Tasks

Task Management That Fits Your Style#

Wyatt's task system is not a one-size-fits-all to-do list. Choose from several proven productivity frameworks — or start with a simple list and switch later. Each framework comes with purpose-built views, fields, and workflows.

Getting Started#

Create tasks from the sidebar by clicking Tasks, or ask the AI in a conversation:

The AI can create, update, resolve, and organize tasks on your behalf using Wyatt's canonical task model. Natural-language phrasing like "make this urgent", "due Friday", or "mark it done as duplicate" is normalized into the same task fields and resolutions the product uses everywhere else.

Choosing a Framework#

When you first open Tasks, you can pick the framework that matches how you like to work:

You can switch frameworks at any time without losing your tasks.

The Inbox#

Every framework includes an Inbox where new tasks land before you process them. The inbox is your capture point — get ideas and to-dos out of your head quickly, then organize them later.

In GTD mode, the inbox is the starting point for the "process" workflow: for each item, you decide whether to do it, defer it, delegate it, or delete it.

Views#

Depending on your framework, you'll have access to different views. Switch between them using the view switcher at the top of the Tasks page.

Common Views#

• List — a simple, sortable list of all your tasks
• Board (Kanban) — columns you can drag tasks between (e.g., To Do, In Progress, Done)
• Timeline — tasks grouped by due date on a visual timeline

Priority Matrix (Eisenhower)#

The matrix view divides your tasks into four quadrants based on urgency and importance:

Drag tasks between quadrants to reprioritize, or use quick actions to assign them.

Daily View (1-3-5)#

Focus your day by selecting:

• 1 big task — your most impactful work for the day
• 3 medium tasks — meaningful progress items
• 5 small tasks — quick wins and minor to-dos

The daily view also supports "Eat the Frog" — marking the task you're most likely to procrastinate on so you tackle it first.

GTD Views#

If you're using the Getting Things Done framework, you also get:

• Contexts — tasks grouped by where or how you'll do them (e.g., @computer, @phone, @errands)
• Projects — tasks organized under multi-step outcomes
• Waiting For — tasks you've delegated to others
• Weekly Review — a guided checklist to keep your system current

Creating Tasks#

Click New Task or use the quick-add shortcut. Depending on your framework, you'll see different fields:

• Title and description (always available)
• Priority and due date
• Context tags (GTD) — like @phone, @computer, @office
• Importance and urgency (Eisenhower)
• Size (Daily Focus) — small, medium, or large
• Story points (Scrum) — Fibonacci-based estimation
• Project assignment

Quick Actions#

Each framework provides quick actions to process tasks fast without opening the full edit dialog:

• Complete — mark a task as done
• Defer — push to someday/maybe (GTD)
• Delegate — assign to someone and track in Waiting For
• Move — drag to a different column or quadrant

Next Steps#

• Approvals — request and track approvals on tasks
• AI Conversations — manage tasks through natural language
