Planning system guide

Put each commitment in the tool that matches its job.

Tasks, calendar events, and reminders solve different problems. A clear system preserves those differences while showing them together.

From scattered information to one useful decision.

What this guide helps you decide

  • Tasks hold flexible work.
  • Events reserve fixed time.
  • Reminders return attention at the right moment.
  • Review all three in one daily context.

Use tasks for flexible actions

A task describes work that must be done but can often move. Give it a duration, priority, and enough context to begin.

Use calendar events for fixed time

An event represents a commitment to a specific time, often involving another person or a location. Avoid using the calendar as a storage place for every possible task.

Use reminders for attention

A reminder brings a detail back at the right moment. It is useful for a prompt that might otherwise be forgotten, even when it does not require a full work block.

Bring the result into Aylow

Keep the plan, tasks, reminders, calendar context, and supporting work together when you are ready to continue.
