I want the "pay rent > soon" todo show up inmy todo list a few days before rent is due. I have Entourage do this type of task on a regular basis. When I log in, a message will appear telling me that I should prepare myself for a task that I had scheduled for one or two days hence (or a birthday, anniversary, board meeting, date, etc.) If I understand your needs here, it should be quite simple.
