So I’ve been using RememberTheMilk for quite a few years, but I’ve been thinking of switching to Todoist partly because of the “Upcoming” view, where I can easily assign tasks to days, which has no equivalent in RememberTheMilk. I haven’t switched yet specifically because of the lack of a “last modified” field as you mentioned. I did think of a work-around, however, that might make it usable for me.
Every time you would like to freshen a task:
- If the description doesn’t contain a line starting “Originally added on…” then copy “Added on” datetime from the More actions drop-down menu.
- Modify the task how you like.
- Duplicate the task.
- Delete the original copy.
Now the “Added on” value actually reflects the last time the task was modified (and you can check the description for the original date).
- Select “Sorted by date added” and “Ascending”.
- The “oldest” / “least-fresh” task will be at the top, ready for you to refresh again.
