How to Create Personal To-Do Lists in Linear

Quick summary

Linear's Drafts feature lets you create issues without assigning them to a team or cycle, making it ideal for managing personal to-do lists. Once you're ready to act, simply open the draft, add details, and convert it into a live issue.

Steps

1. Start by creating an issue without assigning it to a team or cycle — save it as a Draft to use it as a personal to-do item until you're ready to take action.
2. Click 'Save as draft' to store the issue in your Drafts queue.
3. Navigate to 'Drafts' in your Linear sidebar to view all your saved draft issues.
4. Click on a draft when you're ready to begin working on that issue.
5. Add the important details to the issue, such as description, priority, or assignee.
6. Click 'Create issue' to publish the draft as an active issue in your workflow.
