Add a Master Task List - Githubissues

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Have a "Master Task" list that isn't in the main task list.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I have many projects that are long term.  Steps are often planned, but I don't 
start work on them for days or weeks.  I like having the main task list just 
for my daily tasks (it's way too overwhelming if I have to look at the whole 
list).  What would be great would be to have a spreadsheet-type interface to 
have all these steps listed that I could flag with project codes (maybe even 
sub-projects), urgency, and estimated pomodoro's.  Then, when I plan my day, I 
move the ones that I can get to over to the main task list.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

1.7 on both Mac and PC

Please provide any additional information below.

Great program otherwise.  Thanks for writing it.

I agree on this point about a master list.
In fact, I only really NEED a space to place a few tasks that I really must do 
tomorrow or the next day - with their ESTIMATED POMODOROS (now, while I am 
thinking about them).

As a short term solution, even incorporating a little notepad would be okay. 
You could have it as a 'tab', to the right of the 'interruption' button. Click 
on the tab and the workspace is taken over by a little pad.

Another thing you could do that would fix another error AND allow an interim 
ability to have a master tasks list (or even just a tomorrow/next day 
pomodoro-estimation list!) is the following:

change the way stats are measured by using DATE MODIFIED instead of date 
CREATED.

Because currently, if I create a task to do tomorrow, it will record it in the 
stats for TODAY. This is like a bug.

However, if you made it so that stats only counted the date MODIFIED, one could 
create a task NOW to do tomorroow, and simply write the estimated pomodoros in 
the TITLE box, instead of the estimate box. This way, the task stays greyed out 
until you start on it. And you can put it at the bottom. Then, when you want to 
start it, you just put in your estimate. Since it's now been modified, it will 
be placed in the stats for THAT day.

Problem solved with one simple step!

(It's not as elegant as a master list, but an easy interim measure!)
