Other examples: - 12 months worth of statements to process - you might break down into 12 separate recurrent tasks (no due date)
Alternate complete - have considered this. But there are at least 3 disadvantages: - New task is generated immediately after completion of old one - would be great to have it generate (or start) a set period AFTER - e.g. one week later (but NO due-date) - No way of tracking number of recurrences (so you know when a task is complete, where this is not self-evident) - Can't use on MLO for Android, afaik On Friday, 26 November 2010 13:13:12 UTC, daneb wrote: > > Hi, > if I understood it correctly, you can emulate duplication of tasks > without due date by alternative complete (hold ctrl + check "complete" > check box) - task is completed and duplicated as new uncompleted task, > which is what you actually want by recurrence without due dates.
