How to Use ClickUp Home Effectively
ClickUp Home is your personal command center, helping you quickly decide what to work on next, keep track of reminders, and review important work in one place.
This guide walks you through how to open, customize, and use Home so you can stay focused and organized every day.
Access ClickUp Home
You can open the Home page from anywhere in your Workspace.
- Log in to your Workspace.
- Look at the left sidebar.
- Click the Home icon to open your ClickUp Home dashboard.
Home loads with a set of default widgets so you can immediately see your most important items.
Understand the ClickUp Home Layout
The layout of ClickUp Home is built around widgets you can show, hide, and rearrange. Depending on your plan and role, you may see different options, but the overall structure is similar.
- A header area with filters and view controls.
- A main content area with widgets in columns.
- Task-focused sections that show what needs your attention.
Each widget can be expanded, collapsed, or positioned so your most important information is always visible.
Key Widgets in ClickUp Home
Home includes several core widgets that highlight different types of work and reminders.
Today and Upcoming in ClickUp Home
The Today and Upcoming sections help you focus on near-term work.
- Today shows items due today or scheduled for today.
- Upcoming groups items that are due or scheduled in the near future.
These sections commonly include:
- Tasks assigned to you with due dates.
- Reminders that you set for specific times.
- Items you have scheduled on your calendar.
Use these sections to decide your priorities at the start of each day.
Overdue and Unscheduled Items
Home also highlights items that may need extra attention.
- Overdue: Tasks or reminders that have passed their due date.
- Unscheduled: Items that do not yet have a date but are still assigned to you.
Review these lists frequently so nothing falls through the cracks.
Reminders in ClickUp Home
Reminders are lightweight personal items that can be created quickly and managed directly from Home.
- Open the Home page.
- Use the option to add a new reminder.
- Set a title, optional description, and date or time.
From Home you can:
- Complete reminders when finished.
- Reschedule them if you need more time.
- Convert important reminders into full tasks in your Workspace.
Work with Tasks from ClickUp Home
Home provides a focused place to manage tasks assigned to you without leaving the page.
Update Task Statuses
To update a task from Home:
- Locate the task in the appropriate widget, such as Today or Overdue.
- Click the task’s status field.
- Select the new status that reflects the current progress.
This keeps your task workflow accurate while saving time that would be spent navigating through Spaces and Folders.
Open Task Details
When you need more context, you can open the full task view.
- Click a task name in any Home widget.
- Review the description, comments, and custom fields.
- Make updates such as adding assignees, attachments, or subtasks.
After closing the task, you are returned to the same place on Home, so you can move smoothly through your list.
Customize ClickUp Home Widgets
You can tailor the Home experience so it matches how you work best.
Show or Hide Widgets
To control which sections display on your ClickUp Home page:
- Open Home in your Workspace.
- Locate the layout or widget settings control, usually near the top of the page.
- Toggle individual widgets on or off.
Hiding less relevant sections keeps the page simple and focused on what you care about most.
Reorder Widgets in ClickUp Home
To change the position of widgets:
- Hover over the header area of a widget.
- Drag the widget to a new location in the layout.
- Drop it where you want it to appear.
Place high-priority widgets like Today, Overdue, or your reminders at the top so they are always in view.
Filter and Sort Data
Depending on your plan, you may be able to filter or sort the information displayed on Home.
- Filter by status to only see items that are still open.
- Sort tasks by due date, priority, or other options.
- Adjust date ranges to focus on a specific timeframe.
These controls allow you to adapt Home to different work styles without changing your underlying structure.
Best Practices for Using ClickUp Home
Use these habits to get the most from your daily workflow.
- Start your day in Home: Review Today, Upcoming, and Overdue items.
- Convert reminders into tasks when they become more complex or involve other people.
- Keep statuses updated directly from Home to maintain accurate reporting.
- Revisit Unscheduled items weekly to assign dates or close them if they are no longer needed.
By regularly reviewing these sections, you ensure that your ClickUp setup always reflects your real work.
