LOL Elizabeth I can't remember if I did reply to you (since comments get 
approved first and don't appear immediately) or not but thank you, 
basically (in case I didn't) I am looking for more than a to do list like I 
said before.

I have been researching and think I might have a patch. Please any ideas be 
free to tell me it will be appreciated. Since I guess just because I need 
it the program won't change. Also if you guys know of any other program 
that suits/complements my needs also please tell me.

Ok here goes:
Context for each day: !1 Mon, !2 Tues ...
Then create a new view
Filter only !0X Day contexts
Group by context with no hierarchy

That is my tasks for that week, so every week I can filter due in the next 
7 days, and assign contexts, then se all other tasks and and assign context 
of day if necessary. and if I input duration for those tasks and add the 
column I might just add it up in my head and change the context in that 
view to pass the task to another day if necessary. I just wish I could add 
the time automatically.

Sounds good? any other ideas would be appreciated.

thanks!
