If you've enabled task projections, you'll notice that your recurring tasks with an approximate start time are now automatically visualized at this time on your calendar.
This is made possible via a new recurring task setting called rigid scheduling.
How are rigid task projections different than regular task projections?
- Rigid projections are not scheduled based on their order in your task list. They are scheduled based on their approximate start time.
- Rigid projections take priority over regular task projections.
- Rigid projections have a '~' next to their start time on the task card.
- Only recurring tasks with approximate start times can be set to rigid.
What if I don't want my recurring tasks to be so rigid?
By default, all recurring tasks with an estimated start time will have rigid scheduling enabled. You can adjust the default setting for all recurring tasks from your timeboxing settings page:
You can also adjust it on a per task series basis by editing the start time:
