Aha! I've been looking for the "hide notes" command and wondering why it's not "hn". I discovered by a lucky accident that it is "Esc". Is there a command to reorder notes?

I'm experimenting with the best way to manage a large task list. I want to set up priorities, tags, and due dates in helpful ways.  I try to have two modes of work: (1) Manager mode, when I look over all my projects and make a plan. (2) Employee mode, where I have a short list of prioritized tasks and I can focus on getting them done. (This is an analogy -- I am both the Manager and the Employee at different times.) This is why I was drawn to Checkvist. I can set up a detailed hierarchy and review the big picture, but then use filters to narrow my focus for the day.  Often I have a task which is not important right now, but will be high priority on a certain day next week. I'm not sure the best way to handle this. If I give tasks like this a high priority, then they are distracting for the current view. Perhaps I need to wait until their date comes up and then set a priority, but that also has a risk that I won't notice them on the date that they come due. Thoughts? Ideas?

I'm getting started with Checkvist, and wondering if I should create many lists or just make one big list. I will only be using these lists on my own and not collaborating. Will filtering and searching be more powerful if everything is in one list? On the other hand, if I have a list with thousands of items will it bog down? I doubt there is a right or wrong answer. I'm just curious to hear your opinions.
