  Prefer a video explanation of how Task Score works? Shu Omi has you covered, in his video: [**10 Reasons Why Amplenote is My Favorite Productivity App**](https://youtu.be/bgYUZ53DMjo?si=HFYijweOM84JiCep&t=339 ) . <-- That Rich Footnote links to his his eighth reason, Task Score. The other 9 reasons are pretty good too though. 😊

  # How Task Score value changes over time
  When you create a task and Task Details, the task receives Task Score according to a schedule that increments task value at different velocity depending on what Task Context attributes have been set:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  One element of Task Score's magic is how it increases in proportion to how often you consider working on the project. If you follow our [recommended guidelines for naming tag hierarchies](/help/five_recommendations_tag_hierarchy_naming) , you might tag a note as todo/project-name, even if you don't expect to work on it soon. For example, our CEO has a note entitled "Bill's Amplenote plugin wish list 2023" that is tagged todo/amplenote. It is unlikely that the team will have time to work on any of these plugins in the next 3 months. But, since Task Score only accumulates on days when the note containing the tasks is opened, the tasks will not visibly clutter the "Work" Task Domain. Since the note will be seldom opened until we're ready to start working on its tasks, their Task Score will impart a lower priority to these tasks compared to more immediately actionable tasks. When our team has time to start implementing these "best plugin" ideas, the note will be opened daily, and its associated tasks will rapidly ascend the [Task Domain](/help/using_calendar_task_domains)  in which their tag is located.
  
  ## Color Coding + Priority
  As your Task Points hit certain thresholds, the color associated with the task changes. This helps draw attention to tasks that are urgent and important, or have been on your list for a while. 
  
  Red  - 10 or more Task Score
  Gold - 5 or more Task Score
  Blue - 2 or more Task Score
  Gray - 1 or more Task Score

  ## How can I edit task score?
  Click the number in the Task Score area, then enter a new score:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  ### Editing Task Score in bulk
  Life tends to shift priorities very often and projects tend to climb up and down the scale of actionability. To quickly adjust the Task Score of all tasks in a note in a fell swoop, use the per-note Task Score Adjustment option:
  
  
  Score can be increased or decreased either as a relative percentage or an absolute value number.
