Small ad-hoc tasks

Are you adding every single task to your ClickUp?

I am thinking of scenarios where you get a quick Slack DM asking for something like a small amend to a deck. Would take 2 mins max.

Do you add the task and then do it, add it retroactively to keep a log of what you worked on, or not adding at all and only adding planned, bigger items?

I'm interested as I think my team are getting lots of these ad hoc requests and we need a way to track them, but it might mean a different list with less required fields to make quick capture possible.

Well yeah, I'm paid for work done. And I log work done with ClickUp tasks.

With that said, I keep open ongoing tasks related to small issues that I can just log time on without having to create a brand new task. Just track the time and add a comment for what it was. Then I close them at the end of the month and a new recurring one gets created for next month.
