Waiting work needs a named dependency and a date when you will look again.

    Add waiting fields

    Use a Waiting status, waiting-on text or person, and follow-up date.

  2. 02

    Create the filtered view

    Show open waiting items sorted by follow-up date.

  3. 03

    Review twice weekly

    Chase, reschedule, resolve or return tasks to active status.

Before you decide

Is the due date the follow-up date?

Not necessarily; keep the actual commitment date separate from when you plan to chase.
