Your task list already knows what needs doing. It doesn't know what you're equipped to do about it right now. That's the job contexts do — a second filter, separate from your folders. New guide: https://t.co/ATg2S2GDbE

Dozens of folders isn't clutter — it's an honest map of what you're responsible for.

Group the related ones so the list stays scannable. Cut across with priorities and statuses. Find anything fast, at any size.

Put a date on every task and within a month the dates mean nothing — just badges you scroll past.
Date the few things that actually break if they slip. Let a reminder surface the rest when you can act.

A formatted task note isn't decoration. It's how the task gets done.

Header to orient. Bold what governs the next move. Steps as a checklist you tick down. The task's done when the note is — then it stays as the record.

Subtasks are for doing. Notes are for knowing.
Principal Task notes support extended Markdown — headings, lists, links, tables. Context that still makes sense weeks later.

A priority everything tags is a priority that means nothing. Same for the star. New guide: why your two marks stop working, and how to keep them sharp.

Your dashboard isn't there to tell you you're doing great.
It's there to show you the shape of your work.

You don't rebuild recurring work because you forgot it. You rebuild it because you never captured it. That's not a time problem. It's a decision problem. New guide: templates in Principal Task. https://t.co/RLPVOvzhxr

The task you keep skipping isn't hard. It's opaque.
Break it into discrete steps and it stops being something you avoid and starts being something you do.
