Hi Anne,

This should achieve what you want, but then the archived lists won't appear on your main Tasks screen. It's not ideal, but it may help?!?

T--while that, in theory, works, it also makes it so that the RTM igoogle widget that I use at work to keep on top of my tasks doesn't display my work tasks. So unfortunately, it won't work. Anyone else have any potential solutions?

Why don't you tag your tasks as personal or work, and then build smartlists for each view that you desire, and then refer only to the smartlist that makes sense for the moment?

i do, but i'm thinking of my iphone app--it shows all tasks due that day by default. i know i can go in and view what i need to separately, i just don't want work tasks to show up in my daily list on my iphone app at all.

I have repeatedly suggested that the iPhone app allow one to place smartlists in the toolbar, which would be a great solution for many people's needs, including what you describe.

Maybe if we all cross our fingers, and hold our breath, Bob may code this soon? Maybe...

oh boy, i certainly hope so!

I use a prefix to label my tasks (T is everything for teaching my online course) so that I can quickly see what is what on the iPhone. (I do this in addition to tagging, etc...)
