Task Aging Enabled vs Disabled

In this guide, we’ll walk you through Task Aging, a setting that determines whether incomplete tasks carry over as “Past Due” (Enabled) or reset daily with a fresh start (Disabled). By the end, you’ll understand when to enable aging for critical tasks that must be completed and when to disable it for time-sensitive tasks that don’t need to carry over.

What it is	Incomplete tasks carry over and become “Past Due.”	Incomplete tasks reset daily, marked “Missed,” but do not carry over.
How it works	At midnight, unfinished tasks roll forward with a “Past Due” label until completed.	At midnight, unfinished tasks are logged as “Missed,” and a fresh new list generates.
Mindset	“Important work doesn’t vanish until it’s done.”	“Every day is a fresh start.”
Car wash example	Prime tire shine pump — if not done Monday, it carries into Tuesday until complete.	Turn off lobby lights — if missed Monday, a new task generates Tuesday night.
Everyday example	Paying the electric bill — overdue until paid.	Taking out trash on Tuesday night — if you miss it, you wait for next week.
When to use	For critical, high-accountability tasks that must be done.	For low-criticality or time-sensitive tasks where it doesn’t matter after the period ends.
Pros	Ensures accountability, prevents overlooked critical work.	Prevents snowballing task lists, keeps focus on current day.
Cons	Risk of overwhelming users if tasks pile up.	Important tasks may get lost if missed.
