Is it not fully processed? Maybe...

I can't tell what type of application you are looking for. Contact manager or GTD system?

The generic someday maybe list doesn't appeal to me although I do have a someday incoming to be sorted into a better category.

I like to give my lists names like Places to go, Movies to Watch,...

Oh no, now I have to keep my sink at zero????

How about the dish drainer?

An estimate of when a project is due can be very simple or very complex depending on the size of the project and the number of steps, interactions with other people, etc.

If you are doing weekly...
