Personal list seems like a useful feature for some, but please let us turn it off. I often forget to set which list to create a new task in, so it ends up in Personal List where it's easily forgotten since I don't use it.

In my view, Personal List either needs to be able to be seen everywhere else and be acted upon like everything, or we need to be able to turn it off.

Right now, you cannot see Personal items in Everything view, in New Calendar, and a bunch of other places, which means items in it get lost and forgotten.

I would rather be able to turn it off than it not work like everything else in ClickUp.

Yes, please! Very frustrating. Why create a list that doesn't function like the others and can be very hard to find and deal with.

I agree that the best option is to assign the "Personal List" feature to a ClickApp. In my case, I don't need to use it and so I don't want to see it anywhere, but of course this can be useful to other users. Making this a ClickApp will make everybody happy.

Instead of turning it off, just because the tasks "dissappear" into it, personal tasks should be included in the Everything section, as suggested in the "Include Personal List in Everything" feature request. This would solve the problem in a better way. The personal tasks wouldn't dissappear any more and it would be easy to add&handle those.

SOLVED - I just figured a way around this un-necessary "Personal list". I made an automation that moves every new task in the "Personal list" to one of my monitored lists. Voila - no more mucking around with lost tasks in personal list.

@Michael Van Doorn Is there an update for this feature request as it has been under review for about 11 months?

Oh me too. I lose so many important tasks this way. At the moment I have an automation that moves any new task I create here into the right place, but this feature is such an awful idea I'd love to be able to turn it off. Desperate for this to be fixed....

WOuld love to have this feature turned off. Many times I am using my mobile to add tasks and even though I change the location every time to go to a different folder, when I'm on the road saving tasks, adding a task automatically selects tasks to be added to the personal list instead of the last one I selected. I cannot see the personal list on my mobile phone and I have missed many tasks/can't find them because they get lost in this list.

I couldn't agree anymore. This feature automatically being on hinders easy workflow.
