I'm a consultant with multiple clients, and I use a modified Getting Things Done (GTD) routine with Sandy to manage a busy and complex web of obligations. Ideally, I'd like to see the following on my Daily Digest, more or less in this order:
1. calendar items for today (such as appointments)
2. dated @todo items with dates coming up soon (e.g., next 7 days). These are, in essence, todo items that I've brought onto the front burner and made active by scheduling them for an upcoming day.
3. all @todo items for each of my Projects (example: @client1, @client2, @home, @family). To accomplish this, I habitually tag every todo item with both @todo and a Project tag like @client1, and I customized my Daily Digest to include sections for @client1, @client2, @home, @family, etc. at the top.
4. items (non-todos) in various fixed categories I like to look over every day, like my list of things to @read, things to @buy, etc.
5. all remaining @todo items -- these should all be duplicates of items in 3, but I scan them each day to make sure I didn't forget to tag any new todos yesterday with a Project, then I throw away these last page(s) of my printed Daily Digest
I can hack all this together in a more or less acceptable fashion using the existing Daily Digest functionality -- *except* for item 2. The dated @todos are buried in the other categories lower down (they don't even float to the top of their own categories, above the undated ones). Could you implement a way to somehow call out dated @todos so they floated to the top (near the calendar items), or were otherwise more visible?
The hack is for me to manually tag every dated @todo with an additional tag like @dated. But that feels like a less than ideal solution.
