Pro tip

Use keyboard shortcuts to speed up your workflow. For instance, press "N" to quickly create a new task and "M" to create a new meeting note.

Common mistake to avoid

Avoid creating overly vague tasks. The AI breakdown works best with clear, specific descriptions. Instead of "Work on project," specify "Draft the project proposal." This will yield better results from the AI.
