How Tasks, Kanban and the Calendar relate

One task, three views — a list, a board, and a date on the calendar.

4 min readUpdated Aug 2026

Tasks, the Kanban board and the Calendar are not three separate to-do systems. They're three lenses on the same set of tasks, so you can work whichever way suits the moment.

The task itself

Every task can carry a priority (high / medium / low), an energy level, and an @context tag like @home or @calls. High-priority, urgent tasks surface in the Eisenhower matrix so you see what to do first.

On the board

The same task is a card on the Kanban board. Drag it across Todo → In Progress → Done to move it through your workflow. Priority and context stay visible on the card.

On the calendar

Give a task a due date and it appears on the Calendar alongside your events — one grid for everything that's happening and everything that's due. Edit the task from any of the three views and the others follow.

Use the board when you're working through things, the calendar when you're planning around dates, and the task list when you're triaging by priority. Same data, no duplication.
