Best way to handle

dodi says:
Whats the best way to handle "never-ending" tasks i want to be reminded on my todays task list?

Like.. learning for school.. or continoue something...

Complete and repeat them every day?
Postpone them every day?
Just keep them overdue?

Does anyone got a better idea?

Thanks :)

I tend to use repeating tasks if I need to be hassled continually about something -- they build up if you don't complete them, but at least it's easy to search for them with 'dueBefore:today' and complete all the overdue tasks :)

Thanks emily, nice idea :-)

What about tagging them with something and then delete the overdue ones automatically (via cronjob) every x days? mhhh... cronjobs for rtm?

That would require enhanced "search" features which can be saved and ran by cronjobs...

DELETE FROM tasks WHERE due<today AND tag LIKE %deletemetag%

mhhhmm :-)


Don't take this serious ;-)

Hehe... well I don't know about cronjobs, but auto-completing tasks are an interesting idea :)
