Today

Today shows your goals, today’s routines, the tasks due today, and how your week is going, all on one screen.

Today: goals, today’s routines, tasks and the week

What it’s for

It’s hard to know how much you can fit into a day. The Today screen shows every task due today, with the most important first, along with your routines and goals.

If there’s too much to do, you’ll see it in the morning. Then you can choose which tasks to move to another day. This keeps today’s list short, with only what matters most. A short list is easier to focus on and less stressful to look at.

Open Today whenever it suits you. The week strip shows what you did each day, without grading you. More on planning for an ordinary day.

Goals

Each goal you’re working on has one line: a ring that shows your progress, the goal’s name, and how much time is left. Tap a goal to see its progress. Tap the pencil there to change the goal.

Routines

Each of today’s routines has one line that shows how much of it is done. Tap a routine to do it. You can do them in any order. A routine you haven’t finished stays on Today all day.

Tasks

The tasks due today, with the highest priority first. Today shows as many as fit on the screen. They work the same way as on the Tasks screen:

  • Tap a task to open it.
  • Tap its circle to check it off.
  • Swipe to move it to another day, or to stash it.
  • Tap play to start a focus timer.

The last row shows how many more tasks there are, including any left over from earlier days. Tap it to open Tasks. Tap + to add a task.

This week

One row of seven squares for each routine and each number you track. Tap a day’s letter to see that day’s routines.

For a routine, a square with stronger color means you did more of it that day. For a number, stronger color means a better reading. A lighter square just means less. It never means bad, and nothing is ever red.

History

Tap Show history to see sixteen weeks of each number you track. Tap a day to see that day’s reading and open that day in your journal.
