In this case, let’s say your internet is down at the office so you want to complete any phone calls you can while you’re waiting. To filter tasks, select the list you want to filter through (in this case we’ll look at “Due in the next 7 days” and then click the magnifying glass in the top left corner of your task list and fill in your filtering criteria. You may want to prioritize your tasks this way, and to do so all you need to do is drag and drop the tasks on your worklist. A good habit to get into is to add keywords to your tasks like or This way you can filter your tasks for what needs to be completed with a computer, or a phone, or what can be left for you to do at home later in the day. To add a task on the fly to your worklist form your home page, click the “+” in the top right corner beside worklist and add in the necessary information. You can add tasks to your worklist on the fly, but it’s important to ask yourself these questions first, “Does this need to be completed today? Will I realistically be able to complete this task today or will it contribute to an overloaded ‘to do’ list?” If there is, stress not my friend, it’s already been done! This way if you can’t remember if you finished that task you were asked to do, you can review if a task has been completed by viewing your “All Tasks” and seeing if there is a check mark beside that task.

So… how do we keep an uncluttered work list?

A work list is not meant to be a constant reminder of your full work load. When you look at your home page and see your work list, you should only have the tasks on there that you know you NEED TO and CAN complete today. This however, is not what the work list is meant for. Some people make the common mistake of continuously adding tasks to their worklist until it becomes an overloaded “to do” list. In Daylite, your focus list is your worklist. When you’re faced with an overload of work that needs to be done, it’s important to have a focus list. This relieves worry and relaxes your mind on all the little steps and components that need to be taken care of, so you can focus on what can realistically be accomplished today.

These are all tasks that need to be competed, appointments that need to be scheduled or calls that need to be made.
