If a job is a “Due” job, you can assign a very low priority now, but another (usually Top priority) achieved by a certain date. The second priority is called the End Priority. The Virtual Priority will increase at a constant rate until that date is reached. Starting on the given date, the Virtual Priority will remain at the End Priority. Many people consider this the most accurate representation of the “importance of events.” It is common to choose beginning priority 3 and Ending Priority of Top priority and choose a date far in the future. This is one reason computerized time management is convenient; the program will not bother you about it now, it catches your attention progressively, and if you really have not done it by next month (or whatever) it will insist on pronouncing its “importance” by exclaiming a 9 or Top priority. Due jobs appear on the appropriate day in Schedule views at the bottom. (see “Viewing and printing your schedule”)
