How priorities are decided

New tasks are placed automatically when they load, based on the client. The boxes are a work order, do 1 before 2 before 3. The order of priority at TFM is:

  1. At risk clients land in Do First. Any overdue task also jumps here, no matter the client.
  2. Competition clients (we are competing against another agency) and onboarding clients are equally important; both land in Do Next, ordered by due date.
  3. Big clients (6+ concepts per month) land in Do Later.
  4. Everything else lands in Backlog.

Inside each box, tasks are ordered by client tier, then by due date (earliest first); the number on each card is your work order. You can still drag cards anywhere; your moves are kept on refresh. "Auto-sort" re-sorts the whole board from these rules.

Filtering and hiding. The Show row filters the board by client, priority, category or status; boxes only draw what matches, and the work order numbers stay as they were, so card 4 is still card 4. Filters are yours alone, they live in this browser and are not shared. Hide on a card takes that one task off the board for good; hidden tasks come back with "Show hidden", and unlike a filter they are part of the board, so they are saved and shared with your link. Neither one touches Notion.

Sharing and saving. The address bar always names the GM on screen (?gm=lucca), so the link in the bar is the link to send: whoever opens it lands on that board. "Save view" stores your arrangement on the server, so it comes back on any device and anyone opening your link sees it. Without saving, the board still sticks in your own browser.

At risk is not tracked in Notion yet. When an "At Risk" field is added to the clients database, it will be picked up automatically.

1. Do First at risk + overdue

2. Do Next competition + onboarding

3. Do Later big clients

4. Backlog everything else
