Task Priority Levels
- High: Critical tasks that need immediate attention
- Medium: Important tasks that should be done soon (default)
- Low: Nice-to-have tasks that can wait
Task Status Values
- Pending: Not yet started
- In Progress: Currently being worked on
- Completed: Finished and done
- Blocked: Unable to progress due to dependencies or blockers
Best Practices
Clear Task Titles
✅ "Implement user authentication for mobile app" ❌ "Do the auth thing"
Meaningful Descriptions
- Include context about why the task exists
- Add any relevant links or references
- Note dependencies on other tasks
Appropriate Prioritization
- Use High for critical path items and urgent fixes
- Use Medium for regular work (this is the default)
- Use Low for nice-to-have enhancements
Consistent Tagging
- Create tags that make sense for your workflow
- Examples:
bug,feature,documentation,review,urgent - Use tags to filter and find related work quickly
Regular Status Updates
- Keep task status accurate for better tracking
- Mark items complete as soon as they're done
- Update blocked items with reasons
Due Dates
- Set realistic due dates to avoid constant overdue items
- Review overdue tasks regularly
- Adjust dates if priorities change
Common Patterns
Breaking Down Large Work
Instead of one huge task, break work into smaller pieces:
Project: "Q4 Product Launch"
├── Task: "Finalize requirements" (due Monday)
├── Task: "Implement features" (due Wednesday)
├── Task: "QA and testing" (due Friday)
└── Task: "Deploy to production" (due Saturday)
Using Tags for Workflow
Organize by tags to enable quick filtering:
Tags: bug, feature, documentation, review, urgent, blocked
Filter: Show me all [bug] and [urgent] tasks
Priority-Based Focusing
Focus on what matters most:
"Show me all high-priority tasks"
"What high-priority tasks are overdue?"
"Update the high-priority blocked task"
Integration with Your Workflow
With Code Reviews
- Create task: "Review PR #123 for authentication module"
- Tag it:
code-review,urgent - Set priority:
high - Due date: tomorrow
With Project Planning
- Create project for each initiative
- Add tasks as you discover work
- Update status as team progresses
- Check completion rate for velocity tracking
With Daily Standup
- Run daily review to see pending items
- Call out overdue tasks needing attention
- Share completion statistics
Limitations
- Text-based interface (no graphical UI)
- Single user (no multi-user collaboration)
- SQLite backend (local storage only)
- No time tracking (only due dates)
Tips for Effectiveness
- Create tasks immediately when you think of work
- Review overdue items daily
- Update status regularly for accurate tracking
- Use tags consistently for better filtering
- Set reasonable due dates to maintain credibility
- Review completion metrics weekly to track productivity
