Oh, I just meant I would have another task with a due date that is the actual due date for that "big task" to signal that it really needs to be completed.

So, writing a big report, I might have:

"Work 2 hours on report for XYZ" @Office <starting today> <due today> <repeat every day>

and
"Report for XYZ must be complete" @Office due <whenever the report is due>
