Core Concepts: From Domain to Task

Domains answer “Which part of life am I taking care of”, projects answer “What will I push forward during this period”, and tasks answer “What’s the next step today”.

Learning is a domain, finishing a course paper is a project, and organizing references today is a task. The clearer the hierarchy, the easier it is to know where to put your effort.

| What you’re facing | Look at this first | Next step | | --- | --- | --- | | Not sure where to start | The current page title and main entry point | Pick only one item that relates to your current goal | | The result is wrong after an action | Status, empty state, access history, or sync progress | Go back one level and check in order | | Worried about affecting data | Backup, sync, account, or permission info | Stop first, confirm the scope, then continue |

Don’t cram every goal into a task. Tasks need an upper‑level container; otherwise they easily become random chores.

After reading this section, go back to the task you are working on and choose just one minimal action to continue with: record one input, check one status, or open related settings to complete one confirmation.
