Someday

The Someday view shows assigned tasks and ideas that do not have a specific deadline but you want to remember.

What is Someday?

Someday is for:

• Ideas - Things you might want to do
• Maybe tasks - Items you're not sure about yet
• Long-term goals - Things without specific timelines
• Low-priority items - Tasks that can wait indefinitely
• Reference tasks - Things to keep in mind

Important: Someday Tasks and Scheduling

Someday tasks cannot have dates or reminders. When you mark a task as "Someday":

• ✅ All due dates are automatically cleared
• ✅ All start dates are automatically cleared
• ✅ All reminders are automatically removed
• ✅ All recurrence patterns are cleared

This ensures Someday tasks remain truly unscheduled. When you're ready to work on a Someday task, you can promote it by setting a due date, which will move it to Today or Upcoming.

When to Use Someday

Add tasks to Someday when:

• You have an idea but no immediate plan
• It's not urgent or important right now
• You want to remember something for later
• You're not sure when (or if) you'll do it
• It's a nice-to-have, not a must-have

Using Someday Effectively

Periodic Review

Review your Someday list regularly:

• Weekly - Quick scan for anything that's now relevant
• Monthly - Deeper review, delete stale items
• Quarterly - Major cleanup, promote important items

Promoting Tasks

When a Someday task becomes relevant:

1. Set a due date - Moves to Today or Upcoming
2. Add to a project - Gives it context
3. Increase priority - Mark as important
4. Add details - Flesh out the idea

Cleaning Up

Keep Someday manageable:

• Delete old ideas - If it's been 6 months, you probably won't do it
• Archive completed - Mark as done if you did it elsewhere
• Combine similar items - Merge duplicate ideas
• Convert to notes - Some items are reference, not tasks
