Common pitfalls
When your system stops helping, you do not need to rebuild everything. A small change at the point causing friction is often enough.
Your first routine is too large
Reduce it to one to three steps. The first step should be possible without more planning. “Get ready in the bathroom” can become “Pick up toothbrush.”
Every task has a fixed time
Fixed times can provide orientation, but a full calendar can create extra pressure. Use anytime todos for things that should stay visible today without a precise start time.
The inbox becomes an endless list
The inbox is a collection point, not a daily plan. Schedule a few todos deliberately. Delete tasks that no longer matter or move collections into a list.
A sequence change does not appear in routines
Inserted sequences are copies. A change in the library does not automatically overwrite existing routine copies. Edit the affected routine deliberately if it should use the new version.
Everything feels out of date after a break
Open only today first. Pause routines that do not fit right now and choose one open step. You do not have to catch up on past days.
A calendar shows duplicate entries
Check whether the same calendar is being used as a read source and export target, or whether older copies still exist. Do not disconnect anything hastily. See Connect calendars for the basics.
The app feels too extensive
You do not have to use every area. One routine, one appointment and one todo can be a complete start. What do you need help with? guides you by situation.
