Embark on Your Productivity Quest

Welcome, Seeker of Focus, to Tips and Tricks! This is your map to unlocking peak productivity using TaskMore. Here, we transform daily chores into epic quests and mundane minutes into legendary focus sessions. Let's begin your ascent!

Revisit Your Onboarding

Need a refresher on TaskMore's core features? You can replay the introductory guide at any time. Look for the "Replay Intro Guide" link at the bottom of the sidebar. It's a great way to quickly re-familiarize yourself with the app's flow and discover how to make the most of your TaskMore experience.

The Art of Quest Crafting (Task Management)

Clarity is your sharpest blade. A well-defined quest is half conquered. Effective planning is the first step: lay out your week's objectives or daily plans using tasks.

Define Your Objectives

Use the "New Task" button (your Quest Scroll) to scribe your objectives. Be specific. Instead of "Work on project," try "Draft Chapter 1 of Project Nebula." The more precise your quest, the clearer your path to productivity.

Shatter Mighty Quests

Large, daunting quests can demoralize even the bravest hero. Break them into smaller, manageable sub-quests. "Write Novel" becomes "Outline Chapter 1," then "Write 500 words of Chapter 1," and so on. Each small victory fuels your momentum. Assign difficulties (Easy, Medium, Hard) to gauge effort and rewards appropriately for your plans.

Survey Your Battlefield (Task Board)

Visit the "Task Board". Your Backlog is where new quests await. Drag vital quests to In Progress when you begin your focus. Once vanquished, drag them to Completed to claim your spoils (XP and Coins!). This visual flow keeps you organized, motivated, and on top of your plans.

Wielding the Chrono-Toolkit (Pomodoro Timer)

Time is your most precious resource. The Chrono-Toolkit (Pomodoro Timer) helps you bend it to your will, enhancing focus for all your plans.

The Rhythm of Focus

The Pomodoro technique is a dance between intense focus and rejuvenating breaks. Click the "Settings" text next to the timer to customize your Focus Session and Break Duration. Experiment to find what rhythm best suits your heroic efforts and boosts your productivity. Default is 25 minutes of focus, 5 minutes of break.

Sanctuary of Concentration

During a Focus Session, banish distractions. Silence notifications, close unnecessary tabs. This is your sacred time to delve deep into your quest. The timer itself is a reminder of your commitment to focused, productive work.

The Power of Pause (and Reset)

Life happens. Use "Pause" if an urgent matter arises, but strive to return swiftly. "Reset" allows you to begin a new cycle, fresh and determined. Each completed Focus Session is a small win, recorded in your Archives and contributing to your legend of productivity.

The Wisdom of Statistics (Reports & Reflection)

Knowledge of past battles informs future victories and hones your planning skills. The "Statistics" (Reports) holds this wisdom.

Analyze Your Campaigns

Review your Task Completion Rate. Are you a swift conqueror of daily quests, or a strategist excelling in week-long campaigns? Use the filters to see trends. How many Focus Sessions did you complete? This data is not for judgment, but for insight into your productivity patterns.

Celebrate Milestones & Iterate

Acknowledge your achievements! Every completed task, every focus session, every coin earned is a step forward. If you notice patterns (e.g., struggling with 'Hard' tasks on certain days), adjust your strategy and plans. Perhaps those quests need more breaking down, or a different time of day for tackling to maximize productivity.

The Spoils of Victory (Gamification & Motivation)

Your journey towards enhanced productivity is rewarded. Streaks, Coins, XP, Levels, Titles, and Trophies are not mere trinkets; they are symbols of your dedication.

Fuel Your Ascent

Completing tasks and maintaining streaks earns you Coins and Experience Points (XP). Coins unlock treasures in the Item Shop – proud Trophies and Titles for your Trophy Room. XP fuels your Level, a testament to your growing mastery over your tasks and time.

Personalize Your Legend

Display a Title that reflects your current prowess. These elements make the journey more engaging and personal, boosting your motivation for productivity.

The Path of Consistency

The true power of TaskMore is unlocked through consistent daily engagement and planning. Small, regular efforts compound into monumental achievements in productivity. Embrace the journey, trust the process, and watch as you ascend to new heights of focus and master your plans. Your legend awaits!
