I leave a lot of tasks undone (I’m too busy) and when I open the GoodTask app it always starts at the top of a long list of overdue tasks — instead of tasks with today’s date. This creates the need for several seconds of swiping-scrolling down to find today’s tasks (and I always pass them and have to hunt back and forth).

Is there anyway that the app can open up displaying today’s tasks?

Note that I have my sort set to “Due Date \> Manual Sort”. This puts “overdue” items at the top, with the oldest due dates first, then continuing to reminders for today, then the following dates.

One way would be to simply have 2 smart lists, one for overdue tasks and one for today's tasks.

Hi @Itsaplane, thanks for the feedback.

What @BoEast suggested can be one way. Other way could be,

- Setting option - Settings - General - Overdue tasks on : Due date. This will put overdue tasks on its due date and Day view will not include them.

Simply using multiple smart lists with different filters such as Scheduled : Today would be an easier route though. Thanks!
