Your Life, Fully Organized

The Inbox is your catch-all. Any task created without a list lands here. Process it daily — move tasks to a project, schedule them, or delete them.

• Aim for Inbox Zero: every item should be triaged or deleted
• Quick-create tasks right from the Inbox input field

Projects (called Lists) are groupings of related tasks — Work, Health, Side Project, etc. Create them from the sidebar and assign a color and icon.

• Name projects by outcome, not activity (e.g. "Ship v2" not "Coding")
• You can link a Project to a Goal to track higher-level progress

Open any task to set a due date, priority (low/medium/high), urgency/importance flags, subtasks, rich notes, reminders, and tags.

• High priority + urgent = do today
• Use subtasks to break down complex work into checkable steps
• Tags let you filter across all projects (e.g. #deep-work, #quick)

Mark any task as repeating — daily, weekly, monthly, or a custom interval like 'every 3 days' or 'weekdays only'. The task will regenerate automatically.

• Use recurring tasks for habits that require scheduling (e.g. "Send weekly update")
• Use the Habits module for binary daily check-ins instead

Go to Habits and click '+'. Give it a name, icon, and color. You can also set a daily reminder time so Orbit notifies you.

• Keep habits small and achievable — 5 items max to start
• Be specific: "Meditate 10 min" beats "Be mindful"

Each day, open your Habits page and tick off completed rituals. The Habit Snapshot widget on your Dashboard shows today's status at a glance.

• Best done first thing in the morning or last thing at night
• Missed days are highlighted so you can see patterns, not hide them

Head to Analytics to see your Consistency Score per habit and an Activity Heatmap that shows which days you're strongest and weakest.

• Look for weekly drop-off points (e.g. always miss Sundays)
• A 70%+ consistency rate is excellent — don't chase 100%

Create a Goal with a clear title, target date, color, and status (active / paused / completed). Think in terms of 90-day outcomes.

• Use specific outcomes: "Run a 5K under 25 min by June" not "Get fit"
• Give each goal a distinct color so you can spot it across the app

When creating or editing a Project (List), choose a Goal to link it to. Tasks in that project automatically count toward the goal's progress.

• One goal can have multiple linked projects
• Unlinked projects show as General tasks on the Global Progress widget

The Global Progress and Goals Due Soon widgets on your Dashboard surface goal health at a glance. Goals within 7 days show a banner alert.

Navigate to /focus or click the Focus timer widget. Start the timer — it runs in the background even if you switch pages. Your session is logged when you stop.

• Classic Pomodoro: 25 min work, 5 min break
• Aim for 4+ sessions (2 hours) of deep work daily

The Focus Time Summary widget on your Dashboard shows today's total. The Focus Distribution chart in Analytics shows how your deep work is distributed across categories.

• Morning sessions tend to be the most productive — front-load deep work
• Use focus data to negotiate your calendar and protect deep work blocks
