Getting Started

This guide will get you up and running with Time Stream quickly.

Five easy steps to set up your Time Stream workflow

1. Start with the Tasks list

Think of the Tasks list as your central hub. Here, you can create tasks for your medium- or long-term goals and set up recurring tasks to stay on top of ongoing work. This is where everything begins.

2. Set up statuses and tags

Statuses and Tags help you organize and track your tasks effectively. Choose statuses like “To do”, “In progress”, or “Done” to monitor progress. Use tags to categorize tasks by project, priority, or context.

3. Plan your day with the Today Screen

Use the Today screen to focus only on what matters today and set realistic expectations for what you can achieve. Choose one main priority for the day, and arrange secondary tasks in order of importance using the arrows.

You can also plan your day from the Tasks screen. To move a task from your Task List to your Today List, simply click the Today button.

4. Track your work with the timer

Start the Timer by hitting play next to the task in your Today view. If you’ve set a timer type (Pomodoro or Infinity) when creating your task, the correct timer will automatically be selected. You can also switch between timer types manually as needed.

5. Reflect and improve at the end of the day

If you used the Pomodoro technique, compare your estimated vs. actual Pomodoros for each task on the Today screen. This helps you improve future time estimates and plan more realistically.
