<p>Not all tasks are created equal. Use priority levels to make sure the most important things on your list stand out.</p>
<p>You can give your tasks one of four priority levels – 1 being the most important (marked as red) and 4 being the least important (no color).</p>
<p>Your highest priority tasks will appear near the top of each daily to-do list in your Today and Upcoming views (tasks with both a due date and time appear first) so you’ll know exactly what to work on first. You can also sort any of your project lists by priority.</p>
<h2>How to add or change a priority level</h2>
<p>When adding a task on any platform – web, desktop, or mobile – click or tap the flag icon and select the priority level you want. You can change the priority level any time by selecting the flag icon when editing a task.</p>
<h4>Quick Add Shortcut</h4>
<p>To add a task priority even faster, you can type <strong>p1</strong>, <strong>p2</strong>, or <strong>p3</strong> right into the task field. Todoist will automatically recognize and assign the right priority level when you create the task.</p>
