# Task priority

## What is task priority in Ellie?

Task priority allows you to add an indicator to a task to specify priority of a task

Once a priority is set on a task, you'll see a small colored indicator that indicates the priority of the task. This is helpful to see at a glance what you should be prioritizing when planning out your day.

## How to enable task priority

Task priority is off by default and can be enabled by going to "Power features" -> "Enable task priority"

Once enabled, you will see a new task priority option appear when creating a task

## The future of this feature

At the moment this feature is very simple but in the future I plan on adding the ability to:

1. Sort tasks by priority (among other things)
2. Customize the priority options
