Auto-Scheduling Tasks

Efficiently time block tasks within your calendar using Smarty's auto-scheduling capabilities.

Walkthrough

How to Auto-Schedule

  • Command Line: Input your task followed by @ auto-schedule.

  • Task Side-Panel: Click on when -> auto-schedule.

By default, if you create a task without picking auto-schedule, Smarty will place it in the next available free slot today, even if it's outside your default working hours.

Setting Up Your Working Hours

Configure your default working hours in Smarty. This helps Smarty know when to ideally schedule tasks for you. Remember, unless explicitly told, Smarty won't schedule tasks outside of these hours.

Smarty ensures that auto-scheduled tasks don't clash with events on your calendar. If tasks might overlap with scheduled events, Smarty will find the best adjacent time block.

Recurring Tasks with Approximate Times

Smarty schedules the instance of a recurring task as close to the approximate time as possible. Past times are avoided.

Respecting Calendar Events

Smarty doesn't overlap tasks with "busy" events on your calendar. Ensure non-blocking events on your calendar are marked as "free" or "available" for best results.

Auto-Rescheduling

Purpose: Adapt and adjust your schedule when tasks take more or less time than anticipated.

What Triggers Auto-Rescheduling

  • Conflicting Task Times: If you manually set tasks that conflict, Smarty will auto-resolve the timing.

  • Early Task Completion: Finish a task ahead of its end time? Smarty will reorganize subsequent tasks to fill the gap.

Controlling Auto-Rescheduling

  • Manual Override: By dragging & dropping a task or selecting a new date & time for a task, you will turn off auto-scheduling for that task.

Embrace the Power of Auto-Scheduling

  • Time Efficiency: Save time by avoiding manual reorganization.

  • Balanced Day: Smarty ensures tasks are distributed evenly throughout your day.

  • Flexibility: The system adapts to changes in tasks or priorities seamlessly.

  • Reduced Stress: No more daily decision fatigue regarding task ordering.

Trust Smarty's smart algorithm to efficiently manage and optimize your day. Dive in, embrace the convenience, and boost your productivity.
