Adding Tasks

Adding a task into the input and selecting a priority — Add tasks with one input—no modal, no extra dialog.

Organizing Priorities

Use the three lanes to separate urgent work from ongoing responsibilities. High is for critical deadlines, Due Today helps you finish daily goals, and General keeps longer-term tasks visible without clutter.

Three lanes: High, Due Today, General, each showing example tasks — Keep the list simple but clear with three lanes—enough for focus, not enough for micromanagement.

Completing and Restoring

Click the green checkmark to mark a task complete. Completed tasks move into a separate section where you can restore them anytime. This makes it easy to track progress without losing visibility.

Completing a task and restoring it from the completed section — Done items are archived for later reference—restore with one click.

Automatic Reset

At midnight, the app automatically resets your daily tasks to keep your list clean. Important long-term items can be re-added the next day.

Make it a habit: pair the reset with a 5-minute Weekly Review to re-prioritize and carry over anything still relevant.

Pro Tips (Make It Stick)

Start with a daily intention. One sentence that defines success for today.
Batch admin work. Keep email and errands to one or two windows per day.
Use short, named blocks. e.g., “Draft client email (25 min)”.
Plan the next step, not the entire project. Every task should be completable in one sitting.
Close with a 2-minute review. Move items forward and tee up tomorrow’s top three.
