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.

🕘 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”

While typing to create a task, Use backspace ⌫⏎ /ESC to remove text recognition. E.g., erase "tomorrow" from "Lunch with Tom."

🔄 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"

#️⃣ Examples of 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 [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.

We want to be sure you don’t forget about any task.

You can collapse the Todos section in the calendar, but you’ll see a hint that some tasks are not yet scheduled for a specific time.

🗓️ 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”.
