Tasks and how they connect to your timetable
The Workspace is your private corner of First Six. Your tasks, notes, and focus sessions live here, and only you can see them. No staff, no other students.
Your task board
Tasks work the way you would expect. Add one with a title, then give it a due date, a priority, and any tags you find useful. You can break a bigger task into subtasks and jot notes against it as you go.
View your tasks as a board (todo, doing, done) or as a list, whichever suits the moment. Tags are yours to invent; rename or remove one and it updates everywhere you have used it.
Where due dates show up
A task with a due date is not just stuck in the Workspace. It rides along on your First Six calendar feed, so if you have subscribed to your calendar in Apple or Google Calendar, the due date appears there too, on the right day.
That means your assignments sit next to your classes in one place, instead of living in a separate app you have to remember to check.
The focus timer
When it is time to actually do the work, start the focus timer on a task. It runs as a small pill in the corner so you can see the time ticking without losing your place.
You can only run one focus session at a time. If you start a timer while another is going, the app asks whether to stop and save the first. It is a gentle nudge toward single-tasking, which is usually the faster route anyway.
Notes
The Workspace also has a notes tab for anything that is not a task: a reading list, a brain-dump before an exam, a draft of an email you are not ready to send. Same privacy rules. It stays with you.
The fastest answer is usually one question away.
