TO DO - MY DAY - VIEW PREVIOUS DAYS LIST
NEED YOUR HELP - In MY Day I need to be able to go see previous days and move things forward. 2) I want to export my daily to do list Does this TO DO App do these simple, but necessary functions?
LightGlow20 vctorgab Jay_C2040 I've created an open source tool here to do this: https://www.todo.report/
It's a work in progress, but open to PRs.
Thanks, johnnycardy. This is exactly what I was looking for. It should be a standard view.
Not quite what I was after. Isn't there a AUTOMATIC mechanism for something that does NOT get completed today will roll over to MyDay (Tomorrow). This is a very commonsense approach to task management where you have a list of things to do today that do not get done and should automatically be KEPT in MYDAY.
To have to do anything handraulically to make this happen is poor design, introduces points of failure and frankly is less than sensible. Anything that is in MYDAY should stay in MYDAY until completed or removed. It would be very simple to put in a configuration checkbox (KEEP incomplete tasks in MYDAY: YES/NO). I wonder at times if MS personnel actually use their own products.
EDIT:
I just found a better way to do this than using MYDAY. If you use PLANNED it will automatically slot tasks into TODAY when you create them. If you then do not complete the task, it stays in PLANNED, but is marked (in RED) as OVERDUE. You have the option of putting any date in (rather than today) as the due date. Whilst I have many folders including MY DAY, I now just use Planned. This is exactly what I wanted, the ability to automatically (and simply) rollover tasks and know they would not get dropped off a/the list.
Cirrus22 First, big thanks for your idea! It lead me to a new one that I explain here below:
- Have the option "Show 'Due Today' tasks in My Day" set to On
- Select the items in My Day that you want to keep if not done (you can easily select several or all of them by using CTRL or SHIFT, it works like in the File Manager)
- Right click and select 'Due Today'
- The next day, go to "Planned" view. Select all items in the "Earlier" section, right click and select 'Due Today'
--> Your My Day view is up to date.
The advantage vs the Planned view is that you can easily move tasks manually in a specific order in My Day.
HTH 😉
