What's Next
All your deadlines in one place, and what to work on first.
Welcome to What's Next
It keeps all your deadlines in one place and tells you what to work on next.
- Import from Canvas (just below) brings in your real assignments.
- Do this next ranks your tasks by due date, hours, difficulty, and grade weight.
- Today's plan: enter the hours you have, and it splits them across your tasks.
- ▶ Start times your work and logs it for you.
- Calendar (in the menu) shows everything by due date.
These are sample tasks so you can try everything out. Add your own task and they disappear.

Insights
Where your time goes
When you focus
Your estimates vs. reality
Once a course has 2 or more finished tasks with time logged, Today's plan and the hours per day use how long that course really takes you.
Heavy-week warnings
The Tasks screen warns you when a week in the next three needs at least 25% more than this.
Time logged before Insights existed has no date, so it isn't in the charts above. It still counts toward your estimates.
Focus mode
Pick one task. The timer starts and everything else is cleared away until you stop.
No tasks to focus on yet. Add one on the Tasks screen first.
