Next Up
Time preferences
Allow the user to define time preferences through the creation of slots
Group tasks through drag & drop
Allow the user to drag & drop tasks together, grouping tasks together into an unnamed slot
Slot-based time allocation
Allow the user to allocate time for a task based on her time preferences e.g "something in Focus for 30 min"
Slack integration
Allow the user to turn a Slack message into a Routine task within Slack through an integration.
Google Tasks integration
Integrate Google Tasks (would allow the user to use the "Add to Tasks" in Gmail)
Context notes through dashboard
Contextual notes in dashboard: daily or linked to current meeting
Daily notes
Allow the user to take and edit daily notes, effectively creating a journal
Reference object
Allow referencing an object (page, task, person) through #
Tagging
Allow the user to put a #tag anywhere (task name, notes, people etc.) to link information. In effect, tags would be notes with a pre-configured view.
Considering
Advanced console time blocking
Allow the user to specify a range for a task. The console displays the different openings for the given day allowing the user to select one.
0%
Launch at startup
Add Routine to login items automatically for Routine to be launched at start up
Reschedule link in calendar events
Add a reschedule link in calendar events to help the user reschedule even events that we not created through Routine
Agenda block/allow overriding
Allow overriding schedule with periods of time for which the user enforces allowing meetings to be scheduled for instance, or blocking everything from being scheduled. Today, people creates calendar events to block time for lunch etc. Those are not good solutions.
Ignore events
The user can "ignore" an event in order to indicate that this event is no longer relevant e.g has been done already or else; an "ignored" event is removed from the agenda. This is particularly useful to clear the Agenda view when there are conflicting events (taking place at the same time); right now resulting in multiple NOW lines.
Maybe "hiding" would be more relevant than "ignoring".
Actions screen
Display the action notifications received (conflicts, commute, product update, reminders, all-day events etc.) and allow the user to act upon them.
Project
Allow users to create a new Project object in notes that would represent a special progress-led task.
Goals
Allow the user to define goals; those would be displayed in the dashboard (https://blog.asana.com/2020/07/goals/).
These goals could even be recurrent e.g "Exercise every week". We could even go further and allow for multistep objectives e.g "Exercise 3 times a week"; would create a recurrent objective (i.e that would expire at the end of the week and be recreated every week) that would need to be ticked (?) 3 times to be completed, with a progress bar showing the percentage of completion.
Another approach would be to perform X times the action to achieve the objective.
Task priority
Allow the user to specify a priority for tasks and projects.
Pomodoro
Allow users to record/track (through keyboard shortcut) how much time they're spending on a given task. For instance, when opening a task, they could start timing and it would automatically create an event from start time.
Google Contacts birthdays actions
Fetch Google Contacts' birthdays and display them in the actions panel
0%
Task delegation
Allow the user to delegate a task to someone else, being notified when the task changes states (postponed, time secured in calendar etc.) but also allowing the original user to request a status update.
When the task is completed, it boomerangs back to the original user for review.
Reschedule tasks
The user can reschedule tasks for which time has been allocated either manually or through slots allowing, in the future, for "reschedule my morning".
Share meeting notes
Allow sharing meeting notes with participants and more people.
Bulk operations
Allow the user to select multiple objects (e.g tasks) to perform bulk actions e.g schedule, archive etc. Also allow using CMD+A to select everything: tasks in Inbox, tasks of the day, text in notes etc.
Filtered views
Allow the user to create filtered view objects
Convert note into a template

Inbox processing
Processing means unstacking every item one after the other, in full screen view, to maximize focus. This view will only be accessible through the Agenda view (on the processing event with a "start" button) and in the Event view (when in a processing event), see below
Offline mode
Allow the user to work offline & synchronize states when back online
Synchronization
Synchronize the states bidirectionnally, automatically 1) updating the local state and "reloading" the current page if necessary (including modifications made to the calendar) and 2) pushing the local modifications onto the network
Attach documents in notes
Allow the user to add attachments to notes through /attach, /upload etc.

Text-selection-based capture
Trigger a keyboard with text selected (e.g Slack, WhatsApp etc.) and pre-fill the console with the selected text and add a link to the app/Web page; noteworthy is that it is possible (Kairn) to do this without introducing another keyboard shortcut.
