What are "Tasks"?
Tasks allow you to further break down your tracked time, not only by projects but also by adding specific tasks that are part of a larger project. This feature helps you categorize your time more effectively. Tasks are created and used in a manner similar to projects but offer additional customization options. Here's what you can do with tasks:

Set Urgency Levels:
Tasks can be categorized by urgency level - Low, Medium, High, or ASAP - helping prioritize work.
