Routines

Create routines, sets of up to 50 tasks you add to a day in one go, on the Routines page, save today’s tasks as a routine and add one to Today or your Inbox.

A routine is a set of tasks you add to a day in one go, like a morning or shutdown routine.

Create a routine

  1. Open the user menu (your initials in the top-right corner) and choose Routines. You can also press G then R, or press ⌘/Ctrl + K and choose Open routines.

  2. Click New routine.

  3. Give it a Routine name, for example “Morning routine”.

  4. Add the tasks. Give each one a title and an estimate, and use the arrows to change their order. You’ll see the total time at the bottom.

  5. Save the routine.

A routine can hold up to 50 tasks.

Save today’s tasks as a routine

Already have a good day planned? On the Routines page, click Save today’s tasks as a routine. Planzer copies today’s tasks with their titles, estimates, priorities, tags and projects into a new routine that you can name and tweak.

Add a routine to your day

There are two ways:

  • From a day column: click the small arrow next to Add Task at the bottom of any day. Under Routines, pick the routine and its tasks are added to that day.

  • From the Routines page: choose whether to add the routine to Today or your Inbox, then add it.

Each routine task becomes a normal task, so you can reorder, edit, schedule or delete it just like any other.

Edit or delete a routine

On the Routines page, click Edit or Delete on the routine. You can also jump there with Manage routines in the arrow menu next to Add Task, or create one with Create a routine.

Routines, templates or repeating tasks?

  • Use a routine when you want to add several tasks at once, whenever you choose.

  • Use a template for a single, detailed task you create again and again, such as one with a checklist of subtasks.

  • Use a repeating task when one task should come back automatically on a schedule, such as every weekday or every two weeks on Monday and Thursday.
