Why is there a choice for the start date? Shouldn't it be the day I create the task?

LifeStarr is here to keep you organized and one of the ways it does this is by allowing you to choose a start date in the future for a task you are creating today, while it's fresh on your mind!  If you have a task that you need to start next week, you can set it up today with a future start date.  This will place the task on a temporary hold and will place the task in the On Hold section of your My Action Items list until the start date arrives.  Sure, you can use today's date and enter a due date for next week, but why see tasks on your to do list that aren't ready to be tackled?! Use a future start date instead!
