Hello
I am aware that GTD theory is uses very "flat" lists. After all originally GTD lists were originally just paper lists. And I know that I probably create more hierarchies that I should... however when you have some fairly large projects, you do need to be able to work on more than one thing at once during any given day.
I guess one can create sub projects manually by duplicating the top level project name
e.g.
Project name: "REPAIR HOUSE - ROOF FIXED"
Project name: "REPAIR HOUSE - BATHROOM FIXED"
Project name: "REPAIR HOUSE - SITTING-ROOM NEW CARPET"
Rather than say:
Project name: "REPAIR HOUSE"
Sub-project name: "ROOF FIXED"
Sub-project name: "BATHROOM FIXED"
Sub-project name: "SITTING-ROOM NEW CARPET"
But that feels rather clunky to have to create titles with repeating names in them, no?
Also if you want to get everything to do with repairing the house minimised (for now) the latter structure would be much more convenient, no?
Personally I quite like being able to see the tree structure of data as it helps me find my way around...
Any thoughts?

Personally I like to be able to convert between Project (or sub-project) and Task (and/or sub task) very easily too - because my brain often likes to change its mind about exactly what something actually is.
Both MLO and GTDNext allow you to do this. Do you know any other sofware that fulfils the above ?
