I have 51 smart lists, and I use them daily. But there is ONE list that helps me deciding what to do TODAY. It goes like this:

1st the list filters all the due today or overdue to tasks: dueBefore:tomorrow (you all know this). To filter out sleeping tasks, and have my list clean, I add: AND NOT list:¤zzz

2nd and why I call that list "semi-automatic": At the start of every day I decide what are the things I want to do today. That depends on my calendar, where I will be, and what possibilities I have. Also, on priorities and what is important. I go through my other smart lists and tag that task with "-h" for today. In my list that tasks will be shown by: tag:-h

That´s it! So the smart list would be:

(dueBefore:tomorrow OR tag:-h) AND NOT list:¤zzz

There is A LOT of possibilities with that list. As an example:

I only allow myself ONE meal meat a week. So I have a task for that and tag it with: -h, -z1w and let it repeat every week. It will show up once every week and then dissappear again.

So, I use my smart lists only to see what I want to do today, and then use my semi-automatic list only! It is very flexible.

I hope you like it.
