Master the My Work card in ClickUp
The My Work card in ClickUp helps you quickly see and manage everything assigned to you across all Spaces, Folders, and Lists. This guide explains how to open, filter, and customize My Work so you can stay on top of tasks, subtasks, and reminders in one place.
What the My Work card in ClickUp shows
The My Work card is a personal, read-only view of your workload. It organizes items assigned to you into clear sections and timeframes so you always know what to focus on next.
My Work can display:
- Tasks, subtasks, and checklist items
- Reminders assigned to you
- Items assigned to one or more assignees
- Items without due dates, if you choose to show them
Because this card is read-only, you will use it to monitor and open work items, not to rearrange or structurally change them. Any updates you make inside a task—such as status or due date—are reflected back in the original location.
How to open the My Work card in ClickUp
You can access My Work from multiple places so it is always close at hand.
Open My Work from Home in ClickUp
- From the left sidebar, click Home.
- In the Home screen, locate the My Work card.
- Expand or collapse sections to see your upcoming and overdue items.
Open My Work from the ClickUp Sidebar
- Look at the left sidebar of your ClickUp workspace.
- Click the Home icon, then select My Work within that view.
- Use this card as your daily hub to launch into any assigned item.
Understand the My Work layout in ClickUp
My Work in ClickUp is divided into logical sections and date ranges. This structure helps you quickly scan your workload without digging through many Lists or views.
Sections in My Work
By default, you will see these sections:
- To do: Work that still needs to be completed.
- Done: Items already completed and marked with a done status.
- Delegated: Items you created but are assigned to someone else, depending on your configuration.
Within these sections, work is grouped into timeframes.
Timeframes in the ClickUp My Work card
Each section of My Work includes several time groupings:
- Earlier this week
- Yesterday
- Today
- Tomorrow
- Later this week
- Next week
- Unscheduled (for items without a due date if you choose to show them)
These groupings help you visualize your workload day by day and week by week.
How to filter My Work in ClickUp
Filters allow you to narrow which tasks and reminders you see in the My Work card.
Use basic filters in the ClickUp My Work card
- Open Home and locate the My Work card.
- At the top of the card, find the filter controls.
- Select filters such as:
- Task type (tasks, subtasks, reminders)
- Show done or hide completed items
- Include or exclude reminders
- The card updates instantly to match your criteria.
Filter by location and type in ClickUp
You can also control what parts of your workspace are included:
- Show items from all Spaces or selected Spaces.
- Include or hide items from certain Folders and Lists.
- Toggle between showing only tasks or including checklist items and reminders.
Combining filters lets you turn the My Work card into a focused daily view or a broader weekly planning tool.
