Scope RPG

The Personal Bucket ​

Personal is the default project - the catch-all for every task you haven't assigned to another project. It's always there, it can't be deleted, and you don't have to create it.

What Personal Is ​

Personal is a built-in project with a fixed name. Every Scope account has it from the start. Its only job is to hold the tasks that don't belong anywhere else.

The reasoning is simple: every task needs to live somewhere, and forcing you to pick a project every time you quickly tap "+" would slow you down. Personal is the fallback.

When Tasks End Up in Personal ​

By default:

  • Tasks you create without picking a project go to Personal.
  • Tasks from a project you deleted move to Personal (unless you chose "delete everything").
  • Tasks imported or migrated without project context start in Personal.

Most players end up with a lot of tasks in Personal unless they actively manage projects. That's fine - Personal isn't a punishment or a junk drawer; it's just the default.

Moving Tasks Out of Personal ​

If a cluster of Personal tasks starts feeling related, create a project for them and move them over. The flow:

  1. Create a new project via Settings.
  2. Open each task you want to move.
  3. Change its project to the new one.

There's no bulk-move UI - reassignment is per-task. For a handful of tasks, this is fine. For large migrations, you may just want to keep new tasks in the right project from now on and let the old Personal tasks clear as you complete them.

Can't Be Deleted ​

Personal is always there. You can't delete it, and you can't rename it. This is deliberate - it's the safety net that guarantees every task has a home.

The "Delete Project" action in Settings doesn't even offer Personal as a choice; it's filtered out of the list.

Filter Option ​

When filtering the Lifegrid by project, Personal appears as its own option alongside every project you've created. Picking "Personal" narrows the view to only unaffiliated tasks.

This can be useful as a diagnostic view - "what am I doing that doesn't fit any project?" - but most of the time you'll probably pick "All" or a specific project instead.
