Adopts same principles as [[The Ideal Week]], but with much more clarity as you know what you want to work on during that time. ### Tasks - Recurrence patterns are created using LLMs? crazy ### AI - Can be helpful for people who need external accountability - AI planner is to easily take action on the planning and configuration you set out for yourself earlier - At the end of the day before you classify tasks and update them, then tomorrow you just plan - More flexible ## Nice to haves - Can create recurring tasks during creation of something as well - Can have folders or sections for the tasks we have - Re-organize task list - Natural language conversion when adding tasks on the sidebar ## Calendar - ![[Morgen-20241120205741481.webp]] - Isn't part of scheduling even though I triggered it from there - Can there be defaults in settings you can configure for how many days ahead you want to plan? I end up readjusting every time to one day, and sometimes i would want even just the block, not the day ## Frames ### Types - Goldfish - Linear tasks - Morgen tasks - Personal Brand - Content creation related - Clickup Video Editing tasks - USV - Notion Tasks (in progress) - Laken - Todoist tasks - LYT - Clickup tasks - All tasks ### Layout - See in [[My Vision Board]] ## Usage Frames - I have goals across quarterly/monthly timeframes and projects across weekly timeframes, which I convert into frame filters. - At the start of the week, I think about what I want to focus on (how many hours, in what order, etc.) and based on that I plan out my "ideal week" in Morgen. AI Planner - Usually just been running it either at the start of the day, but most of the time my schedule changes so I end up moving frames throughout the day and re-planning / moving the tasks manually to keep the order I want them in. - With frames, I get to automatically query for my tasks to automatically plan them out for the day. Usually, I still have to change the schedule, but it's a good rough estimate. It's like coding where you give it your intentions (but in this case the prompts you give are frames), and then it gives you a rough draft to iterate and refine. - Benefit of AI planner: flexibility in rescheduling tasks without pressure to complete immediately. - Option to reschedule ASAP or during the next available time block. - Respects other daily commitments. - Current limitation: cannot move overdue tasks immediately; must reschedule to the next day. - This is sensible as it avoids additional stress on the current day. - Improvement suggestion: allow planning the next day's schedule the day before. - To fully trust the AI planner, I need to schedule tasks daily and not archive them. - Proper time estimates will automatically fill the daily schedule. - Obsidian tasks integration: using due dates in titles for prioritization. ### Colors - Time blocking - cape #2A243C - Morgen - Second gold #E9B06D - Projects - Teal #07CFF1 - Personal - Eye middle pink #D51F94 - Events - white shirt #E0F4FF - [email protected] - Break - dark purple #6D095F
