Magic Arrow to change direction of adding tasks to to-do lists

One of the most heated debate in the task management software is the argument between "top" and the "bottom" of the to-do list… and the problem is that there was no right answer… until today.

Today Nozbe – your favorite time and project management application introduced the "Magic Arrow"...

...and now Nozbe is one of the most flexible task and project management applications in the world.

Let me explain.

A year ago when I fist launched Nozbe I believed that when you’re compiling your to-do list , the newest tasks should go to the top of our list since they are… the newest and the "fresh" ones… the ones you want to get done right away.

I defended this point of view even when I knew most of the task managers and to-do list programs did it the other way round. It simply seemed more natural to me and thought it was the way it was supposed to be.

However you – my Nozbe users – thought otherwise and kept telling me you’d need to add tasks to the end of the list as well… and over the last months I found out that I’d need both, because…

...sometimes you need to add an action to the top of your list… and sometimes to the very bottom…

Nozbe’s response to that?

The "Magic Arrow" is born!

It’s placed right next to the “Quick Action" button and it reminds you that all the actions, notes and files you’re adding, will be added to the top of the list:

But now the “magic" begins – when you click on the arrow again, it changes the direction:

... and now everything will be added to the bottom of the list.

Isn’t that flexible? Isn’t that cool? I’m really loving this new small feature of Nozbe. You’ll love it, too. I’m sure of that.

The Magic Arrow is really magical because:

• you can change it’s direction anytime you want and it will work instantly – try it for yourself – add one action to the top of the list, change the direction of the magic arrow and the new action will be added to the bottom of the list
      
• it works for actions, notes and files… and next actions
      
• it really works for next actions – if you "star" an action to make it your next action, it will be added to the top or the bottom of the "next actions" list, depending on the state of your Magic Arrow

Hope you like this new enhancement. Together with the Magic Arrow we’ve introduced many fixes and improvements in Nozbe, especially concerning the recurring events as well as due dates and speed optimizations.
