Not sure if this is a request for help with how to use the program or GTD correctly, or a feedback request for new features.
One of the main perspectives I have is labeled "ToDo Today" and is a list of all the tasks that I am working on that day. The only way that I can get these to show up (filter them so I can see them as the stuff needing to be worked on today) is to give them "Due Dates" of today...
However, if I don't finish it that day (and many of them I don't) it turns red and stays in my "due yesterday" column.
Is there such thing as a "rolling" due date? As in - you are working on this, and you should be reminded of it, so it should show up in your Due Items list, but if you don't finish it today its not the end of the world?
I end up spending the end of the day changing all the due dates for the stuff that I didn't finish to tomorrow's date so they will show up in the Due Items list...
There must be a better way, or a feature that allows for the due date to "roll" so that it can stay in the due items list. I guess I am treating it as an "active tasks" list, but I am not sure how else to do it...
Maybe this isn't good GTD practice, but some of my work consists of items that can't be further broken down (i.e. revising a manuscript) but I still need to be reminded that it is there to be worked on that day.
How do others deal with these "rolling" tasks that are never finished in one day, but that you have to be reminded of daily???
I am already using flags as a bit of prioritization, so not giving it a due date and using flags won't really work... Any other ideas? TIA!
