We use an online application, which integrates with your email, to help manage tasks and time tracking. This ensures there’s a single source of information, updates, and questions; and a single source for you to see all time spent and progress made on your tasks.
Assign a task by email
- Create a new email to the address we send you after you register, typically task+yourname@onlinepersonalassistant.com
- The subject line of your email will become the title of the new task
- The body of your email will become the main content of the new task.
- Any attached files will be attached to the task.
- You can add a due date to the task by adding any of the following to the subject line:
- [today] - Due date is set to the current day.
- [tomorrow] - Due date is set to the next day.
- [sunday] / [monday] etc - Due date is set to the next Sunday / Monday.
- [next week] / [next month] / [next year] - Due date is set to a week / month / year from the current day.
