When you’ve got a task to act upon, Routine provides several ways to plan it.
📅 Assign Date
The easiest way to plan time to work on a task is to assign it a date through the schedule action. Click the 📅 button or use the ⌘/^
L
keyboard shortcut.

Note that scheduling works the same way on all the checkboxes you create in notes, task description, a page, an event, etc.

With Routine, you can block time to complete a task on a specific day and time.
Use the Console's natural language capabilities to specify a date, time, and duration through the

❌ Cancel Scheduling
Any task scheduling can be canceled either by clicking the cross x

Once unscheduled, the task will disappear from the day it was previously scheduled for and put back in the inbox.
