Please separate Today and Overdue button at the top
Guy Mannerings
Please can you separate out Today and Overdue Tasks in to two separate buttons?
I really don't want to see a count of how many overdue things I have when I just want to see how many things I have today.
Seeing a count of all the overdue things makes me not want to click "today". It becomes overwhelming. Whereas a "today" button by itself with it as own count is not.
Also, if I hit "overdue", I want it to go straight to the overdue list, not the "today" list like it does right now.

Guy Hi! Now that you've been using it for longer, do you still like this needs to be separated?
Would a button to bulk reschedule your overdue items to Today or due later help?

Joey Hey Joey,
Thanks for checking in.
Yes, it's definitely still a problem.
The purpose of "Today" is to know what is happening today/what needs to happen today.
Seeing everything that is Overdue as well makes things overwhelming to use.
Similarly, like I say, removing the Overdue button and it jumping to Today instead of Overdue is also a problem.
The separation of the two is paramount. Today does not equal Overdue, and Overdue does not equal today.
Re: bulk reschedule.
This by itself is not a fix to this problem. It's a just an unrelated feature. I don't simply want to move everything Overdue to Today. I MIGHT want to pull SOME things to today, but definitely not all of them, and I want it to be manual.
If I could select some and move them in bulk to Today, sure, that could be a useful feature (although I am way more likely to do that on desktop).
But it still does not fix this problem, which is simply that it's too overwhelming and cluttered right now. Today and Overdue should fundamentally be separate, because they are two fundamentally different things.
It should be:-
- Today button shows Today items and takes you to a Today screen.
- Overdue button shows Overdue items and takes you to Overdue items.
