Guides to Planning and Focusing on Your Work

A little help with what’s on your mind

When several things need your attention, you don’t have to work them all out at once. Start with the situation that feels familiar: finding a next step, making room in your day, or picking up something unfinished. Each guide offers a practical example you can try in Aiken.

When there’s a lot on your mind

Put a few things you need to do into words, check what matters now, and choose one action you can begin. The getting-started guide works with manually added tasks, without needing AI chat.

Turn notes into tasks

Start with what you've already written. Check the proposed tasks, fix any mistakes, then choose which ones need your attention today.

Choose today's priorities

Compare a few tasks and pick up to three for today. Then put the task you want to start in front of you and queue the others.

Plan around the time you have

Allow for meetings and breaks before filling your calendar. The planning guide shows how to ask for a schedule, revise it, and confirm it.

Pick up an overdue task

Check whether the deadline still matters and find a first action you can take. You can ask Aiken for a suggestion if the task is hard to start.
