Tasks & recurring tasks

Tasks

PES keeps one queue: open, scheduled, done. Give a task a day and it shows up on Today when that day comes; give it a time and it takes its place on the calendar — scheduled tasks appear in both without being duplicated. Overdue work looks overdue; the queue doesn’t flatter you.

What a task can carry

Beyond the title: details, a priority (High / Normal / Low), a due date, an estimate in minutes, and an energy level — deep focus or light admin — that the planner uses to place it well.

PES also learns. Once it has seen a task actually take longer than you planned a few times, it starts suggesting the real duration — “usually takes about 50 minutes.” Plans built on evidence hold.

Recurring tasks

Any task can repeat. Set a cadence when you create or edit it:

• Daily — every day, no exceptions.
• Weekdays — Monday through Friday.
• Weekly — same day each week.
• Monthly — same date each month.

Completing today’s instance spawns the next one on schedule — never touching tomorrow’s.
