I think it’s also not the paradigm that people actually experience in practical terms. Given that I am syncing said daily recurring event from Google Calendar, I had the same expectation. A recurring event is shown for all the occasions when it is to be done). This isn’t how Google Calendar (or other calendars) handles it. Yes, I can see this is how Todoist (and probably other todo apps) has architected it. because if you try you will loose a lot of value.

Understand that task management is not based on time line (calendar) but on flow. In this case you have unical tasks and not recurring tasks. On the other side, imagine that you have to write 4 pages of a document and you pretend to write one page on day 1, page 2 on day 2, 3 on 3 and 4 on 4. If you don't go on day 1, you still be able to go on day 2, but if you don't go on Day 2, you will not go again and again, to the academy, on the day 3. If I go on day 1, it is ok, another task will be schedule for day 3. If you don't do the first task, it is delayed and there will not be a next task.Įx: if I want to go to the academy every 2 days and I don't go on Monday, Monday task will be delayed. The reason why reccuring tasks exists on a task management perspective is pretty different from the reason recurring events exists on a calendar app.įor task managers, the next task will not exist if you don't do the first task.
