Tasks and microtasks
Tasks and microtasks, each in its place
A task takes time; a microtask takes 30 minutes or less. In duokim, both are born from your messages and meetings, and stay linked.
The difference
Task or microtask?
| Task | Microtask | |
|---|---|---|
| Duration | More than 30 minutes | 30 minutes or less (if it's 5 minutes or less, a «micro») |
| Example | Prepare a proposal for a client | Confirm the meeting time |
| How it's closed | With steps (subtasks) and a date | Often, in one go |
| Where it appears on Home | Today, Clear tasks | Today, Review |
Where they come from
From an email, a meeting or a sentence
