Your top priority task

Your home screen shows one task to start with – your top priority task. Booost picks it from your list so you don't have to scan everything to work out where to begin.

Task order

Booost works through your task list in this order:

1. Due date, soonest first. Anything overdue comes first, so it stays in front of you until it's done – even if you haven't given it an importance level.
2. Importance, for tasks due on the same day. 'Must do', then 'Will do', then 'Might do', then tasks with no importance set.
3. Tasks with no due date come last, ordered by importance. Any without an importance level are ordered newest first.

See a different task

Select 'See next priority task' to move to the second task on your list, and 'Back to top priority task' to return.

Booost shows you these two, so you have a choice of where to start without working through your whole list.

Change what comes first

Your full list lives in [Tasks], where you can see everything at once and group it however suits you.

Changing a task's due date or importance changes where it sits in the order – and so what appears on your home screen. If a task isn't the one you want to start with, move it down by pushing its due date back or lowering its importance. If something needs to come first, give it a nearer due date or mark it 'Must do'. See [Manage your tasks].

Nothing on your list yet

If you haven't added any tasks, Booost invites you to create your first one. Once you have at least one task, there'll always be a priority task waiting for you – so if nothing's showing, it means your list is empty rather than anything having gone wrong. See [Add a task].

Focus time in [Booost Your Day] chooses your task the same way.
