The work, and what
the work was for.

Tasks, projects that end and a calendar your day fits into — with every item still attached to the goal and the life area it came from.

Aliigned Tasks: a task traced back through its project and goal to its life area; a project at 64%, the week’s hours boxed.

Three surfaces

One week, seen three ways.

The same work as a board, as bounded projects, and as hours on a calendar. Which one you open depends on what you are trying to decide.

Tasks on a board in five states, each with the project or goal it belongs to.

Tasks

Five states, from backlog to done. Every task says where it belongs — a project, a goal or a life area — so a full list still tells you why each thing is on it.

Projects with their progress, what they serve and their next tasks.

Projects

Bounded work with an end date. A project serves a goal and the life areas it touches, and every task in it carries that goal, so finishing it means something beyond an empty column.

The week as hours: meetings from Google Calendar, tasks, habits and blockers.

Timeboxing

Your day as hours rather than a list. Drag tasks, habits and your own blockers, like deep work, into time, right next to your meetings from Google Calendar.

The numbers underneath

Busy and productive stop looking the same.

What fits, what got finished, which projects are landing, and whether the deep work held.

The week’s boxed hours against the hours free of meetings; Friday runs 1½ hours over.
The week has a budget
Block your work into the hours you actually have, next to your meetings. A week that does not fit shows on Monday, when you can still do something about it.
48 tasks finished in 14 days, most of them for a goal.
What actually got finished
What you finished, and which goal each task was for. It is the difference between a heavy week that moved what matters and one that only kept you busy.
Three active projects, each with an end date and the goal or area it serves.
Projects that end
Each project shows how far along it is, when it ends and what it serves. Work that is bounded gets to finish, which is the difference between a project and a list that grows forever.
Deep-work blocks this week: 3 of 4 kept so far.
Did the deep work survive
Make a deep-work blocker once and drop it into any day, for as long as you need. Your calendar shows whether it held up against the week.

Task app questions, answered honestly.

What a project is that a task is not, whether you have to timebox, and how any of it reaches your day.

It can be. The difference is not the list — it is that every task can trace back to a project, a goal and a life area, so a busy week is answerable rather than just full.

Put this week somewhere it makes sense.
