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.
