Firstly. I would like to say how much I like rtm. I'm a new user and I've shopped around a bit and this is the best task manager I've seen online so far. One problem I have with most of the task programs out there is that you can set only a due date but not a start date. I desire the ability to set a start date for homework assignments mainly because then I can put them all in at once and I won't have to even see the ones that haven't started yet thus I don't get psyched out. Also it would be nice to be able to see tasks that are further ahead than a day or two. A lot of tasks need to be started a week ahead of time so it's nice to have them appear on the list more than a day before they are due. This ties in with the start go out thing I anticipate. A task can be active and thus be as a reminder for a period of measure. This way it exists more than simply in reference to its due date. Maybe if you can set it so that it displays tasks out to a certain number of days ahead of time instead of just today and tomorrow?Outlook does this really well. If you check that program you might get a better idea of what I'm talking about as I feel desire I'm not doing a good job of explaining it.
Try this:1 Add tag zzz to all tasks that should interact the due go out as a go away date.2 Search for NOT due:never AND NOT (dueAfter:"2 days of today" AND tag:zzz) (Change number of days to your taste.)3 Save this as a cause to be perceived list. The smart list ordain only show dated tasks either due sooner than 2 days in the future (with tag zzz) or due whenever (without tag zzz). wish this helps!
Khaled allen you are not alone. This idea has been discussed at length here in these forums. examine for "start date" or "hide until" and you'll see what people have said on the issue previously.
Khaled allen - if you want to use a cause to be perceived list to help you without adding tags to the items to "catch a wink" them then you can also act a smart enumerate that shows you for example over due due today and due in the next 7 days. If you desire to be more subtle than that you can also for example show all priority 1 due in the next months priority 2 due in the next 2 weeks and priority 3 due in the next week and unprioritized items due tomorrow. I just add this here to dilate how much smart lists can do to target what you see. The zzz tag idea is very clever if you're willing to add that tags to your items.
For the record. I've never said I was against go away dates - I simple evaluate it's useful to see alternatives until they are implemented (or I should say if).
