Completed Task in a Calendar...

ddosen Pro says:

This is for the retentive folks out there - When I complete tasks, I like to see what I've accomplished. Lists are fine, but I want to see it in a calendar application.

We can show all the tasks we will work on in the future via a calendar feed and that's a great feature, especially when you add a due time and estimate for a task. The problem is, once you complete the task, it's removed from your list, and therefore removed from the calendar when you sync next. You can't monitor your progress in a calendar! So, what if you allowed for the publishing of completed tasks in a calendar feed. You could then see a record of what you've done in this view.

I can't create a feed out of completed tasks, because the in RTM won't let me. Why not? I'd be happy to subscribe to two calendars - one for future tasks, and one for past tasks...

Can you make this change?

I would whole-heartedly support this feature, as I think it would be helpful to know what I've completed - gives me a sense of purpose if you will. Is this in the works? Can it be done?

I agree, there's something very satisfying about seeing all your completed, ticked-off tasks.

A workaround that is sometimes suggested is to mark a task as completed not by checking it off, but by adding a complete tag to it. You then suppress items tagged complete from your active lists and have the tasks tagged completed still appear on the calendar. An odd workaround, but it might do what you want.
