Hey all,
I'm sure there are many apps that could do what I want but they all seem to focus on adding tasks to a list manually in their advertising rather than regular tasks or are all about team work, group organisation etc. I've tried things like the Reminders app before but it just ends up out of date and lost.
My work flow is based on having to do certain things by certain days. Longer term projects without fixed deadlines aren't the issue and I don't really want to muddle any task list with things like that. I just want a list of things I *need* to get done on particular days. For example, I have a few things that I *have* to do on the first day of the week (usually Monday but if Monday is a bank holiday then it would move to Tuesday), I have things that have to be done once every fourth Wednesday, every second Thursday, every first working day of the week etc. These are all things that I *have* to do but right now I'm using a combination of repeating calendar events in Outlook and my memory, which is flakey at best. A lot of the tasks are short and simple but that can make them easier for me to forget, i.e. I have to update two numbers in a spreadsheet and email them every Monday but now I also have to update two numbers in another spreadsheet and save it to file. I basically want a small check list of things due today that will auto populate based on their schedule and I can check them off.
Any suggestions?
