When a task needs attention, a warning appears in the sidebar under "+ Add". It shows how many tasks need attention. When nothing needs attention, the warning is hidden.


TurboHog cannot fit the task before its deadline. If you do it as scheduled, you will miss the deadline.
The task's own schedule does not have room for it before its deadline, so TurboHog placed it in another schedule. If you do it at that time, you will still meet the deadline. Learn more in Schedules.
A task you locked to a time conflicts with something else, so TurboHog cannot keep it where you put it. Learn more about locking in How Auto-Scheduling Works.
You have a few options for each task in the list.
TurboHog moves the deadline and re-plans the task. If it now fits, it leaves the list.

Click "Edit" to open the task. You can shorten it, change its priority or schedule, or turn off its lock, then click "Update Task" or press Ctrl + S (Cmd + S on a Mac). Learn more in Editing a Task.
Tasks that need attention are still on your plan, and they often come before other tasks. If you finish one, check its box in the list.
If you no longer need the task, open it with "Edit" and click "Delete".
In the Needs Attention window, use the arrow keys to move between tasks, Enter to open one, and Esc to close the window.
To keep tasks from landing here, give them realistic deadlines and durations. Learn how in Start Date and Deadline.
