Could. Tasks that you could do today if you have the time. It’s okay for them to spill over to the next day or later. Examples: Plan the next trip, collect highlights from a book into a note, organise my workspace, shop for new clothes. (View Highlight)
Would. Tasks that are part of your wishlist, but you don’t necessarily have to do them. Examples: Read the latest issue of a magazine, add a cool feature to your website or app, enrol in another online course. (View Highlight)
