Organisation of day, week and motivation

calexo says:
For keeping motivation at high level, it's important to fix goals for each day, and know which one got achieved.

So I created those 5 smart lists :
- 0-Late : dueBefore:today
Tasks I have to postpone, for today, or lated, depending on new tasks
- 1-Today : due:today
Tasks planned for today
- 1b-Done : completed:today
Tasks I achieved today. List to watch at the end of the day, for auto-satisfaction !
- 2-Tomorrow : due:tomorrow
Also to look at the end of the day, in order to properly plan the next day
- 3-Week : dueWithin:"1 week of today" and not due:today and not due:tomorrow
What has to be done in the next 7 days (except today and tomorrow), to organise the week, and get a quick overview

I named the smartlists prepended with a number, so those lists are the first ones, and are correctly ordered.

Hope this tip can help!!

Hello,

I think the last list should be in the overview, named "Later On" or something along those lines.

Very useful indeed, congrats calexo.

Hi Calexo,

thanks for sharing this!

In addition I've also created the 3B-Week-2 search using:

dueWithin:"2 weeks" and not dueWithin:"8 days"

Why 'dueWithin:"8 days"'?

3-Week will view the next 7 days and if you use 'dueWithin:"1 week"', you will get you will have a 1 day overlap.
