Tasks in Yoodoo

Tasks are the heartbeat of Yoodoo. You can create, customise, schedule, focus on, and complete them from multiple places across the app.

Let’s break it all down 👇

📝 Creating Tasks

There are 2 main ways to add tasks:

1. From the Task List:

• Tap the ➕ icon next to a section

• Opens the full task editor for detailed entries

  
  

2. Quick Add:

• Tap the Quick Add bar at the bottom

• Type and tap ➕ — it lands in the top section of your list instantly

  
  

Great for brain dumps or rapid-fire idea capture.

📌 Pinning Tasks

Need something always in your face?

• Tap the task → tap Edit → toggle “Pin to Tasklist”

• It’ll stay locked to the top of your list until done or unpinned
  Perfect for high-priority, do-not-ignore tasks.

🪜 Subtasks (With Optional Timers)

Break down overwhelming tasks into smaller, doable steps.

• Each subtask can be assigned its own time estimate

• The focus timer will then count down per subtask
  (instead of one giant chunk of time)

Use AI to Help

• Tap “Generate Steps with AI”

• Choose difficulty level (more difficult = more steps)

• Optional: Let AI suggest time estimates too
  🧠 This is a PRO feature.

⏳ Deadlines

Stay on track with future goals.

• Add a deadline to any task

• These tasks stay top-of-list as the deadline approaches

• If overdue, they turn red with a warning label — so you don’t forget

⌛ Durations

Scheduling tasks to your timeline gets easier with time estimates.

• Set durations in 5-minute intervals

• Want super short durations like 2 or 7 mins?
  → Just create a subtask and assign any duration — subtasks are fully flexible

🗒️ Descriptions

Add context, ideas, or random reminders.

• Notes, lists, instructions — whatever you need

• Great for reminding future-you what the heck this task was about

🗂️ Assigning Lists

Move a task to any list you like:

• Tap the task → tap Edit → choose your list

• It’ll appear in the top section of the new list

⚙️ Advanced Settings (Additional Tab)

Get more out of your tasks:

• 🔁 Set it to repeat (adds to Habits > Repeats)

• ⭐ Add to Quick-Add/Favourites

• 🔔 Enable or disable reminders (on by default)

• 📎 Attach files, images, docs from your device

✏️ Editing, Deleting, Duplicating

Tap any task → then tap the Edit icon.

From here, you can:

• Edit

• Delete

• Duplicate

• Archive
  
  

🔗 Linked Tasks: Lists ↔ Timeline

Tasks you schedule from a list are linked to the timeline.

• Marked complete in one = complete in both

• Super handy for staying on top of your daily plan and list progress

🔁 Rescheduling Missed Tasks

To re-add previously scheduled tasks:

1. Tap a timeblock on the Timeline

2. Tap Tasks → go to Scheduled Tasks

3. See all past scheduled but incomplete tasks — add them back instantly

🎯 Focus Timers

Every task has its own timer.

To launch:

• Tap the task → tap Focus

• Pick your time and go — subtask countdowns included

💡 Save your best tasks to Quick-Add so you can reuse them anytime, fully loaded with steps and times.

💥 Final Tip

Tasks are more than just to-dos — they’re mini systems.

Use subtasks for clarity.
Use durations for planning.
Use timers for doing.
Use deadlines for pressure.
Use lists to stay sane.
