I'm guessing that not all of those 1,200 tasks are "active". Some projects may probably be set to "on hold" status or deferred to a later start date.

Setting some of my projects to "on hold" helps me to manage things. My "on hold" projects are what is called "Someday/Maybe" projects. I'm putting these on the back burner and will review it in the future to see if I should activate them in the future. I've had quite a few projects that have been on hold for some time. Oftentimes, I'll just delete them and record them in an OmniOutliner document that is called "Projects that I decided not to do." Then I put the date of deletion and the reason why I decided not to do it.

This gives me a sense of history. I might get interested in restarting a project. But I will look at this outline document to remind myself why I deleted it in the first place. Then I can decide whether to continue or just keep it in "Projects I decided not to do."
