# Tasks

Tasks are the steps you need to take to get closer to your Goal. The Task list for a particular Goal can be seen, as shown below, when you view a Goal in detail by clicking on it.

Tasks are ordered according to their [priority](/the-core/plan.md#priority) (determined by the due dates you set for them).

## Create a Task <a href="#create" id="create"></a>

To create a new Task, click the ***Add Task*** button at the bottom of the *tasks card* while viewing a Goal in detail. A modal will appear with fields to fill out; all fields are required. Once you've entered your Task details, click ***Save***.

## Manage a Task <a href="#manage" id="manage"></a>

Whether you are viewing the Task from within the Goal itself or via the  [Progress](/the-core/plan.md) tab located in the Plan section, you can use the context menu to the right of the Task to edit, delete, mark it as (in)complete or link files.&#x20;
