Use the Focus list
Focusing items can help you highlight things that need your attention now. They get a star and they appear in the Focus list, which you can have emailed to you daily.
Manually focus items
You can manually focus any item by clicking the star icon next to it. If you’re using the web app, you can also drag items to your Focus list or use Rapid Entry to create a focused item.
Automatically focus items
You can automatically focus an action or project by scheduling a start date or due date for the item. When the date arrives, it will appear in your Focus list.

Good to know: Starring an item doesn’t move it. The Focus list shows your starred items in one place, but the items still exist in their original locations.
