I have come back to OmniFocus after trying many other GTD solutions. I am using the Omnifocus on the Mac, iPhone, and iPad. OmniFocus still remains the most powerful and less intuitive package. GTD systems should not bog you down with organizing your thoughts.

I know this question has been posted several times, yet the answers don't really get me further along.

When one adds a quick task entry, it ends up in the inbox, which is perfect. Then you drag the single action item into a folder and it becomes a project; not always ideal. I want to convert the project into a single action item. It seems that folders can only hold projects; and projects hold single action items (which is not ideal).

Here are some thoughts on my hierarchy.

House (Folder)

Finish Shelf Lining (Project) @Home

Shelf lining - Cabinet under the sink (Single Action) @Home

Shelf lining - Cabinet above the fridge (Single Action) @Home

Route the ethernet cable from the Living Rm (Single Action; but OF defaults to Project) @Home

UnPacking (Project) @Home

Box 1 (Single Action) @Home

Box 2(Single Action) @Home

Call the Plumber (Single Action; but OF defaults to Project) @PhoneCall

Do I have to convert my folders to projects; then use them for projects and single actions? The question relates to disregarding Folders as the top level hierarchy. Please explain how you use Folders versus Projects versus Single Action Collections. I am just use to organizing tasks in folders and tasks having subtasks.
