Quire My Tasks II: Redesign the way you kickstart a day
Last updated: July 22, 2026
My Tasks is your personal task list in Quire. It pulls together everything assigned to you, created by you with dates, and your private tasks, from every project into one place. Add tasks straight to it with the m shortcut, and use it as a GTD-style inbox to start each day focused.
Drum roll please! 🥁🥁🥁 Today we’re thrilled to introduce you with the brand-new renovated Quire My Tasks II. Now you can have your own Quire to-do list to keep track of all the tasks that are related to you.
My Tasks is a default task list in Quire. Before, you have to select a project before adding a task. However, with the newly redesigned My Tasks, you can directly add a task to Quire without being specific about the project. Just select Add to My Tasks or use the shortcut m and the newly created task will be added to My Tasks list instead of the project you are working on.
It saves the small hunts that add up. McKinsey found that knowledge workers lose nearly 20% of the week just tracking down information and tasks, and a single personal list is one less place to go looking.
The new My Tasks allows you to capture your ideas and put them in an unorganized folder so that your mind wouldn’t be too occupied. You can go back to the list in the future to filter out and work on the cluttered tasks that previously caught your attention.
Also, we introduced a new short cut to launch and close My Tasks immediately no matter which project you're working on. Just hit = and voila, there you go.
What tasks will be included in My Tasks?
My Tasks will include tasks that are assigned to you, created by you without assignees with start or due dates in any project and your personal tasks. Those tasks can belong to a specific project or just be the personal tasks without being assigned to a project.
All of the tasks in My Tasks share the same hierarchical layout with the project task list. Plus, you can keep your task list in order by rearranging the tasks intuitively with drag-and-drop function whenever you need.

How can I make the best out of the new My Tasks?
Quickly check out your personal to-do list at a glance
When it comes to project management, getting started is always the hardest part. It is too easy to get lost at the information maze and a lot task list. However, with the revamped My Tasks, you can view the tasks that are relevant to you only, and start from there. You can also keep the list in order by rearranging tasks with drag-and-drop whenever you need.
Asana ships a similar My Tasks view and ClickUp calls its version Home, both pulling your assigned work into one personal cross-project list. Quire's My Tasks goes a step further as a quick-add inbox: you can drop in a task with the m shortcut without picking a project first, hold private tasks that never belong to any project, and complete them right there.
A practical implementation of GTD Method
If you’re a diehard fan of GTD Method, you already know the first step of this phenomenon organizing method. Don’t think twice, just list everything out so you can stop feeling overwhelmed with all of the tasks and thoughts. Quire My Tasks II serves as a central Inbox section for you to dump your ideas to and later, you can go back to review the task list and transfer to relevant projects.
One of the best enhancements with Quire My Tasks is the ability to directly complete the task. If the task is just temporary or it’s your personal task, you don’t have to transfer it to another project, just work on the task in the My Tasks and complete it when you’re done.
Keep track of other team members’ workload
A lot of Quireans (yes, that’s you - Quire users!) have raised the attention to Quire Team about the ability of viewing the tasks of other colleagues in the same organization or project. With the new My Tasks, you can keep track of everyone’s progress by viewing their tasks list. As for a project manager, being able to know who is doing what is very critical in order to create a smooth and streamlined workflow.
That’s all for today! We hope you like the new My Tasks! Everything's coming together because of you and your support! Thank you for being a part of another milestone for Quire!
