Master the Priorities Card in ClickUp My Tasks
The My Tasks Priorities card in ClickUp helps you rearrange tasks by importance so you always know what to focus on next. This guide shows you how to use the card to group, sort, and filter your work so you can stay organized and productive.
The Priorities card is part of the Organize tab in My Tasks and works together with your filters and other views. You can quickly move tasks between priority groups, hide empty groups, and customize your layout without changing the task details for anyone else.
Access the Priorities Card in ClickUp My Tasks
You can reach the Priorities card from your personal task hub. Follow these steps to get started:
- Open ClickUp and go to the sidebar.
- Select Home if it is not already open.
- Click the My Tasks tab.
- In My Tasks, open the Organize tab.
- Locate the Priorities card inside the Organize section.
Once the card is visible, it will show the task groups based on their current priority, along with tasks that have no priority assigned yet.
Understand How the ClickUp Priorities Card Works
The Priorities card reorganizes your My Tasks view by priority levels without altering priority settings for your entire workspace. It gives you a personal way to see what matters most.
Tasks are grouped into priority lanes, which commonly include:
- Urgent
- High
- Normal
- Low
- No priority (tasks without a priority set)
The card interacts with your existing My Tasks filters. Any filters you apply will still limit which tasks appear inside these priority groups.
Reorder Tasks by Priority in ClickUp
You can use the Priorities card to quickly rearrange which tasks are most important to you, without opening each task individually.
Drag and Drop Tasks Between Priority Groups
To change task importance directly on the card:
- Hover over a task in one priority lane.
- Click and hold the task row.
- Drag it to a different priority group.
- Release the task to drop it into the new group.
This updates the task’s priority field and immediately reorganizes your My Tasks view according to its new level.
Adjust Priority Order in Your Personal View
Your My Tasks Priorities card in ClickUp also lets you focus on the order of tasks inside each group. To fine-tune your personal workflow:
- Stay within one priority group, such as Urgent.
- Drag tasks up or down within the same group.
- Place the most important task for your day at the top.
This reordering affects only your personal My Tasks list. It does not change the priority level itself and does not modify views for other people.
Filter and Focus Using ClickUp My Tasks
Filtering My Tasks helps you see only the work you care about before using the Priorities card to fine-tune the order.
Apply Filters Before Using the Priorities Card
To combine filters with the Priorities card:
- In My Tasks, open the filter menu.
- Choose conditions such as due date, status, or location.
- Apply the filter so only matching tasks appear.
- Open the Organize tab and use the Priorities card to rearrange the remaining tasks.
Because filters are applied first, the Priorities card always shows a focused subset of your work.
Hide or Show Priority Groups
The Priorities card in ClickUp lets you hide priority groups that do not contain tasks or that you do not need to see right now.
- Look at the header of each priority lane.
- Use the provided control or menu to hide a group with no tasks or one you want out of view.
- Show the group again from the card options when you need it back.
Hiding groups keeps your view lean and lets you concentrate on the priorities that currently matter.
Work With Unscheduled and No Priority Tasks in ClickUp
Not every task has a due date or priority set. The Priorities card helps you deal with these items so nothing gets lost.
Find Tasks With No Priority Set
The No priority group collects tasks that do not yet have a priority value. To promote them into your planning:
- Open the Priorities card and scroll to the No priority group.
- Review each task and decide how important it is.
- Drag a task from No priority into the correct priority lane.
This is an effective way to clean up new or imported tasks that have not been categorized.
Organize Unscheduled Tasks Alongside Priorities
The My Tasks area also includes tools to manage tasks without a scheduled date. Combined with the Priorities card, you can:
- Filter by tasks without due dates.
- Use the Priorities card to assign priority levels.
- Then switch back to scheduling or calendar tools to add dates.
This process ensures each unscheduled task still has a clear level of importance so you can decide when to handle it later.
Tips to Get the Most From ClickUp My Tasks
The Priorities card becomes more powerful when combined with other features in your workspace.
- Review the Priorities card at the start and end of each day to keep your work aligned with current goals.
- Pair the card with filters such as Assigned to me or date ranges so you only prioritize what is actionable now.
- Regularly clear out the No priority group so new tasks do not accumulate without context.
