Priorities
Five levels, P0 through P4, plus none. P0 is drop-everything and wears a flame; P1 is the one that earns confetti when you finish it.

P0 down to P4, and no priority at all, which is the honest answer for most tasks. Priority shows on the row, sorts and filters everywhere, and feeds the Dashboard and Reports charts.
- P0 is drop-everything. It does not show a number like the others: it renders as a flame and sorts above everything else.
- P1 is today's real work, and the only level that celebrates when you finish it.
- P2 and P3 are ordinary work, in the order you would pick them up.
- P4 is someday. Useful for keeping a thought without pretending it is scheduled.
- None is fine. A priority on every task is the same as a priority on none of them.
Watch out
If more than a couple of things are P0 at once, none of them really are. The flame only works while it is rare.
Three ways, depending on how many tasks you are dealing with.
- While capturing, by typing p1, or any level down to p0, into the name after ⌘ K. See natural-language entry.
- On the task, from the priority control in the drawer or on the row.
- Across a selection, with bulk actions, which is how you re-triage a whole list at once.
- Or let Didi do it. Project Blueprint assigns a priority to every task it drafts, so a project arrives already triaged rather than as a flat list you have to rank yourself.
Yes. Set a default priority on your profile and every new task opens at that level instead of none, which you can still change before saving. It suits people whose work is mostly one shape, and it is worth leaving unset if yours is not.
Finishing a P1 fires Celebration Mode. It is the one level that gets a visible reward, because the point of marking something P1 is that finishing it should feel like something.
