I currently use my Channels to mark each task's priority. They're not named Priority 1 / 2/ 3, but Urgent / Task / Projects. Would love to be able to auto-sort my day's tasks in that exact order, i.e. assign a priority weight to each Channel.

I would love to be able to put priority based on the 80/20 principle or Urgent and Important principle with e.g. flags per task and that they come up 'on top of the list' or very visible

And/or on objectives. Also due dates on objectives and a way to see if you are scheduling tasks beyond the due date.

This is my single major gripe with Sunsama (and the only reason ToDoist still tugs at my heart).

Having a priority status would be soooooo helpful! Thank you!

This is so important! I really just want a flag feature, maybe even with the limit of only being able to flag 3 tasks from each channel. A hard limit like that would be helpful in making sure I am truly prioritizing.

Please, add priority to the backlog tasks, it's the most basic thing that can lead to effective planning

priority and weight of tasks!! can sort through this on notion for free, would be great if that could be reflected in sunsama instead of having to do it separately in notion or in written plan

I want to bump this topic. It seems at odds with the mission of Sunsama and I appreciate the slowness in adoption, or the complete rejection of the idea. If you do implement this it should be slow and an ‘advanced’ feature. I say ‘advanced’ in that it comes after the core parts of Sunsama are achieved and only if it can be implemented in a way that doesn’t violate core principles.

Sunsama is supposed to be a confluence of someone’s flow so that is gives that someone a way to be in deep focus rather than bouncing between and across 5 apps.

I think maintaining the Sunsama philosophy and principles is necessary in considering this feature. Too many products focus on enterprise for business and not for the person. Sunsama resists the urge to become a hodgepodge of corporate interest features. The humanism is what works for me. But indeed, there is a version of this that I could greatly use.

If there was a feature like this it shouldn’t be a grand, global feature. What task you flag as important for today, or a future day, is not necessarily important then, much less after the current day ends. Things change and having to actively change the priority of something does not feel good to me. So therefore when the day comes and passes, just as auto-archiving pulls tasks off your list, Sunsama should pull the priority marker off so you can review its priority, in addition to its presence in Sunsama at all. I surely don’t want a mess of tasks and priorities like a lot of other apps become. Sunsama has solved this for me.

If it is done, it should be a subtle UI that serves a purpose, too. Theres too many icons. Maybe using a highlighting effect that doesn’t command your attention but is noticeable on a pro-longed glance. Sort of like a post-it but without the intense color. I have personally ran into this where, for whatever reason, I need something to be ‘freshened’ up in my list of things. In the physical world I will go rewrite, underline or circle something on my dry erase board. Or, I will write it on a post it note and stick it in a random place on my desk. So an idea in the digital world would be to right click on a task to flag, it prompts you to retype (or edit your task name - you have to retype it to flag it), it flags it subtly and decays over time. I think something like that is more in line with Sunsama philosophy and personally solves a problem I have with digital systems (vs physical systems).

Thanks for reading if you did.

I see you guys are working hard on many updates and improvements. But why not on the top voted feature request? I guarantee you, you're loosing users on this when people are researching for a new task manager.
