PrettyTasks - personal task manager for everyone

We are glad to welcome you on Habré!

Good day to all habragers! We are pleased to present to our dear audience our service for managing personal tasks. We hope that you will love him as much as we do.

PrettyTasks - a task scheduling system “for yourself”

The main purpose of the service was to increase personal efficiency, by simplifying planning.
You can find it at prettytasks.com/ru

What for?

Oddly enough, GTD services, as well as task management services are really a lot. So why another one?
The answer lies in the fact that most services are not very convenient, and we decided to embody our vision. Our goal was to make the most convenient and simple service that will be understandable to everyone, and despite the simplicity, will increase personal efficiency.

The simplicity of the idea - the key to success

The idea is to plan tasks in the form of linear lists and tasks to be placed by day. You plan to do it today - you set a task for today, you plan for tomorrow, after, tomorrow.

Unfulfilled tasks do not pile up for the current day, but remain in the day on which the overdue ones were scheduled and available on the list.

Priorities were reduced to the maximum, there were only simple tasks and important ones. We recommend setting priorities by changing the order.

Planned tasks are tasks for the future;

Successful days can be celebrated, you can also comment on the days.

And no reminders

Work with the service

In this section, we consider the features of working with the service.

Types of tasks

Routine task

Such a task is tied to the day, but not tied to time. Typically, the time of its execution is not essential.
Examples:

1. On Saturday we go to the zoo.
2. On Wednesday, sign up to the gym.
3. Today to sign documents at the head.

Time bound task

Such a task is tied to both the day and the time. Doing it at the wrong time can lead to a failure of the task.
Examples:

1. At 2 o'clock meeting.
2. Go to the cinema at 20:00
3. Date at 5:15
4. Listen to the news at 5 pm

Tasks of this type operate on calendars.

Repetitive tasks

Such tasks are repeated with some frequency. They may or may not be time bound. A collection of repetitive tasks form a series.
Examples:

1. Every Monday, Wednesday, Friday 19:00 - gym
2. Fridays sauna with friends
3. Every six months to do MOT.

Typing by priority and by duration

Priorities

Any task of the 4 types listed above can have priorities. We will prioritize normal and high.

Duration

Any task from “Normal task” or “Task with time reference” or “Recurring task” can be noted as continued. The meaning of this mark is that the task starts to appear ahead of time, so as not to miss. The date (and time) of such a task serves to indicate the deadline.
Examples:

1. Write an article by November 20th.
2. Prepare documents by 12:00 on the 17th
3. Prepare a report by Monday
4. Get ready for a weekend trip

Additional types

Challenge for the future

Such tasks are not tied to the day and time. They later turn into tasks of the “Normal Task” level or “Task with a time reference”, or specified.
Examples:

1. Go to the Crimea
2. Write an article about cruise
3. Buy a second store
4. Order business cards

Overdue tasks

These are the tasks of the first three types, for which the deadline has expired and which have not been marked as completed.

Completed tasks

Tasks marked “Completed”
That, in principle, is all about task types. They fully cover our planning needs.

Operations on tasks

Tasks are the heart of the system. The maximum attention was paid to the convenience of working with them.
