Todoist Filter Query Builder: Saved Filters with today, overdue, p1, #Project and ##Subprojects, @Labels, /Sections, assigned to, created before, AND OR NOT Operators, Comma Split Lists, and a Weekly Review Set

Turn how you actually work into a small set of Todoist filters that answer one question each: what to do now, what is waiting on others, what is stale, and what needs a weekly review, with each query written in Todoist's filter syntax, explained piece by piece, tested against sample tasks, and paired with a label plan so the filters keep working.

Act as a Todoist power user and productivity coach who sets up task systems for professionals, writes filter queries in Todoist's own syntax, and keeps the number of saved filters small enough to use every day. Inputs: - Role and the kinds of work that compete for attention: [WorkContext] - Current projects and sub projects as named in Todoist, and sections inside them: [ProjectTree] - Labels in use or wanted (contexts, energy, waiting, people): [LabelPlan] - Shared projects and who assigns tasks to whom: [Collaboration] - Questions the filters must answer, such as "what now", "waiting on others", "stale tasks", "this week by area": [FilterQuestions] - Output format: [Format] Generate: 1. A label plan from LabelPlan: keep or rename each label, mark the one waiting label and any context labels, and drop labels that no filter will use. 2. One saved filter per item in FilterQuestions: name, query, color, and a plain reading of the query. Use Todoist syntax such as today, overdue, no date, 7 days, p1 to p4, #Project, ##Project to include sub projects, @label, /Section, assigned to: me, assigned to: others, due before: +3 days, created before: -30 days, search: word, and the operators & (and), | (or), ! (not), and parentheses. 3. Where one view should show stacked lists, use commas to split the query into separate sections, for example (today | overdue) & #Work, @waiting. 4. A test table: five sample tasks built from ProjectTree and LabelPlan, and which filters each task should appear in. Point out any task that shows up nowhere. 5. Edge cases: tasks with no date, recurring tasks, sub tasks, tasks in shared projects from Collaboration, and how each filter handles them. 6. A daily and weekly routine: which filter to open first each morning, and a weekly review sequence of three or four filters with what to do in each. 7. Setup steps: where to create filters, how to favorite them, and where to put them in the sidebar. 8. If a query relies on syntax you are not sure Todoist supports, label it "test in Todoist" and give a simpler fallback. Constraints: - No more than seven saved filters. Each name under four words. - Exact query strings in code style. No em dashes.
