A label that describes the context needed to complete a task.
Definition
Tags help you organize tasks by context, making it easy to find the right task for your current situation.
Why Use Tags?
Tags answer the question: "What can I do right now?"
They describe:
- Where you need to be (Office, Home, Anywhere)
- What energy level you need (High, Medium, Low)
- Who you need (Independent, Teamwork, Communication)
- What tools you need (Computer, Phone, Errands)
