How-to manage my tasks?
February 3, 2010 | 11 Comments
First you need a Get It Done account: http://getitdoneapp.com
There are 3 ways to add tasks in Get It Done.
1. When you are in http://getitdoneapp.com, just type in the “Quick Add” field at the top right corner of the window. When you’re done typing, just press “enter” or “return” key and it will get added for you. If you are already in a particular tag, then the to-do will get added with this tag. This is a great way to clear your head of all your tasks very quickly and easily.
Quick Add Task
2. Alternatively, you can click the “Add New Todo” button at the bottom left of your window. This will give you more options like tags, attach files, due date, and more.
Add Task Dialog
3. The third way, and my favorite, is to email to-dos to Get It Done. If you go into your settings link located at the top right of your window, you will see your unique @GetItDoneApp.com email address. I suggest you put this in your address book so that any time you get an email which will require your attention, you can just forward the message to your unique GID email address and we automatically add the task for you!

How do I delete a task? The Delete key does not appear to work, and checking completed is definitely NOT the same as Deleted. Thanks.

Completed Items should be where you put any task that you do not need anymore. To empty the completed Items folder click on the ‘erase now’ link under your settings.
We have been getting many requests for deleting single tasks, we will consider adding this in a future version.

HI,
I bought the Iphone app and I would like to know if you plan to have the “people” section added soon ?
Thanks.

People and Scheduled items will be in the next big release of the iPhone app. We do not have a definite date yet but we are working on it.

How do I search tasks by tag?
Mike 'Get It Done' Staff 9 Mar 2010
You can filter by tag by just clicking on any of the tags on the top of the screen. If you want to be able to list all of the tasks that have a particular tag you will need to set up a project and add that tag to the project, this will list all your tasks that have that tag.
The find category just searches the title and/or the notes

Hi
Are there any plans for subtasks – so that tasks can be broken down into actions – or is that the definition of a project.
Mike 'Get It Done' Staff 22 Mar 2010
Currently I use projects when I want subtasks. We are toying with the idea of using milestones to further break down projects which will act very much like sub tasks

Hi Mike,
When creating repeating tasks you are able to tick the checkbox “Each copy has a due date. It is created 1 days before it is due” which in the instance of a daily repeating task, labels it as being “due today”.
However, currently with repeating tasks, on the day that it is set to repeat the task automatically appears in the inbox.
Would it be possible to instead have repeating tasks treated like the scheduled ones so that on the day they are due, they appear in Today? Or when setting up repeating tasks, to have another checkbox that gives you the choice of having them automatically appear under Today?
This is where I would expect to find tasks when set to repeat on set dates and would be so much more helpful…
