starting date and due date

mxq says:
I am using "due" as a starting day, and I put due date (deadline) at the head of task line with [ / ]

For example, if I plan to give fresh banana and milk for Bob' birthday(suppose it is Sept. 1) , my RTM task will be

[9/1] Buy banana and milk for Bob ^8/30

This means 8/30 is the starting date and [9/1] is the deadline of the task.

If I have a task which should be completed in March, but do not know when to start, the task may be like

[3/] Plan a joke for April fool's day.

And the task I really want to do some day is simply written as

[ / ] Clean up my storage barn

In this way, smart list "search for: due:never AND [ / ] " lists up the tasks with deadlines but no starting date.

I found this old post when RTM had no start feature. Now (after my post, and more than 5 years) RTM has powerful start feature. But you can not see the start day/time
in a list.
