I can only put it this way... The Focus List is next to useless.  It
merely "filters out" items by due date or priority-- or both of these
at the same time.  What is missing is a way to "flag" tasks to appear
in the Focus List.

If a person has a long task list and needs to focus on the tasks at
hand, one needs to know which items are due and due soon (which the
current Focus List can do) AND needs to be able to narrow down which
tasks will be worked on for the day (such as flagging the tasks) ..
thus a Focus List.

Currently, the Focus List can be...

... filtered by Priority also but that eliminates items appearing by
due date.  (That is totally useless! )

... filtered by Priority AND Due Date  (That would eliminate a lot of
tasks if you didn't go through each one and change two settings-- the
prioirty and the due date--  on every task you wanted to Focus on that
day!)

... filtered by Due Date  (which means if you have a task you want to
appear in the Focus list you need to go through each task you wish to
focus on, and change the due date to some current date-- whether or
not the task is due on that date or not!)

Yes, this is something that can be worked around but it really could
be much better and much simpler.

I think the best scenario for a Focus List would not filter items out,
but rather display items that meet a certain criteria.  For simplicity
it would display items Due Today and/or in the next couple of days AND
would display items Flagged to be in the Focus List.  It should also
be easy to flag the items, not opening them up and going through
several selections i.e. tags, dates and priorities.

Thanks!

ps  I enjoy the app and use it  daily.   Syncing w/ Toodledo has been
great and the Note Book app works well right along with ToDo.  I
really like the Time Stamp and Date Stamp feature on the Notebook
also...  Good work on both!
