    Hi everyone, and thanks Christian, Rob and Alexandre for explaining how ASAP differs from Someday, it shaped what we built.

    ASAP is now live on Desktop and Web. Open the Plan menu on any task and pick ASAP to drop it into your first free slot today, after your upcoming events and within your working hours. You see the exact time before you click, and you can undo it. More here: Schedule Optimizer.

    We’re marking this request as completed. If you’d also like ASAP to roll over to the next free day when today is full, or to move lower-priority items out of the way, please upvote Auto-Schedule Tasks onto Calendar with Dynamic Rescheduling, where we’re collecting feedback on what comes next.

    On sunsama you can set a work-limit for each day, including tasks and calendar appointments. If you already have too much on your plate, "ASAP" might put it on the next available date.

      Louis Isaac. I loved this feature in Sunsama and really miss it. In fact, I just suggested the same for Akiflow. Join me and give it a like! It’s such a help to have a work-limit set and warnings provided when we accidentally over-schedule.

      Stefania For what it's worth, for me, the ability to have something planned for This Week (and the wonderful touch of having that available to pull up from below rather than navigate away from Today) takes care of this. My needs may be different from others', but that's exactly what I needed!

      Stefania Glad to! This most recent set of changes is fantastic. The flow brings in a bit of GTD, the Time Sector System, TimeStripe, and Time Blocking and puts them all together in a wonderfully intuitive way — which shouldn’t really be possible. 😂 WELL DONE!

    As Christian stated, they are very different concepts.

    ASAP

    Meaning: As Soon As Possible / Tone: Urgent/high priority
    Implies: Do it now or very soon

    • Send me the file ASAP. - do it immediately

    • We need this fixed ASAP. - top priority

    Someday

    Meaning: At an unspecified time in the future / Tone: Low urgency / optional
    Implies: No timeline -could be never

    • I want to visit Japan someday. - no rush

    • We should redesign that someday. - not important now

    Hi Everyone! We already have an option to set date as “Someday”. Did anyone try this? Please let us know what would “ASAP” be different compared to “Someday” we already support. Thanks

    Hi rob.sandridge@gmail.com and criedi@gmail.com I appreciate you taking the time to clarify that. Your feedback is incredibly helpful. Although we can't provide a specific ETA at the moment, this request is officially under review with our development team. Thank you for your patience and for being a valued part of our community!
