Your tasks and your own lists

Tasks in the sidebar is your to-do list across every project: what's overdue, what's due today, this week, later, and what has no date yet.

#What's on the page

• Assigned to me / All I can see — just your tasks, or every open task in projects you're part of.
• Tasks are grouped: Overdue, Today, This week, Later, No due date.
• Each row shows its project and list, its due date, and High for high-priority work.
• Tick the box to finish a task. Choose its title to open the task's page.

#Add a task

• Projects → New task, or Create → Task in the top bar, or ⌘ K → New task.

• Fill in:

  Field	What it does
  Title	What needs doing
  Where it goes	One of your own lists, or a project (grouped by Space)
  List	Which list in that project — To do, Doing…
  Priority	Low, Normal or High
  Assigned to	Anyone in the project — more than one person is fine
  Estimate	How long it'll take. Used when you put the task on your calendar.
  Due date / Start date	When it's due, and when you mean to start
  Description	Notes, links, anything the task needs

• Choose Create task.

#Your own lists

Below your tasks, My lists holds lists that are just yours — no project, no board, nobody else. A shopping list, errands, books to read.

• Type a name into New list — Shopping, Errands… and press Enter.
• Add items with Add something; tick them off as you go.
• Rename a list by double-clicking its name.
• Turn into a project — when a list grows up ("Move house" suddenly needs a mover, a budget and three people), this makes it a project in your Personal Space, tasks and all. Add people to it from there.
• Delete removes the list and everything in it.

#Due dates on your calendar

Open tasks with a due date show as small chips in the all-day row of the calendar and on Today. Tick a chip to finish the task. Chips never count as busy time, so they don't block bookings or Find a time.

To hide them, untick Show due dates on the calendar in the calendar's Tasks panel. To actually set time aside for a task, see Tasks on your calendar.
