Tag your ToDo items with their due date in the format yyyy-mm-dd, e.g. 2009-09-18, and get them ordered by due date in the Tag Sidebar.

Re: [Goodie?] Use Date as Tag
Hi Nod
That's such a good idea - I've been experimenting with using Autohotkey to automatically generate the date tags for me.
So, for something I need to do in a week's time, I just type d7 and Autohotkey creates the tag for me. The code is
I've set up ranges of date periods; for a week, 10 days time etc as well as one for today's date. It doesn't cover every eventuality but still saves me a lot of typing.
Cheers,
Mick

EnvAdd, CurrentDateTime7, +7, days
FormatTime, CurrentDateTime7,%CurrentDateTime7%, yyyy-MM-dd
SendInput %CurrentDateTime7%

Re: [Goodie?] Use Date as Tag
PinnacleWebDesign -Thanks.
I use ShortKeys, http://www.shortkeys.com/, to generate my dates.
For example, I have entries set up to generate today's date in various formats
- 29/09/2009
- Tue 29 Sep 2009
- 2009-09-29
Like the +7 etc idea. I'll use that in ShortKeys.
