How to add a task
There are several ways to do this, but let’s take it step by step:
- click on the yellow + button on the bottom right side of the screen
- select Task
- name your task (e.g. Buy vegetables from the fresh market)
- set a status for the task (one of To Do, Doing, Done)
- describe it by adding an extended Description if necessary
- assign it to a list (e.g. Shopping)
- if required, pin your task to a goal (e.g. Perfect Health)
In order to keep track of your task, you can also add more details:
- set a date and time or include it in a predefined Productivity zone
- set its duration (days/ hours/ minutes)
- establish when it’s due by (in case you’re on a tight schedule)
- specify a recurrence if required and set the interval in which you should repeat this task
- add a notification and choose if you want to receive an in-app alert or an email, then establish when you want to receive it
- for more precise filtering/searching, label your task with a tag; choose one from the predefined list or add one of your own (e.g. urgent, important, personal, grocers)
- attach an image and/or URL for extra references that can help you complete your task
An alternative to using the + button to create a task is to click the kebab menu (…) at the top-right side of the list.
- click on Add task
- follow the steps mentioned above
If you want to add a quick task to a list, just click on Quick add task, type it in and press Enter and it will be added to the list.
How to edit a task
In order to edit a task:
- click on the task
- add all the necessary details

After the task is completed, you can change its status to Done.
NOTE: On computers, you can do that by right-clicking on the task in the list and choosing Done in the popup menu or by double-clicking on it in the list.
