This week, next week and so on

mamona says:
I'd like to have 4 smart lists:

This week (My calendar starts on Mondays)
---------------
dueBefore:"1 week of Monday" AND status:incomplete


Next Week (not included present week)
---------------
dueWithin:"1 week of Monday" AND status:incomplete
I don't know why, but it works...


Next 2 weeks
------------------
dueWithin:"1 week of next Monday" AND status:incomplete


Next 3 weeks
------------------
dueWithin:"3 weeks" NOT dueWithin:"2 weeks" AND status:incomplete


This Month
---------------
dueWithin:"1 month of 1st"

1. Correct me please if I am wrong. I am still new in RTM.
2. What is the difference between dueBefore and dueWithin?

Thank you :)

With dueBefore you also get overdue tasks.

Also, there's no need to add status:incomplete, RTM adds that part invisibly.

As for Monday above, RTM understands this as next Monday, April 14 presently.

It looks to me like you would have to create a new smart list for each new week, and everytime a week ends, you would need to create 4 new smart lists. That is my analysis after looking at the advanced search options for about 3 minutes. I may have missed an obvious solution. I wonder if there have been any new advanced search options added to the search language that have not yet been added to the list of advanced options? I have only been using RTM for less than a month, so I am still a "newbie" myself.

The smart lists would move all by themselves as the weeks pass by. No need to create new lists.

However, you could let the lists call upon their siblings:
ThisWeek: dueBefore:Monday (includes overdue)
NextWeek: dueBefore:"1 week of Monday" AND NOT list:ThisWeek
2ndWeek: dueBefore:"2 weeks of Monday" AND NOT list:NextWeek
etc...
