Repeating task: replace the water filter
Use a recurring task when each occurrence is a piece of work to complete. Its repeat rule belongs to the task schedule.
- Example: replace the filter every three months.
- Completion is recorded as task completion.
Habit: practise a language
Use a habit to follow a routine across eligible days or periods. Choose a schedule, then mark a completed practice or enter a numeric progress value.
- Example: practise on three days each week.
- Habit consistency appears separately from task completion.
Habit with a value: read for 20 minutes
Use duration, count or quantity when the amount matters. A duration habit records minutes; a quantity habit uses your chosen unit.
- Record 10 minutes now and another 10 later.
- The goal period determines which entries are added together.
