#MLOuserTip for desktop

How I solved the problem of constantly deferring tasks to the future.

I created a repeating task "Ton of things to do" and linked it to approx. 30 non-urgent tasks. Every day I try to complete at least one of them.

The setup looks like this:

- the repeating task appears every day in To-Do
- in notes it has a link to the folder 'Someday/Maybe', where my non-urgent tasks are stored.
To copy a link to a task, right-click on it > Copy As > As Local Link.
- The folder is hidden in To-Do.

#MLOuserTip How to temporarily put off a recurring task so that its recurrence pattern does not change

For example, there is a task that repeats every Monday. This week you can only do it on Friday, and these five days the task should not hang in To-Do as overdue.

Solution. For a recurring task, set additional options:

- Check 'Disable automatic reset' and 'Automatically recur when any subtask is completed'
- When you need to put off the current occurrence, simply create a subtask with the same name and set its start date to Friday.

As a result, you get the following:

- An overdue task is not visible in To-Do because it has a subtask
- The subtask will appear at the time you need, because its start date has been shifted.
- When a subtask is completed, the parent task will be also completed and shift to the next occurrence.
- The temporary subtask will remain completed and will not interfere with the next occurrence. You can delete it or change the date next time if you again need to temporarily put off a recurring task.
