This is not the only way to add new tasks to the list. You can right-click on any empty space to bring up the context menu. Choose from two options- New missions And New quest request to schedule a task for yourself or assign to others respectively.
Enter the Subject and details of the task. Like, I created an account to pay the electricity bill. You can enter and organize other stuff like start date, end date, or make it a recurring task (monthly, weekly, biweekly, etc.).
Now, if you have chosen to assign the task to someone else, you will also need to enter their email address. Finally, click Save&Close or Send as may be suitable for you.
Based on your schedule priority and sequence, the tasks will be displayed in order and category. There are many benefits to using it and you will discover more once you start using it.
