Capture the action while it is clear
A task may arrive in the middle of something else. Say or type what you need to do, instead of stopping to choose the right list and fill in every field first.
Try: “Add a task to send the revised outline tomorrow.” Tjati prepares useful structure from the request. Review the result, especially when timing or meaning needs clarification.
Keep the reason beside the reminder
The next action is easier to understand when you can see the project, goal or life area behind it. Notes can hold the background you will need when you return.
A task can be useful on its own too. Tjati's structure is there for the work that benefits from it; an errand does not need to become a project just to belong.
Choose what deserves attention now
The Today view brings daily work into focus, while the Tasks view lets you return to the wider list and its context. Ask for a briefing when you want to review what is due and what needs attention.
You still choose the trade-offs. A task list can hold the commitments, but it cannot decide how much belongs in the day you actually have.
