Personal List
planned
Sascha Kirchdörfer
The new Personal List is nice and should be available directly in the sidebar. It should offer all the features of a regular list: views, automations,...
In fact, a personal space by default would be nice. But I guess everyone has already created a private space anyways ;-)

Personal list is useful for some peoples workflows but negatively impacts others. My experience with it has been overwhelming lly negative and frustrating for its impact on my flow.
Implementing the ability to disable the 'Personal List' on the users demand seems like the best option from the user perspective.
Additionally I have issues where a task is "in" my personal list and visible from an overview but when selected the tasks says "Not visible" and is locked.
Very frustrating.
Try to delete the personal list and you get a notification that you do not have permission.

Adding that I think whatever product manager thought launching this in a half-baked state was a good idea needs to have a serious talking to. This has pissed off most of the two companies I am fractional CTO for. It should have either 1. been launched with an ability to hide or 2. launched with all the feaures of other lists. Instead, as evident from this, clearly pissed off a LOT of people. Super short-sited.

Some of my Enterprise clients have expressed concerns about the availability of Personal Lists due to the risk that users will set up tasks there for collaborative work. It would be great if we could control the availability of Personal Lists via a ClickApp or being able to restrict access to them to a limited set of users.

Jonathon Popphan Yep. Definitely want to be able to turn it off. It's a black hole for things to get lost in.
Would rather be able to mark a specific List as my personal list, or something.
Ryan MacAlmon
Yes, please put this in the side bar for easier navigation and adoption. Also perhaps consider consolidating the Personal list with Reminders

I have been using the Personal list as a GTD-style 'Inbox'. Since it doesn't live in any space, it's the perfect spot for a brain-dump until I have time to sit at my computer and sort my tasks properly. It would be nice to be able to re-name this list 'Inbox', since ClickUp doesn't have a true inbox for brain dumping tasks/ideas.

This would be great, i work best in Kanban view and would love the option for my own list

I would rather remove the Personal List completely.
- ClickUp always suggested creating your own Personal Space, so I already have that in place.
- The Personal List does not have most features of normal Spaces/Lists, so I am not going to transition to it.
- It also does not have folders for organisation.
- It is also only accessible from the Home screen as a widget.
- I see not perceivable benefit of it at all over just having a Personal Space, and then exposing that in a similar fashion (e.g., Dashboard and Home screen widgets for a select List in your Personal Space, the sidebar showing a specific list from your Personal Space, etc).
It's annoying to me that tasks now get defaulted to it in many places (e.g., on mobile), which means Tasks get lost down the black hole of a place I never look at. It's so easy to lose tasks because they auto-save there and I don't realise.
The old approach of HAVING to select a location before saving a Task was a much better approach.

Guy Mannerings Hey Guy. A Personal Space seems to be impossible to integrate under Home f.ex. Any workarounds? Or is this not useful?
Thank you. Paal
Guy Mannerings
Paal Steensland My workaround is to make my own Home Dashboard. It is far more powerful than the default Home screen + widgets anyway.
Paal Steensland
Guy Mannerings Thank you. So you create a new Dashboard you call "Home", and you customise? Do you do anything to connect this iwth or replace the default "Home" in the sideview, or do you simply add this new dashboard to your favourites?
Guy Mannerings
Paal Steensland That's right, yes. I just add it to favourites!
Paal Steensland
Guy Mannerings Thank you Guy. Much appreciated.

Personal lists aren't useful until it can be shown in your "everything" view. The fact that personal list tasks are so segregated makes it not useful to me. Not sure why the personal list is a better option than just a private list in a space somewhere.

I don’t understand the purpose of the personal list, and I don’t use it at all. It feels like I'm being forced to see it, even though it’s just taking up unwanted space and adds visual and mental clutter. I've never wanted or needed this list. I have adhd, this list begin appearing in my mobile app last week and i've spent 8 hours trying to remove it, plus two support tickets, only to find out that I can't delete it or design my views to remove this useless list.

I end up too often not finding tasks I created where they should be but in the personal list. I would rather set a List as default for creating tasks.
