No one would ever turn this feature on, but I’d like my productivity system to automatically delete — without warning — to-dos that are older than 30 days, have no status updates, and have no due date.

Every morning, every task is passed through my is this important to complete filter. If there are tasks where I am stuck, my half-move is to spend 30 seconds editing or rewriting the task.

It’s not the tool or tool features (or the fish). It’s entirely me and my ability to have the stamina to follow a reasonable set of habits. Stop blaming your tools for the fact that you’re lazy.
