What should I leave for myself before switching tasks?

Write down where you stopped, one next action and where the materials are. When you return, the next action gives you somewhere concrete to start. A task bookmark keeps these notes together so you can save and reopen them.

How to use it

  1. Name the task and describe where you stopped.
  2. Write one next action, such as “check row three against the receipt,” and note where the materials are.
  3. Save on this device. Reopen the bookmark when you return and mark it complete when finished.

Worked example

Task: Prepare an expense claim.

Where I stopped: Found the ticket; have not checked the amount.

Next action: Open the sheet and check row three against the ticket.

Materials: The September expenses folder on my desktop.

This is a fictional worked example. Bookmarks do not read your files, track progress automatically or send background reminders. Saved entries are included in local backups. Save unfinished input before leaving.
