I am with djsdjsdjs on this one. To my mind there is a significant gap in the market between the MS Project project planning tool and something that allows an individual to plan/sketch out their work over the next few weeks to a) put in place reminders to do things and b) get some sense of whet

I recently posted a suggestion for nmemonic bookmarks which got zero support :-( However, what I have started doing is adding a mmenoic to those higher level tasks/projects that I frequently want to jump to prefixing them with a # eg (#times). I can now use the ordinary find to jump to quickl

For clarity, let me explain in more detail what I think the risk is here. I have been involved in many projects big and small, from IT to construction to outsourcing. I have also spent a lot of time in manufacturing planning and scheduling. Project scheduling (which is what you're getting into), e

I like option 3 best Richard. Sometimes you want to leave the Search Box open. If, for example, you're looking for something in Task Notes and you have to select to display but if it's not what you want you need to go back to the filtered Search Box. Other times you know you've got the right task

Hey djsdjsdjs, the T-minus technique you are talking about is actually a pretty popular tool in time management. If you search the Internet on "Backward Planning" you should see a number of references to it. And I would have no problem if Andrey were to add functionality to support such a popula

Forgot to mention that if something like this technique was used you would need to be a little creative with your ToDo views to actually see it. That is why I thought something like this should be incorporated into a broader solution of having a Goal date and Due Date. That way "relative" relatio
