Your plans, all in one place
Tasks in Private Journal Pro helps you keep track of everything you need to do, from a weekly shopping run to a house move or a work project. It sits next to your diary, notes and contacts, so your plans and your thoughts live in the same private space.
Boards and groups
Create a board for each area of your life, such as "Home", "Work" or "Wedding", and split each board into groups like "This week", "Waiting" or "Done". Drag tasks between groups and drag groups into the order you want. When a group gets long, collapse it to keep the board tidy.
Four ways to see your tasks
- Table: every task in a clear list with its status, priority, due date and labels.
- Kanban: columns by status, so you can drag a task from "Not started" to "In progress" to "Completed".
- Calendar: see what's due on each day of the month.
- My week: open tasks from all your boards, grouped into Overdue, Today, Tomorrow, Later this week and Next week, so you know what needs your attention now.
Everything a task needs
- Status and priority: mark tasks as Not started, In progress, On hold, Completed or Cancelled, and set a high, medium or low priority.
- Due dates: give a task a date and see it on the calendar.
- Labels: colour-coded labels such as "Urgent", "Errands" or "Waiting for reply" make tasks easy to spot. Filter any board by label, status, priority or overdue tasks, or search by name.
- Checklists: break a task into small steps. The task's progress updates as you tick them off.
- Updates: add short notes to a task as things happen, such as "Called the garage, parts arrive Friday", so you have the full history in one place.
Email reminders before things are due
Choose when you want to be reminded: on the day, or 1, 3, 7, 14 or 30 days before the due date. You can pick more than one, for example a week before and again the day before. Reminders arrive by email, so you don't need to have the site open. If you change the due date, the reminders move with it.
An example: learning a new language
Create a board called "Spanish" with groups for "This week" and "Later". Add a task called "Finish unit 3" with a checklist of the lessons, a due date at the end of the month, and a reminder three days before. Each time you practise, add an update with what you found hard. Then write about how it's going in your diary.
