A "Subtask" is something that you need to do first before being able to accomplish your task. In GTG, the purpose of subtasks is to cut down a task in smaller subtasks that are easier to achieve and to track down.

To insert a subtask in the task description (this window, for instance), begin a line with "-", then write the subtask title and press Enter.

Try inserting one subtask below. Type "- This is my first subtask!", for instance, and press Enter:



Alternatively, you can also use the "Insert Subtask" button.

Note that subtasks obey to some rules: first, a subtask's due date can never happen after its parent's due date and, second, when you mark a parent task as done, its subtasks will also be marked as done.

And if you are not happy with your current tasks/subtasks organization, you can always change it by drag-and-dropping tasks on each other in the tasks list.

In GTG, you use tags to sort your tasks. A tag is a simple word that begins with "@".

Try to type a word beginning with "@" here:

Once it becomes yellow, it is a tag! And this tag is now linked to the task!

Using the View menu, you can enable a sidebar which displays all the tags you are using. This allows you to easily see all tasks associated to a given tag.

If you right-click on a tag in the sidebar, you can also edit it. It allows you to assign it a color or an icon for instance. This is handy if you want to quickly identify the tasks associated to a given tag in the task list!

New tags are always added exclusively to the currently edited task, and never to its subtasks. However, when you create a new subtask, it will inherit its parent's tags.

If you need a more advanced task organization, you can also create a hierarchy of tags by drag-and-dropping a tag onto another. This is useful when you want to regroup several tags together and see all related tasks easily. For instance, if you have two tags @money and @to_pay, and you drag @to_pay on @money, every task tagged with @to_pay will also appear when you select @money.

If you press the "Work View" button, only actionable tasks will be displayed in your list.

What is an actionable task? It's a task you can do directly, right now.

It's a task that is already "start-able", i.e. the start date is already over.

It's a task that doesn't have open subtasks, i.e. you can do the task itself directly.

It's a task that has a due date different than "Someday", since this kind of date is reserved for things that needs more thoughts before being actionable.

Thus, in short, the Work View shows you tasks that you can do right now. It's very useful when you want to get things done and to focus on the relevant tasks!

If you use tags, you can right click on a tag in the sidebar and choose to hide tasks assigned to this particular tag in the Work View. It is very useful if you have a tag like "@wait" that you use for tasks blocked by some external event (i.e. a phone call you wait to receive).

And finally, an important note regarding the Work View: since the Work View is updated instantaneously, if you edit your task while using the Work View, this task might disappear due to the change you just made (e.g. adding a subtask, adding a tag hidden in the Work View, etc.). To avoid this, it's better not to edit your task while using the Work View.
