 # Defining tasks with `#[task]`
 
-Tasks, defined with `#[task]`, are the main mechanism of getting work done in RTIC. Every task can be spawned, now or later, be sent messages (message passing) and be given priorities for preemptive multitasking.
+Tasks, defined with `#[task]`, are the main mechanism of getting work done in RTIC.
 
-There are two kinds of tasks, software tasks and hardware tasks, and the difference is that hardware tasks are bound to a specific interrupt vector in the MCU while software tasks are not. This means that if a hardware task is bound to the UART's RX interrupt the task will run every time a character is received.
+Tasks can
+
+* Be spawned (now or in the future)
+* Receive messages (message passing)
+* Prioritized allowing preemptive multitasking
+* Optionally bind to a hardware interrupt
+
+RTIC makes a distinction between “software tasks” and “hardware tasks”.
+Hardware tasks are tasks that are bound to a specific interrupt vector in the MCU while software tasks are not.
+
+This means that if a hardware task is bound to an UART RX interrupt the task will run every
+time this interrupt triggers, usually when a character is received.
 
 In the coming pages we will explore both tasks and the different options available.
