Say goodbye to that familiar "I know I'm forgetting something" feeling. The Tasks application helps you track, organize, and prioritize your responsibilities. Use it to keep your important goals and responsibilities from getting lost in a pile of less urgent stuff. Tasks can provide a huge return on a small investment in time. Take a few minutes to plot all your to-do items, and you'll find yourself getting a lot more done.

First things first

Use priorities to make urgent tasks stand out. Tasks can be prioritized from 1 (highest priority) to 5 (lowest). Regularly update priorities to reflect your shifting daily and weekly schedule.

Tasks show up in Calendar

When you create tasks, they automatically show up in Calendar's Agenda View just tap a task to see it. When a task is past due, it appears on your agenda with an exclamation point.

Fast tasks

To create a new task fast, open Tasks and begin writing in the Graffiti® 2 writing area. A new task is created automatically.

Duplicate tasks to save time

Create a task that shares the due date and category of another by highlighting an existing task, tapping New, and changing what the task is.
