📋 3 types of tasks and how to use them

In GoalMap, tasks can be divided into three types based on their time and recurrence settings:

• Single-day tasks
• Recurring tasks
• Range tasks

Each type of task fits different scenarios 😊

✨ How to create them?

When creating a task, simply choose the time and recurrence options:

• Select Single-day → create a single-day task
• Select Range, with no recurrence → create a range task
• Select Range and set recurrence → create a recurring task

👉 Tip: if no time is set, the task will become an “unscheduled task” and won’t appear on the calendar.

📍 Single-day tasks

Best for one-off or time-specific tasks that need to be completed on a certain day.
Examples:

• May 17: go to the bank for an appointment
• August 28: attend a friend’s wedding

🔄 Recurring tasks

Recurring tasks are best for building habits or handling things you need to stick with over time.
Examples:

• Read for half an hour every night at 10 PM
• Go to the gym every Wednesday and Friday
• Do a budget review on the last day of each month

In GoalMap, you can set up recurrence in flexible ways:

• Every day
• Certain days of the week
• Every few days
• Multiple times per day, week, or month
• More recurrence options are available in the app

👉 Recurrence is highly flexible — the above are just common examples. For more advanced customization, see How to use custom frequency.

📅 Range tasks

Best for tasks that require multiple days to complete, often for projects or phased work.
Simply choose a start date and an end date (while keeping recurrence set to “None”), and the task will appear on your calendar and monthly view throughout that period.

Examples:

• Prepare for final exams: from May 11 to May 17, review different subjects each day
• Plan a family gathering: start two weeks ahead to arrange shopping, preparation, and invitations

🌱 Final note

Different task types help you manage your goals more flexibly in different scenarios:

• Single-day → one-off events
• Recurring → habits and routines
• Range → projects or multi-day tasks

Choose the right task type, and you’ll find that achieving your goals becomes easier and more organized ✨
