Priority List
In this workflow, your tasks live in one long list – no sections, not statuses. Almost like you would do with paper and pencil. It is great for personal tasks, shopping lists, and other short lists.
How to add your tasks
There are two ways to create a new task in this workflow:
- Click the big blue "add" button at the bottom of the menu on the left
- Press
A
on the keyboard. Alternatively,CMD+N
(on Mac) andCtrl+N
(on other platforms) work as well.
Prioritization
This workflow features our signature automatic prioritization. Your tasks are sorted first by their assigned priority, then by their age. As in other workflows, start working on tasks from the top. If you have trouble getting started on a task, try starting a timer.
To quickly increase a task's priority, use Shift+Arrow Up
keyboard shortcut.
The task with the highest urgency will be highlighted in bold in the list as the next task to work on. This can be disabled in the settings.
