Frees working memory
Unfinished tasks keep resurfacing until they are captured somewhere trusted. A written list ends the loop.
Turns dread into a step
"Sort out the tax" is a mood. "Find last year's form, 10 minutes" is something you can start.
Reminds without nagging
Gentle reminders arrive at the time you chose, not every hour, so the plan stays an ally.
Shows what you did do
On low days a completed list is evidence against the feeling that nothing got done.
The Zeigarnik effect describes how uncompleted intentions stay active in memory and keep intruding. Later work showed the intrusions stop not when the task is finished but when a specific plan exists for it — implementation intentions of the form "when X happens, I will do Y". Across more than a hundred studies, that if-then format roughly doubles the odds of a goal being acted on compared with intention alone. Behavioural activation, one of the most effective treatments for depression, is essentially this: schedule small, meaningful actions and let mood follow behaviour rather than waiting for the reverse.
Empty your head first: write every task down without judging or ordering them.
Pick three that actually matter today and mark them as your priorities. The rest is a backlog, not a failure.
Give each priority a time and a place — "after breakfast, at the kitchen table" beats "sometime today".
Break anything you keep postponing into a first step that takes ten minutes or less.
Set recurring items for the things that repeat, so you stop re-deciding them every morning.
At night, tick what you finished and move the rest forward without rewriting your worth.
| When it feels… | Try | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Too big to start | Ten-minute first step | Starting is the hardest part; momentum does the rest |
| Vague and nagging | Write it as a verb + object | A named action can be finished; a topic cannot |
| Repetitive | A recurring task | Removes the daily decision cost |
| Time-sensitive | A reminder at the moment of use | Recall fails; cues do not |
| Draining | Schedule it before your energy dip | Most people fade mid-afternoon |
| Avoided for weeks | Pair it with something pleasant | Reduces the anticipatory dread |
Not every task needs the same treatment — the method matters more than the willpower.
It is built for low-energy days rather than maximum output. Priorities are capped, completed items are shown back to you as evidence, and reminders are deliberately gentle. It also sits next to your mood and sleep data, so you can see how a heavy day affects the next one.
Only if you ask for them. Reminders are per-task and per-time, and you can turn them off entirely in your profile.
Yes — you can plan as a guest and your tasks stay on this device. Signing in syncs them across devices and keeps them if you clear your browser.
Almost nobody does. A list is a menu, not a contract. If unfinished items pile up, reduce the daily count to three rather than pushing harder — chronically unmet plans reliably lower motivation.
Yes. The planner switches to the Jalali calendar and Persian numerals automatically in the Persian version, including the month view.
