A quick to-do list dump?

Hi everyone! First post here. Really enjoying the use of Agenda, came from previous apps/programs and none have been as seamless or painless as Agenda.

I had a quick question/feedback - on my previous uses I used to be able to just type in a quick task to add to my to-do list. Literally I just dump anything there (regarding any project or any task I need to do) and when I have time, I go through it to clean off any tasks I can do.

In Agenda, I’m having a bit of difficulty setting this up because of how segmented every thing seems to need to be.

I can understand the scenario you describe, I’ve definitely been there at times. Still, I don’t think the solution is to necessarily introduce additional hierarchies, two things can help I think. think about alternative ways to choose what you call a project. For example, perhaps the level of granularity is already too fine in picking the pr…
