01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A person’s description of work to remember, with an optional due date

“Prepare a task from the supplied request, retain its useful details, and add it to the chosen task list only after the owner confirms it.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Turns a task request into a concise, reviewable reminder and records it in the selected personal list after confirmation.

  1. Capture the work to remember

    Collect the requested task and any context that will help the owner recognize what needs doing.

  2. Check any due date

    Keep a supplied date and time clear, and ask for clarification when timing is ambiguous rather than inventing a deadline.

  3. Choose the right task list

    Identify the intended personal list and show the destination alongside the proposed reminder.

  4. Review before adding

    Let the owner confirm the wording, notes, due date, and task list before changing their records.

  5. Add the confirmed task

    Create the task after approval and make the outcome visible so the owner can follow up.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A proposed task with its title, notes, and due date when supplied; after approval, a task entry in the selected list.

The handoff

A proposed task with its title, notes, and due date when supplied; after approval, a task entry in the selected list.

Keep in mind

Check the task title, due date, and destination list before adding it. The reminder records work to do; it does not complete the work or confirm that it has been done.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose the task list

Select the personal list where approved reminders should appear and confirm who can add items.

Set task details and date rules

Decide which details to keep, whether due dates are optional, and how incomplete or relative dates are clarified.

Name the person who approves additions

Identify the task owner or delegate who confirms each proposed reminder before it is recorded.

Review a few sample requests

Check a simple task, a task with a date, and an unclear request to ensure details are not silently guessed.
