In the sidebar, open **Projects & Tasks**, then **My Work**. The page address is `/work/my-work`. It is your personal lane: the work orders scheduled for you today plus the tasks you own, share or follow, sorted by what needs doing first.

## Before you start

- Your role needs permission to view tasks or work orders; the page shows whichever you can see.
- Marking a work order complete needs the **Update work order status** permission, and your organization has to have a "completed" status set up for work orders.

## Steps

1. Read the four tiles under the heading: **Focus today** (today's work orders plus overdue and due-today tasks), **Blocked**, **Recurring** and **Work orders**.
2. Start with **Today's Work Orders**. Each card shows the time window, the customer and the address. Select the title to open the work order.
3. When a work order is finished, press **Mark complete** on its card. Nova moves it to the completed status and shows **Work order marked complete.**
4. Work down **Overdue**, then **Due Today**, then **Upcoming**. Select a task's title to open it.
   - **Overdue** holds tasks whose due date has passed, and tasks whose day on the Schedule is already over.
   - **Due Today** holds tasks due today and tasks on the Schedule for today, including ones set for any time that day. They do not become overdue until the day ends.
   - **Upcoming** holds tasks due, or on the Schedule, on a later day.
   - "Today" is your organization's day, the same day the Schedule shows.
5. Use **Open all tasks** to reach the full task list, **Create task** to add one, or **Open the schedule** to see the schedule.

## What you see

- Each task card shows its status, priority, task number, due date, where it sits on the Schedule (for example "Any time on Tue, Sep 30") and, when set, how far along it is and the estimate.
- **Recurring Work** lists tasks that repeat on a schedule; those cards carry a **Recurring** badge.
- On the right, **Owned By Me**, **Collaborating** and **Following** split your tasks by the part you play in them, and **Execution health** counts what is **Active**, **High Priority**, **Blocked** or has **No Due Date**.
- Sections show a count in their corner and only the first few cards; use **Open all tasks** for the rest.

## If something looks different

- **No work orders are assigned to you today.** or **Nothing in your lane is due today.**: there is simply nothing scheduled; the page is not broken.
- **Mark complete** is greyed out: either your role cannot change work order status, or no completed status exists yet. Ask your admin.
- A card shows **Pending sync**: you were offline when you pressed **Mark complete**. Nova finishes it when you are back online.
- A completed work order says completion is permanent: a finished work order cannot be reopened here. Open it to create a follow-up instead.
- **Today's Work Orders** is missing: your role cannot view work orders, so only tasks are shown.
