Tips & Guide

The MIT method

MIT stands for Most Important Tasks. Productivity experts suggest identifying your 3 Most Important Tasks each morning. Assign them Priority 1 and tackle them first — before emails and meetings. Everything else is secondary.

Time blocking

People consistently underestimate task duration by around 40%. Try doubling your first estimate. Over time you will calibrate your estimates to reality and plan more accurate days.

Batching similar tasks

Context switching costs time. Use Category sort to group similar tasks together — answer all emails in one block, make all calls together. Batching reduces the mental ramp-up time between tasks.

Habit streaks work

Research by Phillippa Lally at UCL found it takes an average of 66 days to form a habit, not the commonly cited 21 days. The streak tracker here is designed to keep you going through the messy middle of habit formation.

The two-minute rule

If a task takes under two minutes, do it immediately rather than adding it to your list. From David Allen's Getting Things Done — this prevents small tasks clogging your day and adds instant momentum.

Use your diary for accountability

Writing a brief daily note — even just a sentence — creates a record you can review at month end. The By Category view in the Diary tab turns scattered entries into a focused report of what you actually did in any area of life.

A full-day productivity planner — schedule tasks with smart sorting, build daily habits, track your progress over time, and keep a categorised diary of your days. Everything saves automatically in your browser.

Examples

Plan your morning in 2 minutes

Add tasks, set priorities, hit Smart Sort, work top to bottom.

End-of-year review

Open Diary, switch to By Category, and read through every entry in each area of your life.

Monthly accountability check

Switch Diary to By Month, pick the month, and see everything you noted.

The most productive time for most people is the first 2-3 hours after waking, before email and social media erode focus. Researchers call this the golden window. Scheduling your Priority 1 tasks here can double output compared to doing them in the afternoon.

Frequently asked questions

How does the daily planner's Smart sort work?

Smart sort prioritises tasks by urgency first, then orders within each priority level by quickest to complete. This helps you clear high-priority quick wins early and ensures you are always working on what matters most.

Does my planner data save automatically?

Yes. All data saves to your browser automatically — no account needed. Sign in to save your planner to your account and access it from any device.

What are habit streaks and how do they work?

Streaks count consecutive days you mark a habit as done. The planner shows your current streak and all-time best. Missing a day resets your current streak, which creates a motivating 'don't break the chain' effect.
