Creating and Editing Tasks
Adding and refining tasks in TidyJot is straightforward, ensuring you can quickly capture what needs to be done and adjust it as your priorities evolve.
Creating a New Task:
From the Dashboard:
On your main Dashboard, look for a "Quick Add Task" input field or a "+" button within your To-Do List widget.
Simply type your task description (e.g., "Email client X about project proposal").
Press Enter or click "Add" to save the task. It will typically default to an "Today" intent type.
From a Journal Entry:
When creating or editing a journal entry, TidyJot's AI can often extract tasks directly from your text. As you write, if you mention something that sounds like an action item, the AI might suggest it as a task.
You can also manually add a task directly from the journal interface if a dedicated option is available.
From a Focus Area (Plans):
Within the "Plans" section, when viewing a specific Focus Area, you'll find an option to add tasks directly associated with that project. This helps keep your project-related tasks organized.
Editing an Existing Task:
Locate the Task: Find the task you wish to edit on your Dashboard, in a Focus Area, or in any task list.
Open Edit Mode:
Clicking on the task itself will often open a detailed edit modal or expand its view.
Alternatively, you might see an "Edit" icon (like a pencil) next to the task.
Make Your Changes:
Task Description: Update the text of the task.
Intent Type: Change its prioritization (e.g., from "Soon" to "Today").
Due Date: Set or adjust a specific deadline.
Recurrence: Configure if the task should repeat.
Focus Area Link: Assign or reassign the task to a different Focus Area.
Tags: Add or remove relevant tags.
Save Changes: Click "Save" or "Update Task" to apply your modifications.
Tips:
Be Clear and Concise: Write task descriptions that are actionable and easy to understand at a glance.
Break Down Large Tasks: If a task feels overwhelming, break it into smaller, more manageable sub-tasks.
