Today's Actions

Build a focused daily plan from the same task engine used in My Tasks. This page only shows items scheduled for today in your local time.

What you will do here

  • Review today's scheduled items in one place.
  • Use top tabs to switch between Today's Tasks, Lessons Added, and Mental Models Added.
  • See goal-related items and custom events for today only.
  • Daily Action chat resets each new local day; previous day chats are archived.
  • Get child-first task display (to-do over parent action/goal steps).
  • Open the Journal context dropdown to switch between This week and Last week summary.
  • Generate a clear schedule with the Daily Action Architect.
  • Mark action steps and to-dos as Draft scaffold or Committed directly in Today's Tasks.
  • Create Repeatable Plans for recurring practice (daily or weekday-specific templates).
  • Link Repeatable Plan items to goal work (goal step, action step, or todo) so routines stay tied to execution.
  • Link a Repeatable Plan to a goal so routine occurrences appear under that goal in Today's Tasks.
  • Use Mark done on routine items to complete that specific day's occurrence, then choose whether to also complete linked goal work.
  • Deactivate outdated routines without deleting historical completion records.
  • See a drift alert when 7-day routine adherence drops below 60% so you can adjust quickly.
  • AI Copilot for Repeatable Plans is conversational and collects required planning details before it drafts.
  • Use the Create with AI Copilot button to open a right-side chat drawer.
  • The copilot drawer uses split view: chat on the left and an editable plan matrix on the right.
  • Copilot responses stream live while your plan context is analyzed.
  • AI-generated routines are shown in a weekly matrix so each day has visible, concrete tasks.
  • The matrix is generated from your stated goal, level, constraints, cadence, and available session time.
  • Draft changes stay in session until you choose Confirm plan.
  • Videos and links are optional supporting resources under the plan, not the plan itself.
  • Copilot asks one clear question at a time (for example: "What do you hope to achieve with this plan?").
  • Internet research for Repeatable Plans is opt-in and requires citations when enabled.
  • AI draft recommendations can include embedded YouTube videos and external references directly in the repeatable plan workflow.
  • Liking a recommended video saves it to Video Library and links it to the selected repeatable plan.
  • Saved plan-linked videos remain visible in the corresponding repeatable plan card.
  • AI draft flow includes Use draft, Revise, and Discard controls so plans are only saved on explicit confirmation.
  • Goal Step cards can show a conditional Create repeatable plan button when the step appears routine-based.
  • Filter Today's Tasks by All, Committed, or Draft to focus execution.
  • If drafts outweigh committed items, you will see a readiness nudge and one-click prompts to commit top drafts first.
  • Weekly push safety net: if readiness is low on 3 or more of the last 7 local days, you get one weekly push reminder to commit top drafts.
  • On a new day, the chat starts with a simple yes/no prompt to generate today's plan.
  • When the agent proposes a revision, use Accept Revision or Discard before it replaces the live plan.
  • Live Plan and Proposed Plan sections are collapsible so the page stays compact.
  • If a live plan is from a prior day, use Refresh For Today to regenerate for current local date.
  • The agent checks yesterday's task completion (custom and goal-related) and addresses carryover first when needed.
  • Chat responses stream in progressively so you can read and adjust sooner.
  • Generated plans always include two sections: Committed for today and Drafts to decide.

Before you start

  • Set your time zone and working hours in Profile Settings.
  • Make sure your goals and steps are created in Goal Planner.

Step-by-step

  1. Schedule tasks in My Tasks: Add and schedule your goal steps, action steps, to-dos, or custom tasks.
  2. Add repeatable routines: In Repeatable Plans, create an every-day template and optional weekday templates (for example, Monday strength, Tuesday run, Wednesday cardio).
  3. Open Today's Actions: The page automatically shows only today's local-date items, including custom events.
  4. Draft the plan: Start from the yes/no kickoff question, then describe the day you want. The assistant uses your current context, including lessons, mental models, and journal insights.
  5. Execute: Follow the timeline and complete the visible child tasks first.
  6. Review: End the day with a brief reflection so the system learns what worked, what needs adjustment, and a one-line proof of progress (note or link).

Why this works

  • PCT (control loop): Daily actions reduce the gap between your goal and current state with fast feedback.
  • Goal-Setting Theory: The plan creates opportunity, and small wins strengthen capability and motivation.
  • Self-determination theory: You choose the actions, which supports autonomy and competence.

Tips

  • Schedule tasks with clear times so they appear in Today's Actions.
  • Front-load a quick win to build momentum.
  • If a to-do is present, focus on that item instead of parent steps.
  • Journal through the week so your planning context gets smarter.

If something feels off

  • Actions feel too long? Reduce the list or shorten time blocks.
  • Timer not updating? Refresh the page to reset the countdown.
