After, or while creating a task, you can schedule or postpone it.
So, if you cannot assign a task action date yet, check out our guide on how to snooze a task. Akiflow will remind you about that later.
How to plan a task?
Plan a task while creating using the Command Bar, or by hitting P on an existing task.
🕘 Examples of dates and times:
Use natural language while creating a task to plan it.
- “Today”
- “Tom 9am”
- “Fri at 16 for 1h”
- “From 5 to 6pm”
- “in 2 days”
- “Next week”
- “1st of Jan”
- “Mon evening”
- “Tod noon”
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”.
