dates in the balance portion of Life Balance

Hi Donette,

I'm going to give a horrible non-answer, I think. I'm just getting back on the Life Balance bandwagon after having been off for a while (life went from complicated -> simple -> complicated again), so my Life Balance skills are rusty.

If I understand your question correctly, you want a listing of to-dos - but exclusively those with a due date, and you want them in chronological order.

What you're asking for is a little contrary to the operating philosophy of LB; if you've been assigning reasonable time/frequency information to each item, the resulting to-do list should reflect the order in which you should be tackling things. Due dates play a role in that calculation.

That said, you could try this trick:
Go to outline view.
Set all your items with due dates to a notification period that makes them show up now (5 years, for example - even if it's due tomorrow, tell LB you wanted to know five years ago).
Next, set each of the top-level items to have a due date to sometime in the distant future, like 2020, and with a notification time of a few hours. All non-calendar and non-due date items will automatically inherit your distant goal date and notification.
Go to the to-do list, and you should have the list you were asking for.
If you are using calendar entries as well, set the notification period for the calendar entries as appropriate if you want them to appear/not appear.
