I'm a fairly new OF user, and I like it a lot.
However, there's one thing I don't really catch; How to create and use projects within projects.
The problem for me is, that almost everything I do is a kind of project. For example, we have just bought a house, and there's a lot to do and restore in the house.
Buying a new fridge for example, involves comparing fridges, talk to a salesman, talk to some friends, look at fridges, having the right measurements, being a low powerconsumer fridge, etc etc. Many of these things are projects in themself.
When I created this kind of situations before OF I could easily do it in a text document, someting like this:
HOUSE
So, basically my questions are:
- What is the difference between Add Project and Add Child?
- How can I create a project within a project?
- Is that the right way to do it or is there a better way?
- Am I not thinking in the right way at all?
I have looked at the video, but I haven't read the manual yet...
Thanks for any advice!

Buy new fridge
These projects and indenting can be made in OF with the Add Child command. However, when creating a new task with the Quick Entry Shortcut the only Project I can choose is "HOUSE", I want to be able to choose the underlying Projects as well...Comparing fridgesFridge 1Talk to a salesman
