![]() ![]() ![]() Then, in my MYN system, I say set a start date on ALL tasks, that way you indicate when you want to do the task (whether due soon or not) and it gives you greater control. Instead, I say set a due date only when there is a true hard deadline. ![]() That’s because doing that leads to a lot of fake deadlines, and then a Cry Wolf phenomenon takes place where you just start ignoring those fake ones, and then ignore all deadlines, and important ones get dropped. But anyone who has studied my materials know I don’t believe in that. One typical way older to-do list systems try to do that is to focus obsessively on setting due dates on all tasks. In my task management materials, I talk a lot about how to get tasks done. If I find that field, I can then stop automatic grouping, start explicitly grouping by that field, and then (I think) sort according to whichever fields I choose.As you know I have written 7 books on task management and email management. One possibility is that the "Automatically group according to arrangement" option is simply grouping by some kind of "date category" field. Doing that will give me a distinct group for each date, and that isn't what I want. How can I retain this grouping while still sorting according to multiple fields?Įxplicitly grouping by the "Due Date" field is not an option. If I instead try to sort by both "Due Date" and (say) "Subject," I lose this nice automatic grouping into date categories. But I find that I can use it only when I sort tasks by a single field (in my case, "Due Date"). ![]() it groups them by the categories "Today," "Tomorrow," "This Week," "Next Week," etc. When I let Outlook "Automatically group according to arrangement," as in this picture. I use Outlook's Task "peek" to organize my to-do list. ![]()
