My Tickler setup
tclaiborne says:
I had been looking for a good solution for Tickler style tasks (a la the 43 folders from GTD), and I've finally got one that has stuck in my system.
It involves two lists: a regular list called Tickled and a smart list called Tickler.
Tickled is just a regular list. For Tickler I create a smart list using the following search:
list:Tickled and (dueWithin:"1 day of today" OR dueBefore:today)
When I have something that I want to be reminded of on a certain day, I put the task in the Tickled list with a due date of when I want to be reminded.
I can check the Tickler list in the morning each day to see if there's anything for to check on. The way I prefer to do this though is to use the "A Bit Better RTM" extension for Chrome, which shows the count of tasks next to each list. This way I don't even need to open the list, I can just glance.
It's working well for me, so I thought I'd share it with you all. Hope it helps
