Tips & Tricks Tuesday: Keeping track of your current task with priority

Bob T. Monkey holds a priority flag

It’s possible to use priority for a variety of things but this week’s tip to track the current task and its progress, shared by john.turknett, is one of the simplest.

I use the priority flag to sort my tasks as well as determine the current task I am working on.

‘Priority 1’ tasks I need to get done without question, while everything else has 'No Priority’.

When I start a task I mark it as 'Priority 3’, which moves it up to the top. If I have to step away in the middle of the task, I know where I was when I come back. When the task is complete, I reset it to 'No Priority’ and complete.

Thanks for sharing this tip, john.turknett! You’re our Tips & Tricks Tuesday winner this week.
