I played with the Review system a bit. The problem I see there is that it's only at the Project level, not the individual task level. This doesn't work well for my idea of using this as a tickler for tasks. I also want ticklers to exist at different intervals, so the Review system ain't right.
So, I'm back where I started this morning: in the absence of setting a due date, how do you remind yourself to tickle an item?
To be more concrete, I tend to have tasks that look like this:
"Steve to review router installation parameters"
Let's say this doesn't have a definite due date, or it does have a due date, but I don't want to let the entire discussion languish until its due. Is my only course of action to set a due date, then keep pushing it back, having to remember the "hard" due date? Or can I set up intermediate checkpoints somehow?
How do others handle this?
