I use show reminders but add smarts, when a reminder occurs if I do
it, I tag the tiddler with "sleep" if it is a reoccurring thing, or
closed if it is finished.

You can then use the following in the ShowReminder Syntax;

tag:"STRING" - This filters out tiddlers based on the tag applied to
them. Supply a space-separated list of tags. If a tag name begins with
an !, then only tiddlers which do not have that tag will be
considered. For example tag:"examples holidays" will search for
reminders in any tiddlers that are tagged with examples or holidays
and tag:"!examples !holidays" will search for reminders in any
tiddlers that are not tagged with examples or holidays.

eg; tag:"!sleep !closed"

The Source is
http://remindermacros.tiddlyspot.com
and also contains the showReminders Macro but heaps of other tiddlers
are required for all the documentation and examples.

eg;
<<showReminders leadtime:-10...0 format:"|DIFF|''TITLE''|DATE |In
TIDDLER|" >>

Shows reminders upto 10 days old, I imagin you can make this 100 if
you want.

and
<<showReminders leadtime:-10...0 format:"|DIFF|''TITLE''|DATE |In
TIDDLER|" tag:"!sleep !closed ">>

Shows reminders upto 10 days old, and not tagged sleep or closed.

With the above example you could have a separate tiddler that shows
<<showReminders leadtime:-100...-10 format:"|DIFF|''TITLE''|DATE |In
TIDDLER|" tag:"!sleep !closed ">>

which is the list of items that were not done in the mandated 10 days
and requires immediate attention.
