I'd also like to see tasks without a due date on the overview page and on the weekly overview printout.

Seconded / thirded. Being able to complete tasks shown in the overview would make a lot of sense.

Yeah, and to be able to see which list they're in would also be helpful.

fifthed. I was coming here to suggest this but found the thread already. I'm tending to find tasks I've already done piling up in the overdue list and am getting dizzy going back and forth trying to mark them as complete.

Showing the list might help also in case the user has relied on the list name as context for the task. For instance, a GTDer might have an agenda list for a particular person or working group. The "Lisa" list might say "discuss memo." Without knowing the list it belonged to, the user might ask "with whom?"

The ability to complete or postone tasks for the overview screen would a great addition to the system!

Every morning I start out on my Overview Screen. The overview screen is where our due, overdue and upcoming tasks from across all lists are amalgamated, it is something that we ought to be able to keep on our screen, postpone, mark tasks complete, and make notes.

Every morning I sit down at my computer and there might be 10 tasks in my list, some of them routine early-morning stuff that takes a minute, or 3 minutes. A *lot* of what seems unnecessary clicking goes on:
- click on a task to see it's note (or to see if it even has notes), then click back to Overview
- click on a task you just finished, mark it complete, click back to Overview
- click on a task you are postponing, postpone it, click back to Overview

It would be a much superior user experience if we could just work with the tasks that are on our plate Today without the screen switching to a task list the task comes from (where there are many distractions having nothing to do with Today), and then having to switch back (if we didn't get distracted) to begin knocking of the next task in Today's list.

Please please please :-)

please also let us enter a new task from Overview. Often when scanning or working with what is due, overdue and coming up, a thought pops up of another task or follow-up task that needs doing.

Switching us out of Overview and into task lists every time we need to--
- complete
-postpone
-edit the task
-see whether there is/are notes
-create/edit/view a note
-see what list the task is in *
-etc

.... takes our focus off what we're supposed to be doing Yesterday/Today/Coming-Up.

* we might have two tasks with similar verbiage having to do with two different projects ... at the least please show listname & note count?? But ideally full editing. If at all technically possible. Thanks.

woops add to the above list:

- create a new task

that's a lot of instances in which our focus is taken off our overview of things.
