Hello,
As I understand, only tasks that are time/day specific goes to my Calendar.
But some time you have a task that should be completed with deadline to specific future date but can be done as soon as possible:
- You can't put it on that future date on your calendar because it might take more than one day to complete, and also if it takes only 30 minutes work, you better do it some days before so you don't wait for the last day then you have more pressure (maybe this day is very busy one and so on).
- You also cannot put in under action list, because the deadline can passed and you didn't notice that you have to complete the task until that day.
I had an idea for solution to make the action list supports deadlines, so if you looking on actions to do right now when you at your office, actions with deadline will be shown at top, so you can be more focus dealing with them first.
1. What is the best practice to my question?
Now, more complex question with same problem issue. In case you have a project of 5 steps to be done, and you have a dead line to the project. how do you manage the first next action of the project? if you write on the task level the deadline of the project itself (as the solution I suggest on the first question), you might do it on the last day, then surprised that you have 4 more tasks to complete (because the project is 5 steps to complete)! And if you don't put deadline on the task, it might go beyond the deadline.
2. What is the best practice to my second question?
Thanks,
Avictory
