How I use it
How a client uses Tasks during the week.
Tasks is the practical execution layer. The client uses it to decide what must happen, what can wait, and what needs a better container.

2Schedule work by day and optional time so Calendar and Today can surface it.
3Star or mark focus tasks when something needs extra attention.
4Open details only for tasks that need notes, links, or checklist steps.

Inline checklist steps

Review queue
Overdue and upcoming tasks can be cleaned up before the list becomes untrustworthy.
Linked context
Tasks can connect to goals, projects, people, and life areas when they need a larger reason.
Completion history
