  # Choosing a destination for your new task
  By default, when you start capturing a new Task on mobile, we choose the current day's Jot for you as the destination.
  
  You can change that by [clicking on the Destination Note's name](https://images.amplenote.com/abc38cae-5b79-11ed-b709-4aba79ab6e09/c0e41667-1056-4ff9-9732-b8af657d59c7.png)  and selecting or even searching for your desired note:

  # Adding a Start Date/Due Date for Tasks using the Quick Task Bar
  There are two main ways to give your tasks a Start Date or a Start Time: 
  By using the Date & Time Picker;
  Or by using Natural Language Processing inside the Tasks' description.
  
  ## Adding Start Dates using the Date and Time Picker
  We're calling it "Quick Task Bar" because adding a new task is always ⚡ fast! When capturing a new to-do that needs a Start Time, you can choose between a few **levels of specificity**.
  
  ### 1. Creating tasks without a Start Date
  By default, creating a task in the Quick Task bar will result in a task without a Start Date. You just need to type out what the task should do and add it to the selected note.
  ### 2. Adding a Quick Start Date
  
  
  [Click on "Select a start time (optional)"](https://images.amplenote.com/abc38cae-5b79-11ed-b709-4aba79ab6e09/f7cd0629-e9ad-43f5-aa05-656903f6a56a.png)  and then choose between a list of preset dates to save some time.
  
  
  ### 3. Choosing a Custom Start Date
  Using the same menu described [above](#2._Adding_a_Quick_Start_Date) , scroll down and [select "Choose Day and time..."](https://images.amplenote.com/abc38cae-5b79-11ed-b709-4aba79ab6e09/a905b63b-1a75-44cb-82f7-9b43a3886e56.jpg) :
   
  
  This option works best when you know the Start Date, but don't care too much about the Start Time.Simply use a [Fuzzy Time](/help/tasks_and_todos_create_list#Set_a__Start_Time__(aka__Due_Date_))  from the options at the top of the menu.
  
  
  ### 4. Setting the Exact Date and Time
  Using the same menu described [above](#3._Choosing_a_Custom_Start_Date) , simply [choose the "Custom Time" option](https://images.amplenote.com/abc38cae-5b79-11ed-b709-4aba79ab6e09/8bd1841f-cb5b-48a7-bf3d-090db78942f9.png) :
