We're excited to announce an experimental AI integration for Mind Your Now, designed to make task management more intuitive and efficient. Meet Kaia 🤖, your AI assistant that understands MYN's core principles and helps you maintain control of your workday.

What Kaia Can Do 💪​

Task Creation & Management 📝​

• Create tasks with appropriate priorities based on natural language descriptions
• Understand and apply MYN's urgency zones:
  • Critical Now ⚡
  • Opportunity Now 🎯
  • Over-the-Horizon 🌅
  • Parking Lot 🅿️
• Help maintain your task list according to MYN principles

Schedule Awareness 📅​

• View your existing tasks and calendar
• Identify potential scheduling conflicts

MYN-Aware Assistant 🎓​

• Understands FRESH prioritization
• Maintains zone size limits

Current Limitations ⚠️​

As this is an experimental feature, there are some limitations:

• Cannot schedule tasks for specific times (only dates)
• Cannot create or modify calendar events
• No direct email processing capability
• Limited to text-based interactions

How to Use Kaia 🚀​

Simply describe what you need in natural language. For example:

Kaia is available now for selected users. Your feedback will help shape the future of this integration.

We're excited to give you a preview of our upcoming Planner Page! This new feature is designed to make organizing, scheduling, and prioritizing your tasks more intuitive than ever. Instead of combing through hidden menus or juggling multiple tabs, you'll manage your tasks visually—just drag and drop them into categories that reflect their importance and timing.

What is the Planner Page?​

The Planner Page is a visual board that sorts your tasks into clear, easy-to-understand columns:

• Needs Planning (📝): For tasks that require immediate attention to scheduling
• Critical (⚡): For tasks you must handle right now
• Opportunity Now (🚀): For tasks best addressed in the near term
• Over the Horizon (🌅): For tasks that are important, but can wait a bit longer
• Parking Lot (🅿️): For tasks that aren't ready for action just yet
• Someday (⏳): For tasks without a defined start date, and that may never become urgent

By labeling these columns with plain language and simple icons, the Planner Page gives you an immediate sense of what needs doing now, what's coming up, and what can wait.

🎯 Priority-Focused View​

Our signature priority system comes to life visually. Your most urgent tasks stand out front and center in the Critical column, ensuring that what truly needs your attention today never drifts into the background.

By focusing on what matters most in the present moment, you maintain a sharp sense of priority without endless lists distracting you.

How Do We Determine if Tasks Need Planning?​

If a task should have started by now but hasn't—or if it's slipped past its due date (and isn't marked Critical)—it will appear in Needs Planning (📝). This makes sure no task silently falls through the cracks. Instead of getting lost, it's highlighted so you can quickly schedule it where it belongs.

Key Features​

✨ Effortless Task Flow​

Adjusting your plans is as natural as breathing. Just drag and drop tasks between categories to shift their start dates and priorities. Life changes often—and the Planner Page changes right along with it, so you remain focused on the now while staying fully prepared for what's around the corner.

⚡ Present-Moment Task Management​

Create and modify tasks without leaving your current view. The Planner Page lets you stay in the flow, managing your commitments right where you are. This keeps your attention anchored in the present moment—no unnecessary detours, no scattered focus.

Smart Scheduling​

When you move a task into a particular column, the Planner Page can automatically set a start date based on that category's intended timeframe:

• Move to Critical (⚡) → Set to start today
• Drop into Opportunity Now (🚀) → Schedule for near future
• Focus on priorities while the Planner handles the timing

Dynamic Reprioritization Made Easy​

1. Reprioritize from Needs Planning (📝)

   • A single click redistributes tasks to their proper categories
   • No guesswork—just instant organization

2. Balancing the Critical Column (⚡)

   • Too many tasks building up? Quickly push some into Opportunity Now
   • Keep your immediate list lean and actionable

3. Adjusting for Overcrowded Opportunity (🚀)

   • Easily move overflow into Over the Horizon
   • Ensure your near-term plan stays manageable

Mastering Your Now with the Planner​

The Planner is designed to keep you present and focused while maintaining a clear view of your priorities.

Daily Practice​

1. Start Each Day Mindfully: Begin by reviewing your Critical tasks
2. Flow with Your Day: Let the visual layout guide you naturally through priorities
3. Adapt with Awareness: Adjust effortlessly as life changes

Plan for Today, Tomorrow, and Beyond​

With the Planner Page, urgent tasks show up right where you need them, while long-term goals and ideas rest quietly in the background. Should everything feel too crowded, you can "kick the can" and move tasks forward, giving yourself the breathing room you need to refocus and reset.

The Journey Continues​

The Planner is another step in our mission to help you master your present moment. We're continuously evolving to better serve your journey toward mindful productivity—keeping you engaged with what matters right now.

Still Under Construction​

Note: Though we're proud of how far the Planner Page has come, it's still under active development. You may encounter incomplete features or unexpected behaviors as we refine data persistence, enhance the interface, and perfect the scheduling logic.

Hello Mind Your Now community!

We're excited to share some recent updates and important reminders to help you make the most of Mind Your Now. Let's dive into what's new and what you might have missed!

1. New Habits Page: Your One-Stop Habit Hub​

We've introduced a brand new Habits page that allows you to view and adjust all your habits in one convenient location. This centralized view makes it simpler than ever to track your progress and make quick adjustments to your routine.

2. Revamped Priorities Page: Drag, Drop, and Conquer​

Our new Priorities page introduces an intuitive drag-and-drop interface. Now you can easily adjust the priority of your tasks by simply moving them between the Critical, Opportunity Now, Over The Horizon, and Parking Lot categories. This visual approach helps you quickly reorganize your priorities as your needs change.

3. Enhanced "Kick The Can" Feature​

We've made some significant improvements to our popular "Kick The Can" feature:

• Smarter Rescheduling: The feature now only reschedules tasks with a start date of today or in the past. Future tasks remain untouched unless you choose to use the "Rebalance" option.
• Improved Distribution: We've refined our distribution logic to prevent tasks from being pushed too far into the future. Here's how it works:
  • Critical tasks are spread over at least 7 days, with no more than 5 per day.
  • Opportunity Now tasks are distributed across at least 14 days, with a maximum of 20 per day.
  • Over The Horizon tasks are spread over a minimum of 30 days, with no more than 3 per day.
  • Parking Lot tasks are distributed across at least 90 days, with a cap of 3 per day.
• Future View Reminder: Don't forget to use the "Show Future" option to view tasks that have been rescheduled to future dates.

4. Calendar Integration Reminder​

We'd like to remind you about the importance of calendar integration to get the most out of Mind Your Now. This integration allows our AI to schedule your tasks more effectively around your existing commitments. Here's what you need to know:

• You can integrate both Google and Microsoft calendars with Mind Your Now.
• If you haven't set up your calendar integration yet, here's how to do it:
  1. Go to your account settings
  2. Select "Calendar Integration"
  3. Follow the prompts to link your preferred calendar(s)

By connecting your calendars, you'll experience a more seamless and personalized task management experience.
