GTD enhancement, please allow creating reminders with date only (no time set)

[Andrea Bisiach 16]

Regarding the GDT usability, it would allow marking notes that represent actions to be done on a specific day but not on a specific time. This is also relevant in a non GTD scenario when one simply want a reminder of daily events (like a birthday, anniversary ...etc)

Regarding usability/interface, you could add a "No time" button above "No date" and a "No time" entry above "12:00 AM"

Regarding when triggering the reminder, there could be a "preference" that triggers "No date" reminders at a certain hours if wished. And they could be sent with the daily reminder emails as well

I upvoted the feature request   
The time setting does not have to be so dominant

fwiw   Tecnically, dates are stored in a database field defined as time (the number of seconds elapsed since the start of the Unix epoch at 1 January 1970 00:00:00 UT)

Thanks! I don't know what database system EN uses in the backend but I would guess that the time component could be set to '00:00:00' for this enhancement

I use "created" date to implement GTD's "defer" as described here: https://thesecretweapon.org/

On a computer, there is nothing like a „fuzzy“ time stamp. Even if the time is suppressed, or it just says „next week“, this is GUI fuzziness over an exact time stamp.

Much easier: Just ignore the time.

I suppose you never used a computerized calendar system where you can add anniversaries or all-day events? Outlook, iCal ....😉

What you call GUI fuzziness, is being able to assign a date to a reminder without a time slot ending on the calendar or being reminded at a certain time of the day by the Evernote alarm notification.

I would think that is a very user friendly feature as it is in the above mentioned programs
