Best Way To Run To Do List

[acox]

I want to use Sugar to manage my To Do list.

I started using 'tasks' but i have come to realize that a lot of tasks are more like projects in that they have email trails, conversations, meetings, notes even sub tasks of their own. Therefore, i was thinking about using the Projects module for slightly complex 'tasks' but that still leaves me with the simple ones.

So what i was thinking, was to create a project called 'To Do' and have my simple to do items as project tasks. So that if a simple task required a couple of emails, the history would at least still be there.

The only thing is, is that i cannot see a way of hiding completed tasks from the project task list. So you could quite easily end up with 50+ completed tasks cluttering up the view. I know you can delete them, but that doesn't feel right - what if i need to refer back to the emails for instance?

The other thing with Projects is that there appears to be no way of removing them from the project view either - so if i roll out sugar across my organisation i could quickly end up with hundreds of projects all cluttering up the project view.

Anyway, i was wondering if anyone else used Sugar to run a To Do list or used it for day to day project work and if so, how do YOU do it? And advice or suggestions you can give me?

Many thanks in advance!

Well, I use the tasks for this exact reason.

On my home page, I added a dashlet for my open tasks.
They only show up on the home page if they are not "completed".

I think you can change the query to show completed tasks if you wanted to, but that would defeat the purpose.
