Overdue Honesty

Didi looks at everything overdue at once and proposes reschedule, delegate, delete, or keep for each one. 2 To-Dids for the whole session.

By Updated

One pass over your whole overdue pile, proposing one action per task: reschedule with a real new date, delegate to a specific teammate, delete because it is not going to happen, or keep as is.

You approve them individually. Nothing changes until you do.

Worth doing when the overdue count has stopped being a number you read and started being one you avoid.

  1. Start Overdue Honesty from Today.

    It reads everything overdue at once rather than task by task, which is why the price does not scale with how far behind you are.

  2. Read what it proposes for each task.

    One of reschedule with a real date, delegate to a named teammate, delete, or keep. The proposal is an opinion, not a decision.

  3. Approve the ones you agree with.

    Individually. Nothing changes until you say so, including the deletions, which is the whole reason this is safe to run on a pile you have been avoiding.

It is a single batched call, so the price is flat regardless of whether you have six overdue tasks or two hundred. Per-task pricing would have made the feature most expensive exactly when someone needs it most, which is the wrong incentive to build into a product.

Because the honest answer for a lot of long-overdue tasks is that they are never getting done, and a list that will not let you say so is a list you eventually stop opening.
