The easy way to "get" tasks to work, to make them "in progress". Of course, you can use tags or priorities for that, but it's too cumbersome like many other routine things in Rmilk. Rmilk is great because of it's functionality but it lacks simplicity for some routine frequent tasks. One of those is making a plan for today. The easiest way to do so would be to use a star like in Wunderlist. You would have "starred" and "not starred" tasks to quickly see what's in progress right now.
