Choose a place for a new plan

Answer two questions about your plan. If it has a finish point and several parts, a third question helps you choose between a list and a project. The recommendation describes a starting structure you can adapt in Mement.

This example works only on this page. It does not create or change anything in Mement.

Your example

Task: book the appointment

Task: book the appointment

Use a task for one action with a clear completion point. Add a date, reminder, priority or parent when you need it.

  • Done means the appointment is booked.

List: things to pack

A list groups tasks. It is useful when you want to check individual entries without turning the whole list into a larger project.

  • Passport
  • Charger
  • Travel tickets

Project: prepare the presentation

A project holds tasks and lists that contribute to one result. Name the result, then add actions that move it forward.

  • Result: the presentation is ready to deliver.
  • Task: agree on the main message.
  • List: check the room and equipment.

Area: home

An area holds ongoing responsibilities, including projects, lists and tasks. Unlike a project, the responsibility continues after one result is complete.

  • Project: repair the kitchen tap.
  • List: household supplies.
  • Task: book the annual inspection.

Habit: read for 20 minutes

Use a habit when you want to track a behavior over time, including how often you do it or how much progress you record. Choose a suitable metric and rhythm in the Habit editor. A repeated job with a separate completion each time, such as paying a bill, may fit a recurring task instead.

  • Example behavior: read regularly.
  • Example value goal: 20 minutes per day.
  • Review the habit-or-task example if you are choosing between a repeated job and a behavior to develop.
