Create a To Do List for Tomorrow/Plan My Day the day before
You plan your next day of to dos and it would be helpful to create the to do list for tomorrow at the end of the business day
6,688 votesWhile we aren’t creating a My Day version that you can plan the night before at the moment, we have made significant updates to our Planned list.
Rolling out now on Android (version 2.17), and coming soon to other platforms, you can now view a distinct tomorrow view in the Planned list. You can also group the view by lists so that you have a view of all the different projects the tasks from. You can choose to close list sections so that you only concentrate on one list section at a time.

Natural language support
When entering to-do's you should be able to enter the item with natural language such as "Meeting with John today at 3pm" or any number of a wide range of ways. The app would know that it needs to be done today at 3pm. Other shortcuts should be supported including the reoccurring items such as "the second Monday of each month".
Natural language is faster to enter items vs selecting each field. After you enter the task with natural language there should be some visual que that tells you the system has recognized the item such as date, time, list,…

Due Again/Repeat After Completion
Add ability to make new "Due Again" x number of days (weeks) after current To-Do is completed.
For example, you make a reminder to trim your dogs nails every two weeks. When due, you're out of town and don't complete the to-do till the following weekend.
When the current late to-do is marked complete, it would be nice to have a new to-do scheduled for the same interval.
