Absolutely true - but then, what is the point of the 'My Day' section?
- CoffeelingSep 01, 2023Copper ContributorMy Day's point is to be an intentional list that you curate yourself, not something that gets populated automatically. The thought is that we often have too many tasks, so the idea is that to have a handpicked list that's small enough to be achievable and feels like you can make progress against.
At least for me, I can add stuff in bulk from Planned to My Day - just right click a bucket's title (in your case, Earlier) and it has an "Add tasks to My Day" button.
Also, My Day's Suggestions panel (press the lightbulb at the top) shows you overdue tasks which are easy to add to My Day.
