>From your task in planner you can go to the place in your file where you
want to work , do that you have to do, (add 20 lines for example), create a new 
task
at the place you stop. Then mark the precedent task as done.etc...
You can also make a link from your task to a note in planner about your

working saying now i work at this place (20 lines further) etc...
