- Hierarchical organization of tasks
- The heart of Tasks™ is the hierarchical task structure. Tasks and notes are organized and categorized through these relationships. Put your high-level projects at the top and fill out the details as you go.
- Prioritize
- Set priorities on your tasks so you can easily see what you need to do next. You can even sort tasks by priority across projects by using the Sortable screen.
- Be Timely
- You can set a due date for each task, then view all upcoming tasks and receive daily e-mail reminders so you don’t forget any deadlines.
- Recurring Tasks
- Set up recurring tasks for those daily, weekly, monthly, annual, bi-annual, etc. tasks you need to take care of.
- Task Templates
- Have a repetative task? Create a template for it! The template can be an entire task hierarchy and you can even create templates from existing tasks.
- Create tasks from e-mails
- Tell Tasks™ to check a mailbox and Tasks™ will create tasks from any e-mails sent to that mailbox. You can even set the task owner, priority, date due, etc.
