Tips & Tricks Tuesday: Staying on top of postponed tasks

That little “Postpone” button can be rather tempting at times. RTM user bradlowens shares this tip for keeping postponed tasks in check.

A saved custom search I use in RTM is to search for those tasks that I keep pushing off. I use the search postponed:“> 7” to see any tasks that I’ve been pushing off for a week or more. If they need to be done, I set them as high priority so I get to them right away or if I’ve decided they aren’t important, I just delete them.

This should help you keep from pushing off tasks later and later.
