This is a short description of the function to be completed.  Use the Instructions field for detailed descriptions of what is to be done and the Notes field for what actually got done.

Begin Date

The date the event is scheduled to begin.  This consists of the previous event's Due Date plus the Wait Days (Weekdays)

Due Date

The Due Date consists of the Begin Date plus the Duration.  If the duration is 1, the Due Date will be the same as the Begin Date, meaning that you have one day to complete the task, from morning to night.
