Mind Your Now

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.

We Value Your Feedback

As always, we're committed to improving Mind Your Now based on your needs and experiences. We'd love to hear your thoughts on these features and any suggestions you might have for future updates.

Thank you for being part of the Mind Your Now community. Here's to boosting your productivity and achieving your goals!

Happy organizing!

Task Scheduling Enhancements at Mind Your Now

At Mind Your Now, we're always striving to make task management as seamless and intuitive as possible. Our aim is to free up more of your time for the things that truly matter to you. We're excited to share that we've made some significant enhancements to our task scheduling capabilities, further elevating your ability to organize and prioritize your tasks effectively.

Ladybug Update Stabilization

Some of you may remember the Ladybug update we announced earlier, which introduced an AI-powered automatic task scheduling feature. We've been thrilled to see the positive response and valuable feedback from our community. Since its release, our team has been hard at work on stabilizing the Ladybug update. While it was an early preview, we're now confident that the Ladybug update is more stable, providing a seamless scheduling experience.

Introducing Schedule Editors

One of the major enhancements we've added is the Schedule Editor feature. This feature allows you to manually adjust and customize your task schedules as per your needs. While our AI does a great job at automatically scheduling tasks, we understand that sometimes you might need to make manual adjustments. The Schedule Editor is designed to provide you with the flexibility to do just that.

Connecting Your Calendars

To get the most out of Mind Your Now, we've also added the ability to connect your Google and Microsoft calendars. By connecting your calendars, Mind Your Now can schedule your tasks around your personal, family, or work events. Please note that you should set up your Google calendar as your primary account and Microsoft calendar as a secondary one.

We're Just Getting Started

These enhancements are part of our ongoing commitment to making Mind Your Now the best tool for task management. We're excited about these changes and we're even more excited about what's to come. As always, we value your feedback. If you have any suggestions, comments, or encounter any issues, please let us know.

Thank you for using Mind Your Now, and stay tuned for more updates!

Introducing Ladybug: Automating Task Scheduling with AI

We are excited to announce our latest update, internally dubbed "Ladybug". This new feature uses real AI to automatically schedule your tasks into calendar events. With Ladybug, you can easily manage your to-do list and free up more time for the things that matter.

What is Ladybug?

Ladybug is an early preview of our new automated task scheduling feature. It uses AI to schedule your tasks around events on your personal, family, or work calendars. This means that you can focus on what you need to do, without worrying about whether you have time to do it.

How Does Ladybug Work?

To use Ladybug, you need to have your Google calendar set up as your primary account. This means that it should be the first calendar listed on your Mind Your Now account. You can then add Microsoft calendar as a secondary calendar, but please note that there may be some issues with stability of the Microsoft support. If you encounter any issues, you can simply delete and reconnect your Microsoft account. We are working to clean up these known issues over the next few weeks.

Once you have set up your calendars, Ladybug can start working its magic. It uses AI to automatically schedule your tasks based on the events on your calendar. Ladybug can also help you organize your tasks into four categories: Critical, Opportunity Now, Over The Horizon, and Parking Lot items. This makes it easy to prioritize and manage your tasks.

Please note that Ladybug is still in early preview, and there may be some issues with the schedule editor and timezone compatibility. We are working to address these issues over time to improve your experience.

How to Use Ladybug

Using Ladybug is easy. Simply log in to your Mind Your Now account and navigate to the new Home/Briefing page. Here, you can see your upcoming meetings and events, as well as your to-do list. Ladybug will automatically schedule your tasks around your events, and you can easily see what you need to do next.

Try Ladybug Today

Ladybug is still in early preview, so there may be a few bugs or missing features. However, we are confident that it will help you manage your tasks more efficiently and free up more time for the things that matter. So why not give it a try today?

To get started, simply log in to your Mind Your Now account and navigate to the new Home/Briefing page. If you encounter any issues or have any feedback, please let us know. We are always looking for ways to improve our products and make your life easier.

Thank you for using Mind Your Now, and we hope you enjoy the Ladybug update!
