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?
