Tap a Critical Now task to finish it. Sample tasks.

Would I stay late to finish this?

That’s the Going Home Test. One question at the junction decides the track. Ask it of any task and you know where it goes.

Ideas you’re not ready for. Reviewed weekly, no guilt.

The four zones and the Going Home Test come from Michael E. Linenberger’s Master Your Now method.

Kaia moves things. She shows her work.

Kaia is an optional AI planning assistant. When she changes a task on her own, she writes the reason on it and leaves an Undo right next to it. Turn on “Let Kaia run the method” and she keeps each zone within its limit.

  • Signed. Her name, the time and the reason, on each task she changes on her own.
  • Undoable. One tap puts it back, until something else changes the task.
  • Asks first. When Kaia acts on her own, nothing in Critical Now changes without your OK.
