🌅 Morning Planning Flow

✨ Revolutionary Daily Planning

Start each day with clarity and intention. The Morning Planning Flow helps you set goals, select projects, and use AI to convert your thoughts into actionable tasks - all designed for neurodivergent minds.

How to Access Morning Planning

  1. Click the 🌅 Morning Planning link in your sidebar (2nd item from top)
  2. You'll see a warm, welcoming interface with today's date
  3. The system greets you based on the time of day (morning, afternoon, or evening)

Complete Step-by-Step Guide

1Set Your Daily & Weekly Goals

Start by setting clear intentions for your day and week. This helps create focus and prevents overwhelm.

📅 Daily Goals
  • • Click the "Add daily goal" button
  • • Write what you want to accomplish today
  • • Keep it specific and achievable
  • • Track progress with the checkbox
  • • See completion percentage at the top
🎯 Weekly Goals
  • • Click the "Add weekly goal" button
  • • Think bigger picture for this week
  • • Goals persist throughout the week
  • • Visual progress bar shows completion
  • • Can delete goals if priorities change

💡 Pro Tip: Start small! Better to complete 2 goals than feel overwhelmed by 10. You can always add more as you go.

2Select Your Focus Projects (Max 4)

Choose up to 4 projects to focus on today. This limitation is intentional - it prevents overwhelm and promotes deep work.

How to Select Projects:
  1. If no projects are selected, click "Select Projects"
  2. If projects are already chosen, click "Change Projects"
  3. A modal opens showing all your active projects
  4. Use the search bar to find specific projects quickly
  5. Click projects to select/deselect them (see checkmarks)
  6. The system shows "X/4 projects selected" at the top
  7. Click "Apply Selection" when ready

🧠 Neurodivergent Insight: The 4-project limit reduces decision fatigue and context switching, which can be especially challenging for ADHD and autistic minds.

3Use AI to Generate Tasks from Your Thoughts

The magic happens here! Write your thoughts in natural language, and AI converts them into structured, actionable tasks.

Writing Effective Input:
✅ Good Examples:

"Fix the login bug, add user authentication, write tests for the API endpoints"

"Research competitors, draft marketing plan, design new landing page"

"Clean bedroom, organize closet, do laundry, meal prep for the week"

❌ Less Effective:

"Work on stuff" (too vague)

"Do everything" (overwhelming)

"Fix" (no context)

The Generation Process:
  1. Type your thoughts in the text area for each project
  2. Click "✨ Generate Tasks" button
  3. AI analyzes your input and creates structured tasks
  4. Each task gets a title, description, priority, and time estimate
  5. Tasks appear in a review panel below

🔑 Requires API Key: You need either an OpenAI or Gemini API key for this feature. Add yours in Settings. All processing happens securely with your own key.

4Review, Edit & Approve Your Tasks

You're in complete control. Review each AI-generated task and decide what works for you.

Task Review Options:
✅ Approve

Click the checkmark to approve a task exactly as generated

✏️ Edit

Click the pencil icon to modify the task title or details

🗑️ Remove

Click the X to remove tasks that don't fit your needs

Understanding Task Details:
  • • Priority: Color-coded flags (🔴 High, 🟡 Medium, 🟢 Low)
  • • Time Estimate: Clock icon shows estimated hours
  • • Description: Additional context for each task
  • • Approval Status: Green background = approved, white = under review
Final Step - Create Tasks:
  1. Review the "X task(s) approved" counter at the bottom
  2. Click "Create X Tasks" when you're ready
  3. Approved tasks are added to your project automatically
  4. You can now find them in your regular task management views
  5. The input area clears, ready for your next planning session
