The Bigger Picture - Weekday Headings

caecus Pro says:

Sometimes I find the small day names written to the right of tasks don't quite cut it when observing what is due on each day of the upcoming week.

An elegant solution for this is to add weekday heading tasks due on their day and repeating weekly.

These tasks will continually reproduce each week after each day is up or when you mark the previous task as complete. To reduce maintenance, you can ignore old headings and let new headings be automatically created a week ahead of time.

To do this ensure that the weekday tasks are tagged as such, or in a specialist list, then modify smart list search criteria to not include old headings: (NOT (tag:weekday-heading AND dueBefore:today)).

Hope some people find this useful.

I nominate this for tip of the week. It's not something I have ever sought out, but it's a perfect example of how powerful mixing and matching smartlists can be.

Thanks, thats cool.

As I do sort by priority, I have two of those each, with P:2 and P:3. Also, I tag them with -t (technical) and sort them out in the list I do not need them.
