The premium Daily Planners like Akiflow can and do provide a premium service above mere Task Managers by helping us be especially intentional in our planning rather than a warehouse of tasks. One feature I’d love to see Akiflow implement could happen during the Planning Ritual, where the system would tally the planned durations of our tasks with our planned events and let us know when what we’re planning is beyond a threshold we set, or just unrealistic altogether.

We might set, say, 10 hours of combined work as our limit, and during planning the app could more clearly point out when we’re near that limit and suggest we reschedule some tasks. It could be optional for those who prefer to have long lists, but I know I could really use the help knowing when I’ve bitten off too much. Not all of us easily see that looking at a list! And we all could use some help balancing our work with rest and play. Thank you!

Anyone else? Wouldn’t it be cool to have some help planning only what we can really do? Thanks!

PS: I can share another app where that’s offered if helpful to see it, but Akiflow is all but there already. I bet you follow! :)
