It's not a word you'll find in any dictionary (yet), but it seems to be known and used concept specially in language learning field, and even in other task management<http://www.taskmanagementguide.com/setting-tasks/pre-task-plan-will-help-reach-a-safe-and-productive-work-environment.php>apps. And a least to me it feels closer to the concept of the "prerequisite" then the word "Subtask"... Another suggestion would be to rethink the name of the "Workview" (not completely intuitive) as a placeholder for "actionable" task. Granted "actionable" is a known word that can be found in dictionaries, but is not very frequent. Let's try thinking more in the line of something straightforward like: - Ready to do now: - Ready for action: - Do it now! - Do-right-now list: - Do-it-now list: If I wasn't an anti Nike fan, I would add "Just do it!" to the list, but you get the picture... :) Cheers, Radina
