Display time sensitive tasks in pinned lists

Brenna
Marketing @ Morgen

With Morgen tasks, you can set up unlimited task lists and organize them how it makes the most sense to you.

Overdue, Due today, Due tomorrow, and Due soon lists are optionally displayed to highlight time sensitive tasks.

In addition to the task lists you create, Morgen has four additional lists that are pinned to the top of your Morgen task manager by default. Overdue is always visible if you have any past due tasks. You can also choose whether to display tasks that are due today, tomorrow, and soon (within the next 7 days).

These lists are available to be diplayed on each task tab, so if you have a combination of tasks from Morgen, Todoist, and Notion for instance, each tab can be configured differently with these lists. The pinned lists only capture tasks from the specific tab (ex. Morgen tasks). If you want to see all tasks due tomorrow from across your task sources, you can instead use a custom task filter.

Overdue

This might be the list we like to look at least, but it’s a helpful reminder of all tasks for which an assigned due date have passed. If you don’t see an Overdue list pinned to the top of your task panel, congrats! That means you have no past due tasks right now. The list will only appear when it is populated.

Note that we consider tasks to be overdue when the due date has passed. If a task is scheduled in your calendar but not marked as complete, this is not considered it’s due date, but rather scheduled work time. So even if you had a scheduled task yesterday that was not marked as complete, it will not appear in your Overdue list (unless it also had due date assigned that was also in the past).

Optional lists

You can additionally choose whether to display the due today, tomorrow, and soon lists. To display or remove these lists, check them off from the View menu in the task panel. Note that each of these lists, if turned on, will only be displayed when they are populated with a task. For instance, if you have no tasks due today, the Due today list will not appear.

Select which of the time sensitive lists you would like displayed.

1. Today

Your Today list shows tasks due today. Like Overdue, this is based on the task due dates and not when/if they are scheduled to be worked on today. If you change the due date to another day, the task will be removed from the list.

2. Tomorrow

This list shows any tasks due tomorrow. This was recently added to make daily planning for the next day easier, so you can see which tasks are most urgent.

3. Due soon

This list displays tasks due in the next seven days. It will not duplicate tasks from other pinned lists, so if you have the Today and/or Tomorrow lists pinned, will omit those tasks already captured from the Due soon list.

FAQ

Do dates vs. due dates—what's the difference?
A do date is when you plan to work on a task, while a due date is when the task must be completed. By scheduling do dates in your calendar, Morgen helps you carve out time to work on tasks before they become last-minute emergencies, so you stay ahead of deadlines.
How does Morgen help me prioritize urgent vs. important tasks?
In Morgen, you can tag or categorize tasks based on urgency and importance, then use time blocking or its Frames feature to ensure high-impact work gets scheduled when you’re most focused.
How is Morgen different from Todoist?
Morgen combines task management with intelligent calendar scheduling. With Morgen, you don’t just organize tasks, you prioritize the right ones and schedule them. Morgen helps you plan your day by dragging tasks onto your calendar or automatically scheduling them based on your availability, energy levels, and priorities with the AI Planner. It's built for people who want a single tool for managing both time and tasks, not just a to-do list.
Can I sync tasks with my to-do app?
Yes. Morgen lets you sync tasks from your favorite to-do apps, including Todoist, ClickUp, Notion, Obsidian, and more. This means you can view and manage all your tasks and calendar events in one place. Whether you're planning your day or time blocking your week, Morgen ensures your tasks stay connected and up-to-date, no need to switch between multiple apps.
