I primarily use tags just to help myself organize things better.

If needed, I can even use the tasks lists as mentioned above within the subtasks to make sure I meet everything without missing a step of each subtask. To give another work example, if I'm given a project I will create a task for the project with it's substantial due date, then I can break it down into the main sections and put due dates on those. Subtasks I use for larger items and breaking those down into tasks that will span multiple days/weeks. For example, at work I have a task I complete weekly and within that is a few tasks in a list to make sure I don't miss a step. I create lists within tasks for simple processes that just help me make sure everything is done. This could technically be done with tags as well, but I'll get into that later. For example, when I'm at work I just need to look at my work list. This just helps me sort my tasks in ways that make things easier to find. I use lists for very broad things – mine is pretty much broken up into "Personal", "Work", "Shopping" (shared list with my wife we can both add/edit), and a "Notes" list.

Hope this helps you find something that works for you! Here's just how I have mine set up, but the beauty is that everyone can use it in a different way.
