Master My Tasks in ClickUp
The My Tasks feature in ClickUp gives you a personal command center for everything assigned to you across all your spaces, folders, and lists. This guide shows you how to use My Tasks to organize work, switch views, and manage your daily priorities efficiently.
What is My Tasks in ClickUp?
My Tasks in ClickUp is a dedicated area that displays all tasks and reminders assigned to you. Instead of jumping between multiple views, you can see everything you are responsible for in one place, organized by due date, status, or custom groupings.
You can access My Tasks from the sidebar. It’s a personal view, so changes you make there do not affect other people’s views of the same tasks.
Open and navigate My Tasks in ClickUp
Follow these steps to open and move around My Tasks in ClickUp:
- Open your workspace and look at the left sidebar.
- Click the Home icon or avatar area if visible.
- Select My Tasks from the personal navigation section.
- Use the top bar to switch between different layout views and groupings.
Once open, you will see tasks assigned to you from all spaces. You can change how they are sorted, filtered, and grouped without impacting other views in ClickUp.
Choose your My Tasks layout views in ClickUp
My Tasks supports several layout views so you can work the way that suits you best. In ClickUp, these layouts help you tailor how information is displayed while keeping your task list focused on your own work.
List view for structured task lists
The default layout for many people is a list-style view. In My Tasks, this view shows each task in rows with key details such as:
- Task name
- Status
- Due date
- Priority
- Location (space, folder, list)
Use List view in ClickUp when you need a clean, sortable overview of all your open tasks.
Board view for visual workflows
Board view displays your tasks on columns that represent a field such as status or due date. To use Board view in My Tasks in ClickUp:
- Open My Tasks.
- Select Board from the layout options at the top.
- Drag and drop tasks between columns to update their status or other grouping fields.
This layout is ideal if you like a kanban-style workflow for your personal tasks.
Other available layouts in ClickUp
Depending on your plan and workspace settings, you may also see additional layout options such as:
- Calendar to view tasks by date.
- Table to manage tasks in a spreadsheet-like format.
- Other specialized views that may be enabled in your ClickUp workspace.
You can switch layouts anytime from the top of the My Tasks page without losing your configuration.
Group tasks in My Tasks in ClickUp
Grouping helps you organize your assigned work in ClickUp by specific criteria. In My Tasks, groups create sections that you can collapse or expand, helping you focus on what matters most.
Common grouping options
Some of the most useful ways to group in My Tasks include:
- Due date: Organize by Today, Overdue, Tomorrow, and future dates.
- Status: Group by workflow stage such as To do, In progress, and Complete.
- Priority: See urgent items first.
- List or Location: Understand which project or list each task belongs to.
To choose a grouping option in My Tasks in ClickUp, open the grouping menu at the top of the view and select your preferred field.
Regroup tasks manually
In some groupings, you can drag and drop tasks between sections. When you do this in ClickUp, the corresponding field is updated automatically. For example:
- If you drag a task from Today to Tomorrow in a due date grouping, the due date changes.
- If you move a task from To do to In progress in a status grouping, the status field updates.
These changes apply everywhere the task appears, not only in My Tasks.
Filter and sort My Tasks in ClickUp
My Tasks gives you flexible filtering and sorting options so you can narrow down your personal workload in ClickUp.
Apply filters
Use filters to show only the tasks that match certain conditions. Common filters include:
- Status (for example, hide closed tasks).
- Priority level.
- Due date ranges such as this week or next month.
- Tags or other custom fields, when available.
To add a filter:
- Click the filter icon or filter bar at the top of My Tasks in ClickUp.
- Choose the field you want to filter by.
- Select the values to include.
- Combine multiple filters to refine your view further.
Sort your personal tasks
Sorting changes the order of tasks within each group or across the whole view. You can sort by:
- Due date
- Priority
- Task name
- Creation date
Set your preferred sort option from the sort menu at the top of the My Tasks view. In ClickUp, you can combine grouping and sorting for very fine control over your task list.
Use sections and subtasks in My Tasks
My Tasks displays main tasks and subtasks assigned to you from anywhere in ClickUp. This helps you see both high-level responsibilities and detailed action items.
Manage subtasks from My Tasks
When subtasks are assigned directly to you, they appear alongside other tasks in My Tasks. You can:
- Open the task to see its full details and hierarchy.
- Update status or due date from the list or board view.
- Complete subtasks without leaving My Tasks in ClickUp.
Depending on your workspace settings, subtasks can be displayed nested under parent tasks or as separate items. You can adjust this from the view options.
Customize your personal productivity workflow in ClickUp
My Tasks is designed to support your own way of working inside ClickUp. You can create a repeatable routine using the tools described above.
Example daily routine using My Tasks
- Start your day: Open My Tasks in ClickUp and group by due date.
- Review overdue and today: Check what is late and what is due today, then adjust due dates if needed.
- Prioritize: Set or update priorities, and optionally group by priority.
- Focus: Filter by active statuses to hide completed work.
- End of day review: Mark completed tasks, push dates where required, and review tomorrow’s list.
Because My Tasks is personal, you can fine-tune it without changing project-level views that teammates rely on.
