Today: Add structure to your day

The Today list is your command center for the day. Here’s how you can add to-dos to this list:

  • You can create new to-dos here.
  • A to-do will be automatically shown here when its start date arrives, which you assigned via Start time.
  • A to-do will be automatically shown here when its End time arrives.

Upcoming: When do you want to start something?

In order to rely on your Today list to show you what’s relevant on any given day, planning ahead can really help ease your mind.

The Upcoming list shows your future agenda and allows you to see how busy you’ll be. Here’s how to-dos are added to this list:

  • You added a start date via Start time. This will most likely happen when you can’t start a to-do just now, but already know when you’d like to begin working on it in the future.
  • You added a End time to a to-do. You can still do it any time, but the deadline tells you by which date you absolutely need to be finished.

In addition, the Today and Upcoming lists can also show your events from Google Calendar app for an even better overview of how busy you’ll be.

There are several ways to add start dates to your to-dos:

  • When creating a new to-do type a start date and natural language will set the start and end time.
  • In the Task Details panel enter the Start date.

Deadlines: The date you can’t miss

When you have been given a date by which you need to complete a to-do or face negative consequences if you miss that mark, add a Deadline. Use it sparingly so you won’t numb yourself to the urgency of these tasks. If you just want to be reminded of a to-do, try adding a start date instead.

  • When creating a new to-do type a start and end date and natural language will set the start and end time.
  • In the Task Details panel enter the End date.
