Understand Task Prioritization

TaskforUs uses the 2-5 Rule to prioritize tasks: - Each task is assigned a time unit (days, weeks, months, or years). - You should act within 2 to 5 of those units (e.g., a “weekly” task should be done every 2-5 weeks). - For Fix Mode tasks, priority increases as the set date approaches, peaking on the day itself. - Additional factors, such as priority level (Low, Medium, High) and due date proximity, also influence the order. - Priorities are recalculated each time you view your list, ensuring that the most important tasks are always at the top.
