Scheduling a task to be added

marleigh says:
Hey, I've been having a terrible time trying to figure out how to schedule a task to be added later. For example, I need to take the trash out every Sunday. If I use the repeat function, it just adds the task immediately when I complete it. That's just clutter for me. Telling me on Monday that I need to take the trash out Sunday is not helpful. I want the task to appear on my list on Sunday, due that day.

Am I missing something, or is that feature not there?

Tempted to research cron jobs to add tasks by e-mail. Maybe some sort of automatic e-mail service that gives you control over the subject line...

Sleeper tags would be worthwhile if you want to see it before Sunday, or even more simply you could build due:today or similar into a Smart List.
