If you have a repeating task that you have not done, it will hang about with date in red as any other task. OverdueĪs last but not least question of overdue repeating tasks arises. All because of the discrepancy in interpretation of re-occurring tasks between the two systems. Per definition, since only the current copy is active, that is the only one you will actually see in your Google.Īlso, if you create a repeating task at the end of your Google, it won’t show in Nozbe as re-occurring. Logic behind how Nozbe and Google treat repeating tasks is different. None of them become manageable until you have completed the current copy and it has been archived. The gray copies are our so-called “ghost tasks.” They are there to help you plan, but they are not actual, physical items on which you can work. Ohh, you may say, but in the calendar I do see future instances as gray tasks. That is because to avoid extensive clutter Nozbe keeps only one active copy of your task and until you complete it, new instance won’t show. Simply, the system will assume you meant today to be the 1st day of the cycle.Īnother question: Why don’t I see instantly all the recurrences? You might also change the repeat option in the task details (note: only the cycles provided in details will be acceptable by the input).Īnd here the first questions appears: What happens if I do not set the date for the task but do put on the repeat? Just type #every week, #every weekday etc.
You can then set the recurrence by using the hash parameter.

Full description thereof can be found at our Help Page. Recurring task in Nozbe is an action that you do repeatedly at regular intervals. Let me walk you through this option in Nozbe and provide a couple of extra hints. I believe it may help you all as well.Recurring tasks seem to be a constant source of confusion to many. The fact that the B won't follow A automatically may be a nausea but it is certainly easier to live with once you apply this simple workaround. No reason for this inconvenience to cripple or hinder your productivity system in any way. ChainsĬhain tasks are definitely on our to-do list, but they may take a longer while to appear. Done with "2" and/or "B" go onto "3" and/or "C" and so on. So, once I am done with the first task, I go on to the one marked with "2" or "B" (alternative can filter in the categories or project view for This is the downside, you do need to keep in mind to go to the original project, or to work from it, while being "on the chain." Working on chains is about the only time when I actually sit with given project open, or enter into it right after I have completed the task with "1" or "A" category. Then, I create set of tasks and give each corresponding letter or number, depending on their position in the sequence. I have not yet had more than two chains at a time in one project, so there was no need to play with those further, but should a need arise I will simply create another set of 1-2-3-4-5-6 and give it different color than the 1st one. 1-2-3-4-5-6 (normally don't go past 6 points but can add new when needed) and A-B-C-D-E-F. Well, I have created two sets of categories. Having been asked about them frequently, and having tried my best to work around that lack, I came up with and idea, that although not ideal, seems to work well. It is true that Nozbe does not have a direct/to-the-point option for them.
To put it in simple terms, chain tasks are a group of consecutive tasks that need to be done in certain order and most often task B, C, D can't be done without having A completed. I like to call them chain tasks, as they act as if they were a silver chain, one following the other. Quite often we come across a very particular set of tasks. « How to learn a foreign language with Nozbe The Podcast - a geeky productivity podcast with Nozbe team members: Michael and Radek » How to workaround lack of chain tasks - Nozbe tip
