I star items I want at the top of my list - and use this for the same reason you say - a list of thing I want to work on but do not want to put a date on. I use Sort and put Star as the first sort option.
What I want is a way to then integrate those tasks with Google Tasks, so I can see them next to the Calendar, which only has real appointments in it (eg not start and due dates for project like things) Cheers, Grant On Tuesday, July 14, 2020 at 6:35:08 PM UTC+2, Mark Levison wrote: > > Andrey - thanks. > > My naive leaning would be just give me an option not to sync start dates > with the calendar at all.
