Add a task

Tasks are the things you need to get done, whenever you can fit them in. Add one with Quick Add, then open it later to fill in as much detail as you'd like.

1. Select the + button in the middle of the navigation bar. On web: select 'Add' at the top of the left-hand panel.
2. Enter what you need to do.
3. Check that 'Task' is selected.
4. Add a due date or set importance, if you'd like to.
5. Select 'Add'.

Your task is saved straight away and appears in your list.

Add more detail

Open your task to add anything else:

• Due date and Due time
• Importance – this affects where your task sits in your list. See Your top priority task
• Reminders – see Set reminders for events and tasks
• Colour
• Checklist – break the task into steps, on the 'Checklist' tab. See Add a checklist to an event or task
• Notes – anything you want to hand, on the 'Notes' tab

Select 'Save' when you're happy with your task.

A checklist is worth adding even if it's only two or three lines. Your task card shows the next thing on it, so you can pick up where you left off without having to work out where that was.

To sort your list, tick tasks off or bring them back, see Manage your tasks.

You can change anything about your task later. See Edit an event or task.
