Not to mention, either of you could be busy on the day the reminder pops up in your todo list. Grandma’s probably not expecting you to call precisely every 30th day. Your neighbors are likely to be none too pleased with your recurring task performance.Ĭalling Grandma is a little more flexible. If you take it out Monday, it will sit at your curb until next Sunday. While both of these examples are recurring tasks, there’s a key difference between them: do they have a deadline? Taking out the trash is a weekly chore with a hard deadline. These can be useful for simple chores like “Take trash out every Sunday”, or long-term personal goals like “Call Grandma every month”.

If you need to get things done on a regular basis, chance are you’ve used recurring tasks in todo apps before.
