Instructions

Auto-Organize Your To-Dos (Find & Tag Tasks)

Keep your task list tidy without lifting a finger. This template looks through your tasks using simple rules you choose (like “due today” or “overdue”) and adds the tag(s) you want. It’s great for keeping similar tasks grouped together, making them easier to see, filter, and act on.

What it does

Finds tasks that match the rule you set (you choose the rule).

Adds one or more tags to every matching task.

Can run on a schedule or as part of a larger flow, so your list stays organized automatically.

Good fits

You like clean lists and clear priorities.

You want subtasks highlighted so they don’t get lost.

You prefer “set it and forget it” organization.

Popular ready-made rules people use

Due today → add a tag like “Today” or “High priority”.

Overdue → add “Overdue” or “🔥 Needs attention”.

No date set → add “Someday/Maybe” so unscheduled tasks are easy to find.

Only subtasks (hide parents) → add “Subtask” for quick filtering.

This week → add “This week” to anything due in the next 7 days.

Top priority → add “Important” to your highest-priority tasks.

By project (e.g., “Work”) → add a project-specific tag like “Work focus”.

By topic label (e.g., “email”) + today → add “Quick wins” so you can batch them.

Recently added (e.g., created today) → add “New” to review at day’s end.

Stale tasks (e.g., added 30+ days ago) → add “Review” so nothing lingers.

How to make it yours

Pick the rule that matches what you want to see.

Choose the tag(s) to add.

Decide when it should run (for example, daily in the morning).

Save. Your list will keep itself in shape.
