How-To

Plan a day

Build a practical plan for the selected day without losing unfinished work.

Before you start

  • Open the day you want to plan.
  • Confirm iCloud is available if you expect the plan to sync across devices.

Steps

  1. Add the tasks you need to see today.
  2. Assign a priority letter and rank to the work that should surface first.
  3. Use Daily Planning when you want to place open activities onto a visible timeline.
  4. Add times and durations only where the task truly has a schedule, then enable task-time reminders only when needed.
  5. Use tags such as Work, Home, or Health to keep the day balanced.
  6. Complete, reopen, or move tasks as the day changes.

If a task did not move as expected, check automatic carryover timing, tag weekday or weekend rules, and away periods.

Choose your starting point

Start with one day and build from there.

Preview the Day Planner for priorities and tasks, or open Daily Planning to see how time blocking works.
