How to plan a task?

You can Plan a task while creating it using the Command Bar, clicking on the Plan button or by hitting P on an existing task.

Here’s a quick guide on all the ways to create tasks: How to create tasks.

If you cannot assign a precise date to the task yet, plan it for a broader time frame, like “This Week” or “Next Month”. Learn more: Upcoming Page

Examples of dates, times and time frames

Use natural language while creating a task to plan it.

• Today

• Tom 9am

• This Week

• Fri at 16 for 1h

• In 2 weeks

• From 5 to 6pm

• 3rd week of May

• Next month

Recognize recurrences

Akiflow recognizes basic recurring options added with natural language:

How?

After adding a date, use every day/week/month/year

Optional: use for n times or until yyyy-mm-dd to set the end of the recurrence

Examples: Pay bills June 1st every month

Planning into Time Slots and Projects

Hit P on a selected task(s) to open the Plan command and easily assign those tasks to an existing Time Slots in your calendar.

• Type the [Time Slot Title] to find all the time slots with that title

• Type #[Project Name]to search for all the Time Slot with that project

To-dos vs Scheduled

Once planned, you'll see a task on your Today page.

To-dos

If a task has a planned date but not a time, it’ll be visible on your Today page, under the correct date on the To-dos section, and at the bottom of your calendar.

Scheduled

If you've set a date and time to work on a task, you'll also see it on your calendar and in your Today page, on the correct date, under Scheduled on calendar.
