Start date recurrence seems to me to be the number one thing that would make using any digital planner fit GTD better, but I've never found one that handles it well. MLO is the best at it, IMO, but it's still clunky and annoying.
If you want a task that recurs by start date in MLO, you set the recurrence to any period you like, then set the lead time to an equal amount of time, minus the time you actually want for the recurrence. So a monthly recurring task might be set to recur every 60 months, with a 59 month lead time. Or every 2 months with a one month lead time. I would prefer not to have a due date at all on these tasks, but this method works for me. With so many people asking for start date recurrence and so few offerings delivering it (zero?), it seems to me it must be a difficult thing to accomplish from the programming side. At first glance it doesn't seem problematic to me, but I figure I must be missing something. - Trevor. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
