sub-projects
I have a lot of projects that are sub-projects of other projects; which are themselves projects of others. i.e. (bottom-up): submit loan documents to xyz bank >> loan >> remodel house >> sell House >> Move to Texas
How does one deal with this in Enleiten?

Inappropriate?At the moment, we don't explicitly support sub-projects. While that will likely be coming (we've had mixed feedback on whether to support them, so we haven't made up our minds yet), there are a couple of options for how you could hack around it. One option is to take advantage of the fact that contexts set on a project are inherited by the tasks, so you could, say, have a context of "Move to Texas" that you would set on each of the associated projects.
Another option would be to name your subprojects in a way that indicates their parent (so you can keep track of it) and then manually order your projects in a way that make sense. To reorder your projects, go to the All Projects screen and just drag & drop..
Does that help?1 Comment

OHHH! Please add support for sub-projects! Tasks (in most cases) are steps to achieving a larger goals and even larger goals.
I've got a lot of oars in the water (who doesn't?) 5 kids (15yro - "in the oven"), a husband who owns 4 resturants, a computer consulting business, corporate work, house loan, home remodel, home sale, relocation move, 3 rental properties, and on and on...
And in most cases elements of one project "touch" another project in some way or another.
Also the ability to print in day, week, month, next action, project task list, etc. is vital. Computers are great, but some times there is no replacement for a piece of paper on which to visualize, checkoff, or transport (grocery store is good example). -
Inappropriate?If it helps, I can grab some sample screenshots of how I have these set up personally too.1 Comment Add a comment

That would be wonderful! Could you please?

Inappropriate?No problem.
I use contexts in a GTD sense and as more normal web 2.0 style tags to organize my task lists.
@ is to help me pick what I energy and resources to work on
A: is for areas of focus- I review this on completed tasks every few weeks to see if I am allocating my time well and in line with my priorities
F: lets me find tasks related to certain types of functionality within the app
P: pulls tasks and tasks within projects that all belong together so I can get an overview of what is happening in subprojects and the whole project (anything that can happen in parallel gets its own project, things that need to happen in order generally go in the same project)
V: things related to only some versions of the app development
To pull together related subprojects, I can click the relevant context tag:

Inappropriate?You also mentioned the ability to print - pretty much any on screen view (a project list, your next actions list, a context list of tasks) has a print stylesheet with it that should generate a clean copy for you to print and take with you.
I attached a screenshot of what would get sent to your printer from the context view above:
