Size (T-Shirt Sizes)

Overview

Not sure exactly how long a task will take? Give it a T-shirt size instead: S, M or L, plus XS and XL if you want them. It's a quick, rough way to see how big your tasks are without committing to an exact time.

Each size stands for a range of time, so Marvin can still use sizes when working out how long your day will take.

Turning it on

Turn on Size (T-Shirt Sizes) in your Features list (in the Prioritization group). It works on desktop/web and mobile.

Giving a task a size

Magic words: type *s, *m or *l in the task title (or *xs and *xl). You can also type the full word, like *small or *large. Type *No Size to remove a size.
Actions: add Set size to your hover buttons or right-click menu to pick a size, or Size (cycle on click) to step through the sizes with each click.
Pills: if you use Task Input Pills, add the Size pill.
Mobile: when adding or editing a task, tap the Attributes chip and pick a size.

The size shows as a small badge on the task.

Sorting, grouping and filtering

Sort a list by Size
Use Group by size
Filter by size, or make a smart list with the Size filter
There are ready-made smart lists for Size: Small, Size: Medium and Size: Large

Settings

Tag style: how the badge looks (Outlined, Filled, Tinted, Letters only or Grey pill)
Where to show it: After title (default), Before title, Left of duration, Right of duration, Duration's spot (only when the task has no duration) or In duration tag. On mobile you choose the tag style and position in the feature's own settings.
Enable XS and Enable XL (both off by default)
Use theme color
A color and a time range for each size. The defaults are:
- XS: 0 to 5 minutes
- S: 5 to 15 minutes
- M: 15 to 45 minutes
- L: 45 to 120 minutes
- XL: over 120 minutes

Colors and time ranges can be changed on desktop or web.

Tip: A task that has a size but no time estimate counts as the top of its size's range when Marvin adds up time.
