Hi everybody,
First, I want to thank both Ms. Macrae and Mr. Landikov for maintaining the task plugin. As an adult with ADHD, it has helped me a lot. I have been using it for about two months and helps me keep on top of things better than anything else I have tried (including the Bullet Journal Method)
Second, I feel this question is a bit elementary, but I have tried figuring out the answer by myself or searching for a solution in the forum, and I cannot find it. If this has been answered before, I would appreciate to be guided to the appropriate post.
So, this is the thing: I have a master task list and a capture method implemented from this video by Mike Schmitz, and have a few queries on my daily note (I use the journal plugin instead of daily notes). I have set recurring tasks for what I imagine is the usual: birthdays, bills, household shores, and, for me the most important: routine items. For example, I have a “Shutdown routine” to perform in the last twenty minutes of my work day: Last check of inbox, upload working files to the cloud, update my project logs, etc. I took the week of the 21 to the 25 off. On the 28th when I returned, I noticed that the item would not disappeared (my queries are for tasks that are not done) when I checked them. I went to the master task list and saw that when I checked, it checked the task for the 21st (nothing wrong, it got created the Friday before I took off, so it makes sense), but created the new task for the 22nd, even though, that date was already in the past.
I figured there should be some setting that would allow me to indicate that new recurring tasks should be populated for future dates only, so, that when I checked the task on the 28th (even if it was due on the 21st), the next recurring task created would be the 29th, not the 22nd. But I searched the plugin settings and did not find a thing. Is it possible to do what I want automatically?
Thanks.
