Newton OS: To Do Items Aren‘t Always Moved To Current Date

I noticed that some of the To Do items that I have not completed yet are not being moved forward each day. Since the Newton OS is suppose to carry To Do items forward each day until they are completed, why aren't they being carried forward? How do I get them to move forward each day without manually moving each To Do item?
Unfinished To Do items can get stuck in the past under a couple of situations:

For example, assume it is the 1st of the month and you have some unfinished To Do items. Back up your Newton device, and several days later you restore your Newton device. Those unfinished To Do items get restored to the 1st and do not automatically get moved up to the current date.

For example, assume it is the 1st of the month and you have unfinished To Do items on a storage card. You then remove the card and insert it a few days later. Those unfinished To Do items are still on the 1st and do not automatically get moved up to the current date.

How To Get To Do Items to Current Date

1) Set the date on the Newton device to the date of the earliest To Do item not being carried forward. (You can also set the date to something earlier).

2) Set the date to the current date.

When you move the date forward, all unfinished To Do items are also moved forward.
