Tasks and Projects

Capture, organise, and plan everything you need to do, with projects, priorities, due dates, recurring tasks, subtasks, and multiple views including calendar, agenda, Kanban, and Gantt.


Manage everything you need to do from one place. Tasks lets you capture actions quickly, organise them into projects, set priorities and due dates, and plan your week. Projects can be as simple as a list or as structured as a Gantt chart — whichever works for you.

Getting started

  1. 1Drop anything you need to do into the inbox — one line is enough to start
  2. 2Triage your inbox: set a priority, a due date, and move it into a project
  3. 3Organise related work into projects, which can be nested for structured pieces of work
  4. 4Use the weekly planner to schedule tasks into specific time slots

Tasks

  • 📥 Inbox: capture tasks instantly without deciding where they go — triage later
  • ⚡ Priority: low, medium, high, or critical — shown visually on every task card
  • 📅 Due and scheduled dates: due date for the deadline, scheduled date for when you plan to do it
  • 🔄 Recurrence: daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, or a custom rule for repeating tasks
  • 📋 Subtasks: break any task into steps and track completion of each
  • 🏷️ Labels: add custom labels to categorise and filter tasks across projects
  • 💬 Comments: add notes and discussion to a task — useful for ongoing work
  • 🐸 Frog task: mark one task as the most important thing to do today
  • 📧 Email to task: forward an email to your LifeAxis inbox address and it becomes a task automatically

Projects

  • 📁 Hierarchical structure: projects can contain child projects for nested work like a project with multiple workstreams
  • 🎨 Project types: work, personal, or fitness — colour-coded for quick identification
  • 📆 Start and end dates: set an overall timeframe for a project
  • 📝 Project notes: attach free-text documentation to a project for context, decisions, and reference

Views

Switch between views to see your tasks the way that suits the work:

  • Table: sortable, filterable list — the default task view
  • Calendar: tasks displayed by due date across a calendar
  • Agenda: a chronological list of upcoming tasks
  • Weekly planner: schedule tasks into time slots across the week
  • Kanban: column-based view by status
  • Gantt / timeline: visual project timeline for planning across time

Integrations

  • Google Calendar: your calendar events sync into LifeAxis schedule views so you can plan tasks around existing commitments

Smart task suggestions

LifeAxis creates suggested tasks automatically from your other data. When your MOT is due, a task appears to book it. When a mortgage deal is expiring, a task appears to review your options. Suggestions appear in your inbox ready to accept or dismiss.

Property-linked tasks

Tasks can be linked to a specific property. When you open a property record, its linked tasks appear in the property's task tab — keeping maintenance jobs, admin, and to-dos in context.

Coming soon

  • AI task intelligence: Axel can suggest re-priorities for overdue tasks, break vague tasks into subtasks, and enrich tasks with context on creation
  • Time tracking: log time spent against a task and see a weekly time report
  • Advanced project templates: pre-built templates for common workflows like home renovation, job search, and event planning
  • Vehicle-linked tasks: tasks linked to a vehicle surfaced on the vehicle record, the same way property tasks work today
