What Backlog Is For

Use Backlog to store:

• Tasks you don’t want to work on today
• Ideas, reminders, or responsibilities you want to revisit later
• Goals you’ve acknowledged but intentionally postponed

​

Actions You Can Take

​

Move a Task from Today → Backlog

If you realize you won’t be able to complete a task today:

1. Open the goal options in the Today list
2. Click Move to Backlog
3. The task is moved instantly—in one click

This helps you protect focus without losing the task.

​

Move a Task from Backlog → Today

When a backlog item becomes important or actionable:

1. Go to the Backlog tab
2. Open the task options
3. Click Move to Today
4. The task appears in today’s task list immediately

No re-creation needed.

​

Tags & Backlog

At the moment:

• Tags cannot be added to backlog items

This is a planned feature and will be available in a future update.

​

Deleting Backlog Items

Delete only when you’re sure the task is no longer needed.

​

Why Backlog Exists

• Keeps your Today list clean and realistic
• Helps you avoid decision fatigue
• Encourages intentional planning instead of guilt-driven task carryover
• Separates “not today” from “forgotten”
