Many of my tasks don't actually have deadlines, but if I don't give them a date I end up not following through. Therefore the date I pick is somewhat arbitrary. Instead, I try to smooth my tasks out across the week to make sure that I don't have too many on any particular day. I was thinking that it might be nice if Org could propose a date when I capture a task by looking at how many tasks I have scheduled over the course of the next few days. Has anyone ever tried to do this before? Thanks, Chris --90e6ba6147b8a60c610505b8e9bf Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
