    FAQ
    What task format should I use?
    Use Task | urgency | effort | note. Urgency can be today, soon, or later; effort can be quick, medium, or large.
    Is this a project management system?
    No. It is a lightweight sorting tool for ordinary task lists before you move work into a checklist, calendar, or project board.
    Why does it warn about large urgent tasks?
    Large urgent tasks often need a smaller next action before they can become useful checklist items.
