    <p>With respect to To-Do, I feel like the idea of My Day is a bit more nuanced than was presented in the episode. I see the main To-Do list as being analogous to your email inbox; it's where a task goes unless/until you decide to put it in another folder. My Day is different; it's not a "folder" like the other lists in To-Do, but rather a "view" <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">for just those tasks you want to get done today. </span>All the tasks on My Day actually reside in another list within the app; you hand pick a few things (ideally &lt; 6) you'd like to accomplish today, and those go on My Day. The idea is based on various productivity "life hack" approaches to getting things done…rather than keeping impossibly ambitious lists of things you might like to accomplish <em>someday</em>, these are the things you want to accomplish <em>today</em>.</p><p>I think To-Do is a little clunky in the execution. It would be nice if To-Do (1) automatically promoted/suggested incomplete tasks that are due today for your My Day view and (2) optionally carried incomplete My Day tasks over to the next day's My Day view.</p>
