Help / Plan your day

Plan my day

Choose what you'll actually do today from below the fold, while the track shows whether it fits.

Guide
  1. On Today, tap Plan my day in the toolbar. When nothing is committed yet, the button is in the middle of the screen too.
  2. Tap each task you’ll really do today. The Planned track fills as you pick.
  3. If you go past your capacity, Billine says by how much: “That’s 10m more than the day has.” Unpick something, or pick something shorter.
  4. Tap Commit. The tasks you picked move above the fold.
Plan my day with four tasks picked: 4h 10m of 4h, 10m over

The list shows what’s eligible today: tasks whose do-date or deadline is today or earlier. Tasks without an estimate show without a length and add nothing to the track.

In the evening

After Evening starts at (8:00 PM by default), the same button reads Plan tomorrow, and the plan you make is for tomorrow.

Ten minutes free?

What now? answers a different question: “I have 25 minutes, what fits?” Tap the timer on Today, or press ⌘⇧W, choose how long you have and, if you like, a label. Billine lists what fits: committed tasks first, then the nearest deadline, then the longest that fits.

  • Today and the fold Today splits your tasks in two, what you committed to and what you could do, so the day stays a plan instead of a pile.
  • Set your daily capacity Tell Billine how many hours of real focus you have in a day, and let your calendar take out the meetings.
  • Stale review Tasks you haven't touched in weeks come back to ask once: keep it, schedule it, or let it go.
