Create a task

Creating a task takes seconds, but the details make it stick. Here’s every field.

The essentials

• Title — what needs doing. Keep it short and specific.
• Assignee — who’s responsible. Leave unassigned for shared chores.
• Due date — when it’s due. Optional for undated reminders.

Schedule

• Frequency — once, daily, weekly or monthly.
• Repeat every — e.g. every 2 weeks, or every 3 days.
• Days of week — for weekly tasks, pick the specific weekdays.
• Day of month — for monthly tasks.
• Time — set one or more times (e.g. morning and evening).
• Start / end date — bound a repeating task to a period.

See Recurring schedules for worked examples.

Extras

• Priority — flag the things that can’t slip.
• Description — extra context, steps, or links.
• Photo / file — attach a reference (a photo proof of what “done” looks like, a recipe, etc.).
• Kind — routine, ECA or grocery (see Task kinds).

When money is involved

For an ECA task you can set a fee and a cycle (per class, per month, per term, or one-off). This fee automatically appears in your Expenses.

Tips

• Use the voice button to create tasks hands-free — Create a task by voice.
• Add a photo to show exactly what “done” means.
• Set priority on anything with a hard deadline.
