[MLO] Recurrence without a due date
Another solution might be to set a due date so far in the future it will effectively never come up. It will keep getting pushed off each time you complete the task a generate a new one. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MyLifeOrganized group.

RE: [MLO] Re: Recurrence without a due date
Hi, David. Here's a way to think about the due date requirement on recurring tasks. MLO actually recognizes the kind of use cases you are describing, and for that reason it's really good at handling tasks that have a start date but no due date. The exception is for recurring tasks. So, in order for the task to have a scheduled recurrence, you normally need some idea of when you will finish the current occurrence, right? So you can just set the current recurrence to finish just before the next one begins. I say normally because when you say recurs x period after completed you may well have no idea when you will complete it or when the next occurrence will actually begin. In those cases you can use the technique that someone posted and give a due date that's impossibly far into the future. That works for most cases, the exception being Dave the OP, who wants to treat tasks that have a due date assigned more seriously than those that don't. So in his case it's not just that the due date is an annoyingly pointless thing, it actually detracts from his task management. -Dwight Reminder: I'm just a user of MLO and this is just my opinion and may have no resemblance to the actual design philosophies and decisions of MLO developers.

Many of my use cases are I don't want to start worrying about something until a particular date, that doesn't mean its due on that date. d -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MyLifeOrganized group.
