I think, if I understand this correctly, that your comment refers to strategy rather than software, is that right?
I ask, because your strategy is currently possible with MLO and most (every?) other task manager I've ever seen, and allowing my strategy would not impact that at all. My strategy,while not ubiquitous, certainly has some agreement, as it's part of GTD by David Allen. So if you're asking for the requested change not to be made, I don't understand at all, and if you're just commenting on strategy then I'm totally on board with you having a different strategy than me. If all of us were the same some of us would be redundant. I started using MLO because it was the first place I saw that seemed to try to allow everyone to use their own strategy as much as possible, while most other task managers wanted the user to change to match the tool. Users who can do that are probably more productive than I am, thus more successful, thus able to pay more for their tools. So it makes sense that that's how they would be built. But it's not why I picked MLO. ;-) - Trevor. On Wed, Sep 26, 2018 at 2:45 AM Stéph <[email protected]> wrote: > I actually disagree.
