Hi,

I have been reading with interest Peterw's GTD setup. One of his searches includes:

due date = today or tomorrow or before today and not blank

I am unsure how to search on "today". I can see how to search on the date; can anyone advise?

Thanks

This is the nice thing about ToodleDo Search actually. When the due date pop-up opens up, instead of selecting a date from anywhere, just write 'today' there and press enter. It will always remain 'today' so your 'Due today' search will work.

Thank you, that's great.

So if I want a date prior to today is it just '< today'?

Thanks

I don't know if you can actually write "<today" there, but in the search you can always select 'Due Date' field, 'is before' (from the next dropdown list) and write 'today' in the date field.
There are several other comparison methods for due dates you can use, e.g. I also have a saved search called 'Approaching' which tests for Due Date in the next 5 days, not today, and priority is not negative.
