 <p>What is an actionable task? Actionable tasks are the ones that you can do directly, right now, and it has to meet two conditions:</p>

<list>
      <item><p>Be "start-able", meaning that the start date has already arrived or passed.</p></item>
      <item><p>Not have any open subtasks, meaning that all its “prerequisites” are met and you can do the task itself directly.</p></item> 
</list>

<p>This way the <gui>Work View</gui> will only show you the tasks you can do right now.</p>

<p>If you use tags, you can right click on a tag in the sidebar and choose to hide tasks tagged with it in the <gui>Work View</gui>. This option is very useful if you have a tag like "someday" that you use for tasks you would like to do but are not particularly urgent.</p>
