Reviewing tasks with OnesTodo

Daily Review of tasks

  • In the Todo List page (main page), select Today Favourites List to browse all your pending/uncompleted tasks that you have scheduled for today or before today.
  • If you have completed a task, you can click on the no link next to the task title to mark it as completed.
  • If you need to reschedule a task, click on the task link to edit it and then change its due date. After saving the task, click on the Last search link to return back to your search list.
  • You can select "1 Week" Favourites List to browse all your pending/uncompleted tasks that you have scheduled within a week or before today. (This actually search for Due date<=7d and Done=no. You can adjust the due date search value to search for tasks that will be due by tomorrow for example)
  • Note: Todo list is sorted by default using the due date, priority in descending order, follow by title. The other sorting provided, newest, orders the task list by its creation date in descending order.

Monthly Review of tasks

  • If you use/reserve priority=1 for tasks you may someday want to do (as described in Processing tasks). You can create a Maybe favourites list. First, do a search for priority=1 and Done=no and then assign a name, Maybe for the search. Below the Todo List results table, Click on the Edit link beside the Current Search text, enter Maybe as the name and click on the Save button to create the Maybe favourites list.
  • If you decide you want to do a Maybe task, you can edit the task and schedule its due date and change its priority value to any value from 2 to 9. After saving the task, click on the Last search link to return back to your Maybe list.
  • You can also delete any tasks that you no longer care about by selecting the checkbox next to the task and clicking on the Delete button below to delete the tasks.
