Agreed. My constant struggle with pretty much any task mgr or note-taker. The more I focus on getting it ‘dialed in’ to help clarify my thinking, the more complex it gets and then I start to lose sight of the things I was trying to GAIN CLARITY ON! Agreed that it’s easier to lose tasks in the MLO hierarchy than others.

FWIW, I have MLO set up with two tab views. The first is all of my tasks in their project folders/subfolders, and the second is my tasks that I have marked as important and sorted by urgency. These two windows allow me to see everything as I like (since the program allow hoisting) and what I have deemed important. Granted, the UI is a bit complex and the keyboards commands are not always as I would expect, but the ability to have tabbed views (not unlike a database queries) is nice.
