I hadn't thought of that, but it's not ideal. That means when I add a due
date I have to remember to remove that category... However, if it's the only
way to do it, then I'll have to remember.

My idea is to only view tasks with no due date (at least as one of my custom
views). I know that if I view all tasks I can see the no due date tasks
together, but it's just a way to have a separate view.
