Hi, Joel. Every recurring task has a start date and a due date. I'm guessing that you are assigning the start date as "the day when I want to start doing this task." Try instead thinking of it as "The day when I want to start seeing this task in my to-do list.
Imagine you have a task you need to do on the 25th of each month. You could set it up to reoccur (due date) on the 25th of every month with a lead time of 0, which would put the start date on the 25th of each month. Every month you will see no notice of it until the 25th hits, and it will show up and also be due. Instead, if you put your due date for the 25th of each month, and your lead time for 7 days, the start date will show up on the 18th of each month and you will have the task on your to-do list a week before it's due. -Dwight On Thursday, August 8, 2013 6:17:03 PM UTC-4, Holmes245 wrote: > > I had a question on recurring tasks.
