How do GTDers implement a tickler?

The main thing I like about GTD is that I can stop worrying about things until they matter. I don't want to be reminded every time I start the system that I need to call Paul on Wednesday, but I do want it to appear on Wednesday. Is there a way I can do this within Toodledo?

Here are a few strategies to help with this.
1.You can place modifiers on your dates so that they do not show up until a certain date. Here is the help article on it. http://www.toodledo.com/info/help.php?sel=42 2.You can use the "start date" field. Go to account settings and modify the field used section. Check the box for start date. 3. There is a filter that you can used on the To do list page....click on filters and look for the Show/Hide future tasks option. Click to toggle. These three options should work for you. This message was edited Jan 09, 2009. |

Jeremy has a great starting point. I personally use the start date field. But for ticklers to really work, in my opinion, you have to have a place to review them if you need to. This is what I use search for.
I use the "tickler" tag so I simply save a search of: - Tag is tickler AND - Checked off no I use the "tickler" tag because I have "daily review", "weekly review" and "repeat" lists that all have start dates and due dates; consequently, I could not use a simple search for all tasks that have start dates after today. |
