This program adds two major functionalities to Todoist to help automate your workflow:
1) Assign automatic `@next_action` labels for a more GTD-like workflow
2) Enable re-use of subtasks in lists with a recurring date
2) Enable regeneration of sub-tasks in lists with a recurring date
3) Postpone the end-of-day time to after midnight to finish your daily recurring tasks
If this tool helped you out, I would really appreciate your support by providing me with some coffee!

Projects and parentless tasks can be tagged independently from each other to create the required functionality. If this tag is not defined, it will not activate this functionality. The result will be a clear, current and comprehensive list of next actions without the need for further thought.
Make sure the label ```next_action``` exists in your Todoist before running the program. The default label can be changed, see the example given at [additional arguments](#additional-arguments). Todoist Premium is required in order to use labels and to make this functionality possible.

# Recurring lists
The program looks for all parentless tasks with a recurring date. If they contain sub-tasks, they will be restored in the same order when the parentless task is checked. Todoist Premium is not required for this functionality.

# Postpone the end-of-day
You have a daily recurring task, but you're up working late and now it's past midnight. Todoist will automatically mark it overdue and when you check it, it moved to tomorrow. After a good nights rest you can't complete the task that day!
By setting an alternative time for the end-of-day you can now finish your work after midnight and the new date will automatically be corrected for you. Todoist Premium is not required for this functionality.
