noun
Things you need to do every day. They are usually small, routine jobs, not special or one-time tasks.
- I finished my daily tasks before lunch.
- She plans her daily tasks every morning.
Adinary Nuance
Use daily tasks for ordinary routine work that repeats every day. It is close to chores, duties, and responsibilities, but each word feels different: chores are often home jobs, duties can sound more formal, and responsibilities can be broader. Writers choose daily tasks when they want a neutral, practical phrase.
