Tasks are to-do items that need to be done now or starting on a particular date, and possibly need to be completed by a due date. I don't want to be reminded on the due date - it's too late by then. Tasks are items that are not scheduled at a particular date at at certain time, like an appointment, but are things we need to do starting "now" - and if we can't finish them today, they roll over to tomorrow, etc. The book, GTD, discusses appointments vs. tasks. OF aims to be a GTD app, not an appointment book.
