Give every overdue task a decision
An overdue date says that a Todoist task slipped. It does not say whether the task still matters, who owns it, or what has blocked it. An agent can review a defined project or label, group related tasks, and prepare a disposition for each one: complete, delegate, clarify, reschedule once, or remove.
Set the review date and supply the rules behind priority. Include commitments, dependencies, effort estimates, and any projects that must remain out of scope. The agent should preserve comments and task links as evidence. It should not infer urgency from the age of a task alone or turn every old date into tomorrow’s problem.
Reserve time only for accepted priorities
Todoist records work, due dates, labels, and priorities. Google Calendar records fixed commitments and usable work windows. A combined agent can take the accepted recovery list and propose realistic focus blocks, splitting long tasks only when the work allows it.
Calendar events and Todoist changes remain drafts. The owner first approves which tasks survive the review, then approves where those tasks fit in the week.
