Using estimates to limit tasks by available time

corky.wicks says:
I want to create a filter that limits my task backlog to 4 to 6 hours, so I don't have to move tasks as often.

Hi corky.wicks,
It's not possible to limit your tasks in a search/Smart List, sorry.

The only suggestion I have with your task estimates is to watch the "total time estimated" on the right in the details pane and adjust tasks to suit.

For example, maybe you have your estimates set on your tasks, and then you choose tasks for today by setting the due date or setting priority 1: you can reset the due date or the priority on some of those tasks to move them out of the Smart List, thus bringing the estimate down.

Maybe that's what you're doing already, sorry if so! But I hope that helps a little bit. 💙
