Tips&Tricks: How to temporarily hide a task in To-Do

Suppose you have ten tasks in To-Do and you decide to put off one of them, for now. You can move the start to a later date, but you think there must be a way to simply hide this task from the list for a while. And here it is:

1. Set a flag for this task, which would mean it is postponed: 

Now it looks logical to set a filter not to show tasks with this flag in this view. But in this case, the task is at risk of being never completed, because it is removed from the list forever (unless you remove the flag).

Therefore, use a trick.

2. In the advanced filter add the rules which read as following:

Do not show tasks with this flag if they have changed in the last 2 days.

 

How it works

You click to set the flag (i.e. you change the task) — and the task disappears from the list. But in 2 days it will appear again and won't let you forget about it!
