đź§Â Plan your day (beta feature)
|
You can already plan your month and week in a lightweight way in Compass Calendar. Now you can also plan your …. day! *John Cena entrance music* It’s a task list next to your agenda. ​ Pretty straightforward, but don’t underestimate the power of simplicity. ​ Showing one day’s worth of tasks/events will help you turn off that monkey brain and lock in on what you need to do today. ​ We also added shortcuts to help manage the tasks, which will keep your mind focused and your hands away from the mouse (ew). To use this feature, you’ll need to opt in to the beta program, which just takes two clicks. ​ I walk through the feature and the beta program in this super serious 36-second video 👇 ​ One caveat: Day tasks are currently stored in your browser, which means if you clear your browser history, they’ll disappear. ​ This is the price of bleeding-edge tek. ​ We’ll be storing tasks in our cloud DB with daily backups once we release this feature out of beta. (Events and weekly/monthly tasks are already stored in the DB.) ​ Try it out and LMK what you think! ​ ​

TL;DR - Compass now helps you focus on the current task at hand There are two types of people: Those who wing it—working on whatever they feel like 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...
