How Orbit works

A system that gets quieter as you use it.

Orbit helps you collect what matters, choose what belongs today, and learn enough from each week to make the next one clearer.

The daily loop

Four decisions. In order.

Capture, organize, act, review.

Every new task starts in Inbox. Give it a title and get back to what you were doing.

Inbox is for collecting, not for working from forever.

Move related tasks into Projects. Link a project to a Goal only when the connection helps you make a better decision.

Projects organize work. Goals provide optional direction.

Today is where you choose the next useful task. Use Calendar for commitments and Focus when you need uninterrupted time.

A full day is not a better day. Keep the list small.

Weekly Review connects completed work, focus, habits, and friction so the next week begins with context.

Analytics support the review. They are not the point of the system.

Use them when a project needs a larger outcome. Do not manufacture them for every task.

Start a session when it helps. It should support your work, not become another metric to chase.

Projects, dates, and priority are close. Recurrence, reminders, and milestones stay out of the way until needed.

The rest of the system can wait until it is useful.
