to ask if it would be 
 possible to add a capability to time entry fields/controls. I live on 
 24-hour time and have all clocks in my life set to the 24-hour format. When 
 ever I reference time in writing I simply have to type 4 digits. E.G. 7:39p 
 = 1939; 3:07am = 0307.

 So far the only place I enter time data is in due dates and reminders, 
 but since my workflow is heavily dependent on reminders I interact with 
 these fields very often. What I'd like to be able to do is enter the time 
 of a reminder just as I've described above, without having to put in the 
 colon.


 I realize this is a special case and, as a hobbyist developer myself, I 
 understand that one tries to avoid special cases as much as possible, but 
 this one in particular would be really really nice to have :)

 I know it probably doesn't seem like much, but since there's no : on the 
 number pad, it's actually quite a distruptive shift to have to change over 
 to the main keys, press shift then ;, then go back to the number pad to 
 finish. In fact, even cooler would be, if I enter only two numbers, they be 
 assumed to be the hour, and the minutes just set to :00.

 At the moment, when i try to enter time like this, the control thinks I'm 
 entering a year, and blows up my date. I've attached a couple of screen 
 shots to illustrate.

 I just spent an hour or so researching online the best practices for 
 storing dates in software (datetime or separate date and time fields) and 
 it looks to me like the controls that have been used conform to established 
 best practices. I don't know how easy it to would be to code up the logic 
 on the controls to evaluate for the condition I've asked for on the 
 LeaveControl event, but if it's not too much trouble I'd really love it!

 Thanks so much for building such a fantastic product! You have a customer 
 for life.

 Regards,
 Alan Limebeer

[MLO] Re: Newbie question: How to write Advanced Filter rule?

[pottster]

Hi Jennifer,

Excellent choice! I've been using MLO for work and play for years - there's 
nothing like it.

The quick(ish) and dirty way of doing what you want is to use the Context 
section of the Filter Pane. Make sure the Operation setting shows a red OR, 
then click on the (none) context and then shift click on the last context 
in your list, finally control click on the context you want to exclude. If 
you use this filter regularly, you can click on the Save View... button.

Advanced filtering is one of the most powerful and unique features of MLO. 
Unfortunately, it has probably never been documented as fully and clearly 
as it might have been. I don't have time right now to go into it 
(volunteers?) but don't be deterred from just experimenting - sometimes 
it's the best way to learn. I suspect that most of the experienced users 
here have built up their knowledge by doing just that.

Hope this helps. Good luck.

 Hello!

 I'm experimenting with MLO.  So far I really like it because it seems to 
 offer a lot of DIY customization, which is a good fit for me.

 My question is, what are the semantics for writing an Advanced Filter 
 rule?  I get the Boolean principles but am not sure about the details.

 I looked for this in the User Manual and in this group but haven't been 
 able to find a general how-to kind of guide.  If someone can help me out 
 I'll be forever grateful :).

 Basically all I want to do is exclude one single context (Waiting For) 
 from my active list. If there's an easier way to do that, I'd love to know 
 it, but I'll still be curious about the general query language.

 Thanks in advance!
 Jennifer

[MLO] Video Tutorials

[pottster]

Hey, video tutorials have launched in MLO desktop! Bizarrely, notice 
appears as a caution triangle in the bottom right corner - there are 
probably better ways to publicise this guys e.g. a mailshot. Anyway, 
congratulations on addressing this very real need - particularly for 
beginners. Can I suggest starting a YouTube channel once the library is 
complete?

[MLO] Re: The MyLifeOrganized story. How your favorite task management app is made.

[pottster]

Hi Marina,

Really nice article! Lots of interesting insights; in particular, about the 
early development of MLO. Good picture of Andrey - I always wondered what 
he looked like. How about some more pictures of the rest of the team? I 
thought it was especially revealing how Andrey takes encouragement from 
words of appreciation - perhaps you should interview some of us old hands 
about our history with MLO so we can tell you why we use it and how it 
makes a difference in our lives ;-)

 Hi everyone!

 Some time ago we promised to be more opened to our users and to regularly 
 tell them about how things are going in MyLifeOrganized. To keep our 
 promise, we made a special blog article with the story of MyLifeOrganized 
 http://blog.mylifeorganized.net/2015/05/mylifeorganized-history.html. 
 There you will find an idea of the app, how different versions were made, 
 how are the developers and what's are our plans. 

 All the MyLifeOrganized team hopes, it would be a very interesting reading 
 fro you. Thanks for being with us!

[MLO] Re: customize the group-by headers format

You can re-format group headers in Tools|Options|General Application 
Options|Themes  Formatting|Themes|Edit|Tree format|Groups format...

 hi,

 Having every group header in blue only is not eye friendly if we have 
 several levels of grouping.
 I'd like to be able to customize the format of the headers.
