# Actions: Turn every goal into the next step

> B3 actions are the steps toward your goals: due dates, priorities, reminders, subtasks, comments, an assignee and an approver, with a live countdown.

Plan: Included in the Free plan (B3 Pro lifts the limits)

## At a glance

- Due dates with a live countdown, and three priority levels
- Subtasks to break an action into steps
- Reminders from 1 minute to 7 days before it's due
- Assign it, ask for approval, and discuss it in comments

## Behave: one step at a time

An action is a single piece of work with a finish line. Give it:

- a **title** and a line on *how you'll know it's done*
- what it's **related to**: one of your [goals](https://believebehavebecome.io/features/goals/), or general
- a **priority**, low, medium or high
- a **due date** and time, and **reminders**
- who it's **assigned to** and who **approves** it, both you unless you choose a [supporter](https://believebehavebecome.io/features/supporters/)
- who it's **shared with**, so they can follow along

## Break it down

Big action? Add **subtasks** and tick them off as you go. The action shows its progress, such as "2/5", and finished subtasks sink to the bottom so the next step is always on top.

## Never miss the moment

Every action card shows a live countdown, such as *Due in 2 hours* or *3 days overdue*, so what's urgent stands out. Reminders arrive as push notifications, from **1 minute to 7 days** before the due time, and they cancel themselves once the action is done.

## Work on it together

- **Assign** an action to a supporter. They can move it along (open, in progress, complete) and tick off subtasks. Only you can edit it.
- **Discuss it** in a comment thread with everyone on the action.
- **Ask for sign-off.** With an approver set, the action goes to them when you're done ([how approvals work](https://believebehavebecome.io/features/approvals/)).

## Find what matters

Filter by status, priority, goal, assignee or approver. You can also filter by due date (overdue, today, tomorrow, this week, this month or a custom range) or search by title. The [dashboard](https://believebehavebecome.io/features/dashboard/) counts what's overdue, due today, tomorrow and this week.

## Free and Pro

The Free plan has **2 active actions**, with one reminder each. [B3 Pro](https://believebehavebecome.io/pricing/) makes actions unlimited, with up to five reminders each.

## Questions

### Does an action have to belong to a goal?

No. An action can be linked to one of your goals, or be a general one-off task.

### Can someone else do an action for me?

Yes. Assign it to any of your supporters. They can update its status and tick off its subtasks, while you stay the only one who can edit it.
