What Are Tasks?

Tasks are an essential part of the Skylight Calendar and allow you to keep track of happenings in your life through Chores and Routines. 

Routines are sets of tasks that occur around the same time of day, which repeat on a daily basis. 

For example, if you have children, this is a great place to set up things like "Brush Teeth", "Put lunch in school bag", "put on pajamas", etc. Since these are things they will have to do every day, sometimes multiple times a day, they're better a better fit for Routines than Chores.

Chores are sets of tasks that occur at the time of your choosing, can be set to repeat or not and usually used for specific things that need to be done that aren't a regular habit.

Chores can be things like "Clean the garage", "mow the lawn" or other events that might occur with frequency, but don't quite require repetition on a daily basis. You can, however, set Chores to occur as frequently as you'd like. Learn more about Chores here.
