Task list due or scheduled for today

I’m trying to create a filtered list of tasks that are either due today or “scheduled” for today.

By “scheduled for today,” I mean:

  • tasks that start today
  • multi-day tasks where today falls between the start date and due date
  • tasks that started earlier and are still active today because their due date is in the future.

What I want is a fully separate list showing only the tasks I should work on today. I’m not looking for a setup where tasks get moved into a “Today” section within a larger task list. I find visual noise overwhelming, so even having other sections visible in the same view, including collapsible headers, is more distracting than I’d like. I just want a single clean list showing what tasks I should work on today.

So far, I’ve looked through the filtering options and also tried to see whether Rules could make this work. But as far as I can tell, I can’t find a way to create a view or rule logic that says something like:

  • due date is today, or
  • today falls within the task’s start date and due date range

Am I missing a way to do this?

Hi @martin.andrewjames

As a way to display only today’s tasks:

Example: Show all tasks

{8BCF1FAD-0A26-4DD3-864D-D24E638E27BC}
{8BCF1FAD-0A26-4DD3-864D-D24E638E27BC}1128×620 34.3 KB

Example: Show only today’s tasks

Project > List > Filter > “Due_date is Due_today”

Welcome to the forum @martin.andrewjames ! I shared the following article and My Tasks suggestion some weeks ago. Maybe this approach will be useful to you. Try it and let me know how it goes.
