Tips&Tricks: Tracking targets for the day



Question: Can I assign points to tasks? And see the total number of points earned for the day? This is needed to motivate you to meet all the goals.

Solution: Instead of using points, you can use the effort field to track your progress.

How to set up

1. Create a project "Target for the day". 

 

Set the effort for it to 0. This is to ensure that the completion of the project itself is not counted in the project completion percentage. If the effort is set to 0 for the project, then progress will show 100% when all the subtasks are completed.

2. Add subtasks. For example, I plan 5 tasks for today:


  • Task 1: difficult, set effort to maximum.
  • Task 2: medium difficulty, normal effort
  • Task 3: medium difficulty, normal effort
  • Task 4: easy, less effort
  • Task 5: easy, less effort.


3. Enable the "Project Completion %" column.


The percentage of progress for the entire project is calculated upon completion of the subtasks.


4. You can also create a Trigger&Action, so that when the project is completed (i.e. when all targets for the day are met) an achievement message is shown:

 




Tip. You can find this option in Tools → Options → Triggers&Actions.
