Your favourite RTM Smart List?

The idea is for us to share our favourite RTM Smart Lists, and maybe we can see what neat tricks each of us thought of.

I'll go first, this is my smart list:

NOT (isRepeating:true AND added:Today) AND (startBefore:Now OR start:never OR start:tomorrow AND priority:1) AND NOT (location:Subtasks-Only-Pending)

And I sort by Priority & Date Updated.

The idea is that when I plan my day, I can make any task Priority 1 to be visible regardless of the start date. And other tasks don't become visible until their start date is reached.

Other than that, I like very much the productivity boost I get from sorting my tasks on date modified. It more or less 'automatically' makes sure all tasks have an equal opportunity of getting done.

Also neat, when I add some subtasks and those are all that need to be done, I can move the parent task to "Subtasks-Only-Pending" and the parent task itself won't be shown, but instead the subtasks will be shown in the list.

What are your favourite smart lists?

That's a great idea! Thanks for sharing it.

due:today and not list:¤zzz

I use it all the time. Of course you also need the zzz list:

((tag:zzz AND dueAfter:now) OR (tag:z1h AND dueAfter:"1 hour") OR (tag:z2h AND dueAfter:"2 hours") OR (tag:zxh AND dueAfter:"12 hours") OR (tag:z1t AND dueAfter:"1 day of now") OR (tag:z2t AND dueAfter:"2 days of now") OR (tag:z3t AND dueAfter:"3 day of now") OR (tag:z1w AND dueAfter:"1 week of now") OR (tag:z2w AND dueAfter:"2 weeks of now") OR (tag:z1m AND dueAfter:"1 month of now") OR (tag:z2m AND dueAfter:"2 months of now") OR (tag:z3m AND dueAfter:"3 months of now"))

This list ensures that tasks due at a certain time are hidden a certain period of time before. This can be defined in certain ways.

Glad you like the zzz smart list Organisator ;-)

I like weekend smart lists for each year, they become really long but work fine anyway.

If you want to create your own weekend smart lists, I made a Google Sheet file:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14hMOOKhbt8WF7SdWGqVmG2RCDPsKsms_6kB2PLWI9Fg/edit?usp=sharing

For 2023, with date format YYYY-MM-DD and Saturdays+Sundays as weekends:
due:2023-01-06 OR due:2023-01-07 OR due:2023-01-13 OR due:2023-01-14 OR due:2023-01-20 OR due:2023-01-21 OR due:2023-01-27 OR due:2023-01-28 OR due:2023-02-03 OR due:2023-02-04 OR due:2023-02-10 OR due:2023-02-11 OR due:2023-02-17 OR due:2023-02-18 OR due:2023-02-24 OR due:2023-02-25 OR due:2023-03-03 OR due:2023-03-04 OR due:2023-03-10 OR due:2023-03-11 OR due:2023-03-17 OR due:2023-03-18 OR due:2023-03-24 OR due:2023-03-25 OR due:2023-03-31 OR due:2023-04-01 OR due:2023-04-07 OR due:2023-04-08 OR due:2023-04-14 OR due:2023-04-15 OR due:2023-04-21 OR due:2023-04-22 OR due:2023-04-28 OR due:2023-04-29 OR due:2023-05-05 OR due:2023-05-06 OR due:2023-05-12 OR due:2023-05-13 OR due:2023-05-19 OR due:2023-05-20 OR due:2023-05-26 OR due:2023-05-27 OR due:2023-06-02 OR due:2023-06-03 OR due:2023-06-09 OR due:2023-06-10 OR due:2023-06-16 OR due:2023-06-17 OR due:2023-06-23 OR due:2023-06-24 OR due:2023-06-30 OR due:2023-07-01 OR due:2023-07-07 OR due:2023-07-08 OR due:2023-07-14 OR due:2023-07-15 OR due:2023-07-21 OR due:2023-07-22 OR due:2023-07-28 OR due:2023-07-29 OR due:2023-08-04 OR due:2023-08-05 OR due:2023-08-11 OR due:2023-08-12 OR due:2023-08-18 OR due:2023-08-19 OR due:2023-08-25 OR due:2023-08-26 OR due:2023-09-01 OR due:2023-09-02 OR due:2023-09-08 OR due:2023-09-09 OR due:2023-09-15 OR due:2023-09-16 OR due:2023-09-22 OR due:2023-09-23 OR due:2023-09-29 OR due:2023-09-30 OR due:2023-10-06 OR due:2023-10-07 OR due:2023-10-13 OR due:2023-10-14 OR due:2023-10-20 OR due:2023-10-21 OR due:2023-10-27 OR due:2023-10-28 OR due:2023-11-03 OR due:2023-11-04 OR due:2023-11-10 OR due:2023-11-11 OR due:2023-11-17 OR due:2023-11-18 OR due:2023-11-24 OR due:2023-11-25 OR due:2023-12-01 OR due:2023-12-02 OR due:2023-12-08 OR due:2023-12-09 OR due:2023-12-15 OR due:2023-12-16 OR due:2023-12-22 OR due:2023-12-23 OR due:2023-12-29 OR due:2023-12-30
