One of the great things about GQueues is it can be a trusted system to store anything that pops into your brain. This means sometimes you might have work logged you just aren’t ready to do yet. Maybe it is seasonal or depends on other tasks being completed first.

It can be useful to take these kinds of tasks off your radar in the meantime so you can focus on what’s coming in the immediate future. That's where snoozing tasks comes in. When you snooze a task, it will leave the Active portion of your queue and return at the time you choose. It won't distract you before it's time to tackle it, freeing up mental space, but you can rest easy knowing it will pop back up at the right time.

To snooze a task, click the snooze icon. This will open a dropdown menu where you can set the date for it to return to your queue. You can choose one of the options from the dropdown menu or enter your own custom return time in the text box up top.

If you choose the Surprise me! option, you'll be able to select a timeframe within which the task will return, but the system will choose a random time to unsnooze the task. Great for when you don't want to have to spend time figuring out when to unsnooze, ideas you want to return to but you're not sure when you'll have time for, or for tasks you want to complete with irregular patterns.

Once you’ve confirmed the return time, the task will be whisked away from your active queue view.

👉 Pro Tip: Subtasks can be snoozed independently of a parent task, but snoozing a parent task will also snooze all associated subtasks.

When your unsnooze time rolls around, the task will return to the Active portion of your queue with a "Returned" tag so there's a clear visual indicator it's a task that had previously been snoozed and is now ready to be worked on. It will be returned to the same location in the queue as it was in before snoozing, but you can also adjust it so any unsnoozed task returns to the top of your queue in settings.

You'll also get a notification to let you know it's unsnoozed.

You'll get a web notification by default, but you can also turn on email notifications for when a task unsnoozes in the Notifications tab of your Settings.

Snoozed tasks will be moved to the Archived portion of your queue, in the Snoozed section at the top, ordered by unsnooze date.

You can also see all snoozed tasks across your entire account by viewing your Snoozed queue, located with your Inbox and Assignments in the left hand panel. This is ideal for getting an overview of everything coming your way.

You can edit task details on snoozed tasks just like any other active task. This includes editing the date, assignments, notes, attachments, comments, tags, and the unsnooze date. You can also mark tasks complete directly from the Snoozed queue or the snoozed portion of a queue's archive.

❗️Please Note: It's not possible to add subtasks to snoozed tasks. If you want to add a subtask you should first unsnooze the task.

If you want to unsnooze a task before the scheduled time, select the unsnooze time and select Unsnooze now from the dropdown. The task will be moved back to the Active portion of the queue right away.

By default, when a task unsnoozes it will be returned to the location in the queue where it was before (or the closes option if the tasks in the queue have been moved around a lot).

If you'd prefer, you can have tasks return to the top of the queue in the Snooze tab in Settings.

By default, when a task unsnoozes it will be moved to the Active portion of the queue with a Returned tag added. If you'd prefer not to have the tag automatically added, uncheck the box for this in the Snooze tab of your GQueues settings.
