actualNoteContentPart: ## 🏋️‍♀️  Phase III: Make It Actionable. "Tasks" in Amplenote
  Once your best ideas are identified, what to do with them? This is where most note taking apps exit stage right. Yes, all of the popular apps listed above offer their own rudimentary solutions for todos. Invariably, these implementations lack even the most basic functionality that real world use requires. No task recurrence. No history of past tasks complete (except to the extent the user fashions their own bespoke system). Little-to-no ability to extract tasks from the notes in which they reside. Todos in note taking apps are just a sad lot.
  
  When ambitious people decide they want to create and manage tasks like a pro, they must turn to a third set of apps. Popular to-do list apps in 2020 include **Things**, **Todoist**, **MinimaList**, and **Google Tasks**.
  
  In Amplenote, the "Make it Actionable" step is labeled **Tasks**, and it shows you every task from any note with a particular tag (or in a particular date range):
  
  
  "Tasks" mode allows browsing to the different "productivity centers" in your life, which can be made into Shortcuts for easy access. For example, I've setup Shortcuts to my todo lists for "Personal" tasks (hobbies, family ideas, errands), "Alloy" tasks (mostly business), and programming tasks
  
  
  Amplenote's Tasks mode is a hit among the action-oriented. This isn't about collection, research, or refinement -- it's about getting shit done. Specifically, it's about working on (or intentionally dismissing!) **the most Important tasks** that your past self identified. Not just whatever came up recently. "Tasks" mode helps disciplined users realize their long-term ambitions while not letting urgent or due tasks fall through the cracks. 
  
  Every task in Amplenote comes standard [with recurrence built-in, plus a mini-Eisenhower matrix](https://images.amplenote.com/ca37a49a-ec04-11ea-be19-e25d04d7a2b3/be39494a-bb40-4382-9c71-3003b9352be0.png)  so our Task Score system can use the wisdom of your past self to present the task to your present self when it will be relevant to your current context (e.g., hobby-related tasks in the evenings).
