​
When to Use Today

Daily Reviews

Focused Execution

When you want a clean list without distractions from future tasks
Pro Tip: Today view only shows tasks with dates set to today. Use it for execution, not planning.

​
Upcoming View

​
Grouped by Date

The Upcoming view organizes tasks into date sections: 
Upcoming

​
Someday View

Your idea parking lot for tasks you might do later.

​
Someday / Maybe Philosophy

Someday is based on GTD’s “Someday/Maybe” concept: capture ideas without committing to action. This clears mental space while preserving potentially valuable ideas. 
Someday / Maybe
8 ideas parked for later

● Learning (3 tasks)
  □ Take advanced TypeScript course
  □ Learn Figma properly
  □ Read "Designing Data-Intensive Applications"

● Side Projects (2 tasks)
  □ Build personal portfolio site
  □ Start photography blog

📦 Loose Ideas (3 tasks)
  □ Research standing desks
  □ Plan Japan trip
  □ Learn to make sourdough

​
Activating Someday Tasks

When you’re ready to work on a someday task:
1

Click the checkbox

This activates the task by changing its status to ‘todo’
2

Move to appropriate view

The activated task moves to Anytime or can be scheduled to Today/Upcoming
3

Plan the work

Add a date, assign to a project, or keep in Anytime for flexible execution
The Someday view header says “ideas parked” instead of “tasks” - reinforcing that these are possibilities, not commitments.

​
When to Use Someday

  • Inbox Zero Practice: Move “maybe later” tasks here instead of leaving them in Today/Anytime
  • Weekly Review: Browse someday tasks to see if any feel relevant now
  • Idea Capture: Quickly save ideas without cluttering active task lists
  • Dream Parking: Keep aspirational projects visible without guilt

​
Moving Tasks Between Views

Tasks automatically appear in different views based on their properties:
Task PropertyAppears In
date: todayToday, Inbox (if high energy)
date: futureUpcoming
date: null, status: todoAnytime, Inbox (if high energy)
status: somedaySomeday
status: completedLogbook
isEvening: trueToday (Evening section)

​
Workflow: Planning a Task

  1. Create task (appears in Anytime)
  2. Assign to project if relevant
  3. Set energy level

​
Best Practices

  1. Morning: Check Today view for commitments
  2. Work blocks: Use Inbox with energy filters for deep work
  3. Afternoon: Check Upcoming to prep for tomorrow
  4. Evening: Mark tasks complete, review Evening section
  1. Review Upcoming: Are next week’s tasks realistic?
  2. Check Anytime: Are projects progressing? Any stalled?
  3. Browse Someday: Activate 1-2 ideas that feel energizing
  4. Plan 3-5 high-focus tasks for the week
  • Schedule high-focus tasks (purple) in Today’s morning slots
  • Keep neutral tasks (yellow) for afternoon context switching
  • Save low-energy tasks (green) for end-of-day in Evening section
  • Use Anytime when you’re unsure what to work on
Master this flow: Capture in Anytime → Schedule to Today/Upcoming → Execute via Inbox → Review in Logbook → Defer to Someday if needed.
