What We'll Cover

  • How to open Kanban from inside the planning view

  • The three view options: Projects, Date, and Tags

  • How to use Kanban at the start of your weekly planning session

The Kanban view shows all your projects as columns, with tasks as cards. Use it to get a bird's-eye view of where work stands across projects โ€” which ones are stacking up and which are moving. Open it once a week and it takes 60 seconds to get the full picture.

How to open the Kanban view

Click the Kanban icon in the left sidebar. You will see a column for each of your projects, with tasks as cards ordered by priority.

How to move and reprioritise tasks

Drag a task card from one column to another to change its project assignment. Drag it up or down within a column to change its priority order. Changes take effect immediately and are reflected in the Calendar view.

When to use Kanban vs the daily view

Use the planning view for daily decisions. Use Kanban at the start of your weekly planning session to see how full each project is before deciding what to pull into the week.

Adding tasks directly from Kanban

Click the plus icon at the top of any column to add a task directly to that project. The task will be assigned to the project automatically and will appear in your inbox unscheduled.

Filtering to see high-priority work

Use the filter controls at the top of the Kanban view to show only high priority tasks, or only tasks due this week. This is useful when you have a large number of tasks across projects and need to focus on what matters most right now.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Try it now โ€” Open the Kanban view and look at how many tasks are in each project. If any column is significantly heavier than the others, that is probably where your next planning session should focus.
