Step-by-step guide

Describe the planner to Appaca
Tell Appaca: "Build a daily planner with a daily entry (date, top 3 priorities, task list with status, energy level, evening reflection), a habit tracker (daily checkboxes), and a weekly summary view."

Set up your habit list
Add the habits you want to track daily: exercise, reading, meditation, water intake. The planner will show checkboxes for each one on every daily entry.

Start planning tomorrow tonight
Before bed, create tomorrow's entry and set your top 3 priorities. Research shows that planning the night before reduces decision fatigue in the morning.
- 5
Review your day in the evening
At the end of the day, mark tasks complete and add a brief reflection note. This review habit reinforces learning and helps you plan the next day better.
- 6
Review the weekly summary on Sundays
The weekly view shows your task completion rate, habit streak, and energy levels over the week. Use this to spot patterns and adjust your planning for the next week.
