De-stressing the day
Hello,
in the day view I find it a bit stressful to see tasks that are not due until the evening.
So I created a smart list, surprisingly called "today", which contains the following part in the query:
... AND (dueBefore:"6 hours of now") AND NOT due:tom ...
For tasks like taking pills this evening, I set a due TIME. This has two advantages:
a/
I'm not confronted with tasks that aren't due until the evening every time I look at today's list.
b/
I receive a notification on my smartphone
Of course, the time at which the task is to be shown can be set as desired. After some trial, I set 6 hours.
A second smart list called "upcoming" shows ALL today's tasks and the tasks for the next 10 days. Just to get an overview of what is coming up in the course of the day and the next few days. Alternatively the build-in list "This Week" can do the same.
Cheers!
Jens
