My work
My day, and your own lists with saved filters, sort and view.
My work (/my-work) gathers what's yours across every project. In the sidebar it sits under the My work heading: My day first, then your own lists.
My day has four parts, top to bottom: Today, Waiting on me, Captured, then everything assigned to you. Each title carries its count, like "Today · 2 of 5 done" or "Waiting on me · 3".
TodayLink to this section
Your open issues that are due today or overdue. What you closed today stays in the list, struck through, and the title counts your progress, like "2 of 5 done". Today only appears when at least one project has a due date field.
Waiting on meLink to this section
Issues where someone mentioned you (@ and your login in a comment, or in a description someone else wrote) and you haven't commented since. Newest first, with who asked and when. Reply in a comment and the issue leaves the list.
CapturedLink to this section
Lines you jotted down with Capture. Each can become a task or be marked done.
Assigned to meLink to this section
Everything else assigned to you, in a full list with the usual search, filters, grouping and views.
Your listsLink to this section
A list under My work is a named list with its own filters, sort, grouping and view, like "due today or overdue" or "tagged review, oldest first". Each one shows in the sidebar under My day with its open-task count, when sidebar counts are on in Settings. On a phone, where the sidebar is hidden, they show as a row of chips at the top of My work.
Three lists are there to start with: Today, Overdue and Due today or overdue. Each has an Assignee: Me filter you can see and change. They're ordinary lists, so you can rename, change, reorder or delete them.
- Open any list: My day's Assigned to me, an area, an epic, or one of your lists.
- Set the filters, grouping and sort you want, and the view (list, board or calendar).
- Click Save to My work in the toolbar, name the list and click Save list.
You can also start a list from nothing. Click Create a new list at the end of the My work group in the sidebar (on a phone, the New list chip). A new list opens with everything in every project and no filters. Type its name where the title goes, set the toolbar the way you want it, then click Save at the top. The list joins the sidebar and the page switches to it. Cancel drops it and takes you back to where you were, or to My day. Save waits for a name: until you type one, it's greyed out with "Name the list to save it" beside it.
If you leave a new list after naming it or changing its toolbar, by a link, the sidebar, ⌘K or the back button, Suru Me asks Save this list? first. Save keeps it and carries on to where you were going (or, if the list has no name yet, takes you back to its name field), Discard carries on without it, and Keep editing stays put. An open list with changes you haven't kept asks the same, with Update list in place of Save. Closing or reloading the tab gets your browser's own warning instead. Changing the list's own filters, sort or view never asks.
A list starts from everything in every project. Saved from My day, it keeps the Assignee: Me filter; saved from an area, it gets that area's Project and Area filters; saved from a project's Unsorted list, an epic or a view, it keeps that page's own search in its query. Either way it shows the same work.
To change a list, open it and change the toolbar. Update list appears; click it to keep the change, or click the list in the sidebar again to go back to how it was saved.
Click an open list's title to rename it. Right-click a list in the sidebar to rename, duplicate, move it up or down, or delete it. Change icon in the same menu picks the list's icon from a grid; a duplicate keeps it. Deleting a list never touches its tasks. Restore default lists, in the same menu and in Settings under Lists, brings back Today, Overdue and Due today or overdue if you deleted them, and leaves your other lists alone.
A list opens at /my-work?list=<id> with its filters in the address. Old /my-work?due=today and /my-work?due=overdue links open the Today and Overdue lists.
