How do you hide tasks until their due date?

It's August and I have a task scheduled for Dec. 19. I don't want to look at that task on my list for four months. Is there a simple way I can hide it until it's due to start?

Hi kalel510,
We don’t have a specific way to hide tasks in your lists themselves, but you can hide them in any of the following ways:

1. You won’t see this task in the Today/Tomorrow/This Week views until the appropriate dates.
2. You can use Smart Lists to hide tasks based on the due date; see our Posted 8 years ago
As andrewski says you should use a Smart List.

I've been using RTM for years and rarely look at my actual lists. Throughout the day I am only looking at Smart Lists based on specific criteria.

3. You can add start dates to your tasks and hide them until they start.
4. You can combine #2 and #3. Yay Smart Lists! :)

Let us know if we can help with any of those, or with anything else!
