Recurring tasks question

mystwillow says:
Just a quick question about recurring tasks: if I set a task to repeat every month, as soon as I complete it for this month, is it going to go right back in as a new task with a due date long in the future, or will RTM wait and send it to me a week or so before it comes due again? The latter would certainly be preferable, as I'm not too keen on having some tasks that never leave my lists and just clutter things up when they're not due for another month or even year. Also, if I set a task to repeat every 1 day, if I don't do it one day, will it duplicate the task the next day or just mark the original task overdue? I don't want to have several copies of the same task in my list if I happen to not check my lists for a few days. Any info would be appreciated.

If you use Smart lists to view your tasks you can filter any way you want. Try (due:never or dueWithin:"1 week of today") as search criteria.

As for repeats you may miss, try "after" instead of "every" in the repeat info.
