# Clean up overdue and stalled cards

> Overdue cards, cards with no activity, and cards with no Processor appear at the top of Home and in the end-of-week email as "Cards to tidy up." Extend the deadline, mark them done, and more, right there.

Cards left alone appear at the top of **Your cards** on Home as cards to tidy up. You can extend the deadline or mark them done right there, without opening the card.

Home shows up to 3 of them, most important first. To see the rest, use **See cards to tidy up** in the end-of-week email.

## Which cards need tidying up

Cards where you are the Creator, Processor, Reviewer, or Receiver, and that match one of these:

| Label | Cards that match |
| - | - |
| Overdue | Past the due date. For In progress and In review cards with no due date, past the start date |
| Start date has passed | Still Not started after the start date |
| No deadline · no activity for 14 days | In progress with no due date, and no updates, comments, or step changes for 14 days |
| No processor | Not started, In progress, or In review with no Processor |

Drafts, done, cancelled, and archived cards, and template cards, never appear. Only dates and the latest activity are checked. AI is not used.

## Tidy up right there

Two buttons appear, depending on the reason.

| Reason | Buttons |
| - | - |
| Overdue | **Extend deadline**, **Mark done** |
| No activity | **Set a deadline**, **Mark done** |
| No processor | **Make me the processor**, **Mark done** |

**Extend deadline** and **Set a deadline** ask for a new due date. If the start date has passed, it moves to the same day.

For other actions, such as cancelling or archiving, use **More actions** (⋮) on the right.

### Hide for a while

If you still plan to work on the card but it doesn't need a deadline yet, choose **Hide for a while** from **More actions**. The card stops appearing as "no activity" for 14 days. This doesn't affect overdue cards or cards with no Processor.

## See them all in a list

Press **See cards to tidy up** in the end-of-week email ([Email types](https://help.zarms.cloud/en/notifications/emails.md#end-of-week)) to open the **Cards to tidy up** list. It has the same buttons as Home.

Owners and Managers can switch **Cards to show** to **Whole team** to also see cards they aren't involved in. Use this to find stalled cards and check in with the people on them.
