Seasonal tasks in RTM

February 2, 2011 2:46 PM

Can any of you Remember the Milk aficionados out there tell me how to create a seasonal task? I.e one that appears in my inbox on a specified day and disappears once completed until the same date next year. Repeat after next September 1?

Wouldn't "9/1 repeat yearly" or "repeat every year" work?

The cool thing about RTM is that it is very language-friendly and recognizes a variety of phrasings, so I usually just keep trying til I get the result.

If you do "repeat yearly" it should repeat every sept.1, "repeat after 1 year" should repeat it a year after you complete it (If you don't get around to it until the 2nd or whatever).

I just tried it and had to type in "yearly" under 'repeats' in the little box on the right side where you can edit a task.

Repeat Yearly on Labor Day: Put Away White Handbag or headmistresses will talk shit on you.
