Tips & Tricks Tuesday: Choose tag colors by mood

Bob T. Monkey researches colors

Whether you’re viewing your tags in the left navigation bar or in the task list, adding some color can really help. This week, dougbrown77 suggests tying your tag colors to emotions so you can enjoy looking at your tasks all the more. 😊

I have started adjusting tag colors to match emotions that I often feel when dealing with a particular kind of task.

For example I enjoy camping and hiking. I use the words hiking, camping, campingsupplies, etc for my tags. I also change the color of those tags to blue. I do this because the color blue is restful to me. These tags catch my eye easily.

I did a bit of research regarding various colors that correspond to emotions. Here’s a helpful article.

I have found that colors really are a personal choice. So you may need to tweak your color choices. The colors of tags are easily changed in RTM. Look for the pull down button by each tag and you will see various colors. Thank you RTM!
