Tasks in folders that are not completed lose focus. All my tasks are in folders to categorize them. Whether I flag the task as "My Day" or not, the next day the task is not in "My Day" or in "Planned" views. I suggest that the tasks stay in these views showing as "Overdue". Or is there something I should be doing differently?

THIS is my exact issue. I'm trying to use this for our team and for those who may not be able to understand or want to know anymore than wants on "My Day", it is very frustrating that a task that is past due will disappear from the My Day list. This makes no sense... Something like this is making me consider switching to a different task program. I feel like this should be a simple fix.Joan Lawson

Joan Lawson Easy fix for this: use the list "Planned" instead of "My Day". This will show overdue tasks, tasks for today, and you can scroll down to see future tasks as well.

My 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.

Joan Lawson- Did you ever receive a solution for this? I'm a new user of To-Do and just ran into this. Googling now and ran across this. It's frustrating to say the least that an overdue task just "disappears" from the Today and Planned SmartLists. 😞

hello, i am currently having this problem too. did you find a solution for this?

Strangely enough, the tasks appear correctly in the To-Do section of Microsoft Outlook and the iPhone mobile app, even the macOS app; the issue seems to be only with the Windows To-Do app. Just doesn't show tasks for today and overdue ones.

I guess it is still an open issue for Microsoft To Do. That is why the reason why i didnt feel certain to use it.
