A clear request.
A useful direction.

A person’s note about work or a reminder they want to track

“Create a personal task from the request and include its description, due date, and list when those details are clear.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Turns a person’s reminder into a trackable to-do and carries over the useful details they provided.

  1. Capture the reminder

    Read the person’s note and identify the action they want to remember.

  2. Keep the task easy to understand

    Use a short title and retain any context that will help the person complete the work.

  3. Use dates and lists only when clear

    Add a due date or destination list when the person supplied one or an agreed rule makes it unambiguous.

  4. Ask about unclear details

    Leave an uncertain deadline, priority, or task meaning for the person to clarify.

  5. Review and update the task

    Let the person confirm the task and adjust its details as their plans change.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A few choices shape the work around your team.
