Show all dues of today now

Hi Ernie,
in your great app you offer the function "Postpone Due Until" in the sub menu of the spaced repetition settings. This option might be useful for many students.
I would appreciate having the opposite - being able to do my "homework of the day" all at once.
I prefer doing my job once a day and to avoid an overload on the next day I want to be sure everything of this day is done - no matter what time of the day I work.
I use to change the time setting of my iPad to trick your app - but this "workaround" is not really an elegant solution because it confuses my other apps (calendar, task lists etc.). To summarize it: A further button ("All Dues of Today Now") would be a wonderful enhancement for me (and probably for some other addicts of your app).
Kind regards from Thailand ;-)

The "postpose due until" works ok but has a small issue. I was planning on doing the opposite, moving things forward. I think this is what you are going after. I need to tackle this one of these days.

Hi Ernie,
thank you for your fast response. I am not sure I expressed my request clearly and unambiguously.
I simply would like to have the option to do all my "dues" of the day in one and the same session - even when it is early morning.
With other words: This option should make the app ignoring the exact time of all dues so that only the respective day is the criterion to select the "dues" of the session. When I check the statistics by "Due Date" your app shows already what I have to learn that respective day - and that is exactly what I want to learn in my session - independent of the time doing my session.
The reason for my request: Usually I do my repetitions in the early morning. But when some event forces me to make my session in the evening (instead of the morning) I am overloaded by too many "dues" then. So I would appreciate it finding the same amount of "dues" - no matter what time of the day I start my session.
If I am still not clear and unambiguous I must apologize and start using your wonderful app to polish up my english first instead of wasting my time on studying southeast-asian languages. :roll:
Kind regards

Ha ha, you crack me up. It's cool you posted that your in Thailand. It's fun to see where people are.

I think we are talking about the same thing. Again, I don't really want to add another setting, but I think if you use my current option with a "12am" setting and I change it to move things forward, then we get to the same answer. Maybe the time thing is making it more complicated than it needs to be and I just make it more like you said... same day = due now.

I'm not thinking this completely through right now and won't until I dig back into this at some point (probably in a month or so). You might want to subscribe to this topic if you aren't already, so that I can run ideas off you if needed when I get to this.
