TL;DR - Compass now helps you focus on the current task at hand
​

​
​

There are two types of people:

1. Those who wing it—working on whatever they feel like
2. Those who plan—working on what they prioritized

You’re probably the second type—a busy professional who cares about being productive with your time (same).

We’re drawn to goals, plans, and systems.

We’re ambitious, organized.

But we’re also prone to “procrastiplanning”: spending excessive time planning and organizing instead of taking action on tasks.

Thankfully, Compass now makes it easier to shift between planning and doing.

Here’s how:

1. Type 2 to go to the /day planner
2. Create the tasks that you need to do today
3. Type 1 to go to the /now planner and find the task you’ll work on now
4. Lock in: Forget the planning and just focus on the current task at hand.
5. Press Enter to mark the current task complete and start the next

Displaying your current task prominently is another simple yet powerful feature.

Getting started will feel less daunting.

You’ll build momentum more easily.

You’ll feel calmer and less distracted.
