What the Task Manager Fields Mean

In Astrid, TRO features are handled as follows:

• When is the hard date.
• A “When” of today means Do This Today.
• Priority is the soft date (=this week, =next week, =this month, = later).
• The S/M List means Someday/Maybe.
• Deadline dates are entered in the subject line (in parentheses) after the project name or next step.
• Lists are used for all types of contexts.
• Projects and next steps are entered in the task Subject:

Project Name / Next Step

• Future next steps are entered in the Description field, one per line, roughly in order.
• Email notifications are optional.
