When I put my life and information and plans and schemes and goals into a
program like MLO, the last thing I want is for the company producing that
No articles or tuturials I can think of aside from the ones in MLO help
files, but here are some ideas to try out.
For the longest time, I kept my goals and supporting tasks in my task

Week, Month, Year. Bad idea. Just mar
I do really like this idea of being able to pay to vote for prioritization
of upcoming features, at least on a small scale. If each product vote cost
$1 (or some other nominal amount) it would quickly reveal how badly
customers want a feature, and possibly provide some degree of funding for

I am just starting to explore the "12 Week Year" approach with MLO. It's
looking very promising!!
I've previously tried mishmash of other approaches, GTD, Scrum, Agile
Results, and even 4DX.

I have to say that the "12 Week Year" approach is looking promising in the
I am just getting started with the "12 Week Year" (12WY) planning and
execution system in MLO, after trying a bunch of other things over the
years in MLO.
Anyone have experiences to report using MLO to support a 12WY approach to
goals and tasks?

I use the Pomodoro Technique heavily at times, but intermittently overall.
I would probably use that feature if it was part of MLO, especially in the

My favorite Pomodoro app, on Android, is the "Productivity Challenge

I really need to focus on.
We'll see how long I stick with it though.

As a developer, you would want to write each piece of (core) code that does
something useful *once*, and in a way where it would be able to run either
as part of a desktop execution model or a cloud service model.
So the core services that are part of MLO would
I 100% agree with what Saumil writes, and the GTD market is a huge, huge
market for MLO. Compared to the simplicity of using GTD in Web tools like
NirvanaHQ, Nozbe (which I understand works similar to "Things" on Mac), and
several others, MLO is decidedly much less approachable.

The answer to your question is NO, that custom views are NOT propagated to
other files, in my experience. Then I found the Import/Export
functionality for Views...
In MLO there is a feature to save and export Views. I thought I could use

I finally made separate MLO files for Work and Personal.
Maintaining the system to keep them all in one file took extra work to set
up separate-but-equal views.
I decided that I really only need my Personal items synced to my Android
device.

I finally ran across and started using this feature today!
No more futzing with MLO Outlook sync trying to get it to work, when it
just really doesn't work for what I want to do.

After fighting with MLO Outlook sync and not being able to get it working
properly, I am adopting Dwight's workaround.
For whatever reason, the MLO and Outlook sync simply don't reliably support
the following use case:
I want to mark emails in my company's email system as tasks, and have them

I've read and attempted to use, or at least implement ideas from, nearly
all the books mentioned thus far, and it's a great list. I have been using
a lot of David Allen's GTD ideas for years, and MLO provides great support
for GTD concepts, especially contexts and his notion of projects.

Correction: In this post I meant to say:
"So anything involving "action" or "projects" and "tasks" and
"dependencies" is in MLO, and all reference information other than cursory,
action-oriented info (e.g., part number to buy at the parts shop) is in
EVERNOTE."
