actualNoteContentPart: # Why should I care about Task Domains? What's their purpose?
  Task Domains exist in order to allow you to specify all of the **notes** and **tags** that contain tasks you aspire to get done within a particular realm of your life. 
  
  It's expected that a broad Task Domain like "Work" will include numerous disparate projects: some old, some new, some still relevant, some not. Don't worry -- once you're interacting with the Task Domain in [Calendar View mode](/help/calendar_visual_guided_walkthrough) , we make it super fast to zoom in from the entire contents of the Task Domain, [down to the particular project](https://www.amplenote.com/help/calendar_visual_guided_walkthrough#Active_Note_Selector)  (i.e., note or tag) so you can focus on that particular project. As described in the [Active Tag Selector section of the Calendar Visual Guide](https://www.amplenote.com/help/calendar_visual_guided_walkthrough#Active_Tag_Selector) , you can simply hold shift and click on the tag's checkbox to focus exclusively on tasks within notes that contain that tag.
  
  As of 2021, Amplenote allows you to configure up to three separate Task Domains:
  
  
  Each of the colored boxes represents one Task Domain you can configure. 
  
  
  When you add a **note** to a Task Domain, the tasks from that note will be eligible to appear on the [Calendar Sidebar Task List](https://www.amplenote.com/help/calendar_visual_guided_walkthrough#Calendar_Sidebar_Task_List)  when you have the Task Domain selected. Tasks that have a Start Time set (either by setting [Start Time explicitly in the Task Details](https://images.amplenote.com/e0b7ce82-60eb-11eb-bad5-2a844617cbef/70fdbce2-e67c-407c-be28-2537b1152bd4.png) , or by dragging the task onto the calendar), the task will be synced to all the calendars specified in the "Calendar Sync" region of the Task Domain. Tasks that are scheduled are removed from list of tasks in the Calendar Sidebar since there is no reason to think about them further until the time comes that you chose to work on them.
  
  When you add a **tag** to a Task Domain, Amplenote will scan all of the notes that contain that tag in search of tasks. For example, if you add todo/marketing as a tag in your Task Domain, and you have a note tagged with todo/marketing/client-a that contains 10 tasks, those 10 tasks will show up in the Calendar Sidebar Task List unless they have a Start Time already set, in which case they will show up on the calendar itself.
