How to organize teacher tasks and notes

Keep the photocopying, the forms and the note you wrote after fourth period attached to the teaching they belong to.

The steps
  1. Add tasks where you notice them

    A task can carry a status, a priority, a category and a due date, and can belong to a class or a lesson. Today and This week answer what is actually due; the other views cover the rest.

  2. Group longer work into a project

    A field trip or a report cycle is a project with a deadline and its own tasks. A task inside a project is the same record as a standalone task, so nothing is duplicated and the project shows real progress from the state of its tasks.

  3. Add preparation tasks from the lesson

    On a lesson, the Related tasks section adds a prep task that belongs to that lesson. It is waiting there next time you open it.

  4. Write notes where they belong

    Quick note captures a thought from anywhere in the planner. A note written on a lesson shows on that lesson and on the unit it belongs to. A note about nothing in particular stays a general note.

  5. Pin what matters and find the rest

    Pinned notes come first wherever they appear. In the Notes view you can filter by pinned, lesson, unit or general, and search the full text of every note.

Questions
Is a task inside a project a separate record?
No. It is the same task, shown in the project as well, so a project can hold its tasks without duplicating them.
If I take a note off a lesson, do I lose it?
No. Only that one link is removed. The note stays, and stays attached to the unit and class it is still about.
