Creating a 'Today' view similar to Todoist or Microsoft To Do

[Hammy Havoc]

Hi all!

It's the MLO noob again. :- )

Is it possible to create a 'Today' view that's similar to Todoist or Microsoft To Do?

Ideally, this would solely include 'next' actions, e.g. what's now actionable, overdue tasks from previous days, tasks starting and due today too.

Hammy,

Yes, you can do that. I have a custom view for my “Today” view. I have filters for Due today, start today, and starred so I can see the recurring things that I have to get done (Due), things that I could do (start today) and things I specified I want/plan to do (Starred). 

I have another view I call “Weekly Compass” that show all the tasks with the weekly goal attribute selected. This is the list of things I want to focus on that week. I then Star the tasks I plan to do that day along with the recurring tasks that show up from my today filters. If I complete everything on my Today view, I move to the weekly compass view and tackle other tasks.

I update the compass view as part of my weekly review.

Hope this helps.

Leigh

In Microsoft ToDo, you assign tasks for "today" by dragging them into the today view. You could do something similar (but not the same) by assigning a flag, called "today" to the tasks you select. The difference is that they will stay flagged - the today view won't reset at the start of the next day.
