Daily Workflow
TaskSpot is built around a simple daily routine. Here's how to use it from morning to evening.
Morning routine
- Log in — You'll see a personalized greeting with your name and today's date.
- Review Today — Check the Today view for tasks due today or carried over from yesterday.
- Plan your day — Add tasks using the task form. Use n to focus the input and add multiple tasks quickly.
- Check Tomorrow — Glance at tomorrow's tasks to avoid surprises.
- Review Backlog — Move items from Backlog to Today or Tomorrow as needed. Drag-and-drop or use the move menu on each task.
Throughout the day
- Complete tasks — Click the checkmark or press x (or Enter when a task is selected) to mark tasks done.
- Track progress — The daily progress bar shows how many of today's tasks you've completed.
- Add new tasks — Add tasks as they come up. No need to plan everything in the morning.
- Reorder — Drag tasks to reorder, or use Shift+J / Shift+K to move the selected task down or up.
End of day
- Review Done — Visit the Done view to see what you accomplished.
- Celebrate — If you completed all today's tasks, you'll get a confetti celebration. Mini confetti also appears every 5th task.
- Plan tomorrow — Move incomplete tasks to Tomorrow or Backlog. Add new tasks for tomorrow if needed.
Productivity tips
- Progress bar — The bar in the sidebar shows today's completion percentage. Use it to stay on track.
- Streak counter — Complete at least one task each day to build your streak. The flame icon grows as you maintain consistency.
- Confetti — Epic confetti when all tasks are done; mini confetti every 5th task. A little motivation goes a long way.
- Morning briefing — Enable optional morning briefing emails in Settings → Notifications for a daily summary in your inbox.
