Confused about repeating tasks Thread Tools Search this Thread Display Modes
Prev Previous Post   Next Post Next
I have a single action list that is I use for simple, repeating tasks.

Example: Change A/C filter every 3 months. So I set the start date for tomorrow and for it to repeat every 3 months from the date of completion. I'm not using a due date since it's not a problem if I don't do it on the exact date.

So I'm using a start date only, no due date. That's my current method. But, is this the best way to do this? What difference would it make if I added a due date also? Say 10 pm the night that it started? Or should I not use a start date at all in this case and just use a due date?

I simply don't get the difference between using the start date, the due date, or both, and when the circumstances are best for one over the other two.

Thanks for any help.
