## Create a Task
1. With the add task bar open, type the task title in the input. The placeholder shows an example: **A task title #tag @16:00** (you can use **#tag** and **@time** or **@date** in the title; see below).
1. With the add task bar open, type the task title in the input. The placeholder shows an example: **A task title #tag @16:00 t25m** (you can use **#tag**, **@time**, **@date**, and **[t]time** in the title; see below).
2. Press **Enter** or click the **Add task** button (plus icon next to the input). The task is added to the current project or context (Today / tag).
The new task appears at the **top** or **bottom** of the list depending on the add bar setting (see “Add to top or bottom” below).

- **#tagName** — Add the task to a tag (e.g. `#work`). If the tag does not exist, you can create it when adding the task.
- **@16:00** or **@09:30** — Set a due time for the task (today by default when only time is given).
- **@tomorrow**, **@next week**, or a date — Set the due date. You can combine with a time (e.g. **@tomorrow @14:00**).
- **[t]25m** — Set an estimated time for the task. You can also add time previously spent on a task by adding a `/` at the end (e.g. `t30m/`). The `t` tag is optional and the short syntax will work even if it is ommitted.
See [[3.04-Short-Syntax]] for more information on available short syntax tags.
The add task bar also has **Tags**, **Schedule**, and **Estimate** buttons to set these without typing. On the Schedule/Planner view, the add bar may show different options (e.g. “Plan for today”).
