A private To-Do is a task to complete that doesn't correspond to any of your teams. The team doesn't need to track its progress or discuss it in meetings. These can be things for day-to-day work or reminders for personal tasks. 

Private To-Dos appear on both your My 90 workspace and the To-Dos page.
