Well, it helps me two ways. Online, before meeting, tasks are designed to make you think a lot about me... in otherwise everyday contexts.

A simple clothespin clipped to a boot top or in your sneaker's lacings.
Or a post it with my name in the top of your purse.
Or sitting at break, with a green highlighter...

Position practice... to get your mind into a submissive mode... so that you're easier to dominate during the first meeting... and so you have loads of anticipation which require fulfillment. Tasks such as position practice predispose you into being ready for things that otherwise might make you balk or falter.

The other thing tasks do for me... is they give me insights to your psyche and desires. A shortcut, if you will, in the process of 'getting to know you'

One of my favorite tasks is to send you on a hunt for pictures. The ones that make you hot and horny. The first task might be just random pics... and if I see a theme, the next one will be on that theme. Or if we've chatted and I sense an interest in a particular activity, the task will be to find pictures of that activity... with full descriptions of how the pic affects you.

By the time we meet, such tasks will have made you mine as easily as a week in my clutches can.

BTW, I write in the "second person" on purpose. Just to make you and other interested readers just a bit... warm?
