As usual in MLO there are many ways of achieving this. Most of the time that I am engaging with tasks and completing them, I am working off of a view called "daily". This is a to-do list that tries to show every task that I might have to deal with today, in something like a priority order. I don't expect to do all of these tasks today. I expect that wherever I am ready to start a new task, the task I want to do next should always be on this list and almost always be really close to the top of the list. It's created by a pretty long custom filter with lots of conditions. I would add a condition that says "or ((flag = highlight) and (duedatetime OnOrAfter Today) and (duedatetime OnOrBefore Today+30)) and I would sort or group the list by flag in order to put highlight records at the top. Perhaps I would use auto formatting to put a background colour behind tasks with a Highlight flag.
Once all that's done, if I created a task called Plan for my wife's birthday, made it due on her birthday and set the highlight flag it would show as a headline on my task list for the month before her birthday. If I made it a repeating task it would appear for a month every year. After 30 days it will drop off of the list, even if I haven't marked it completed. But I will have to complete it if I want it to come back next year. -Dwight On Saturday, April 16, 2016 at 5:00:24 AM UTC-4, Jorgen Bodde wrote: > > Hi, > > I am reading a book called "getting Results the Agile way" for personal > and work related project and todo management.
