Tips / Suggestions - Toggl Focus Timetracking

This is not something that you have to do, but those are things that might be useful:

  • Removing Google Calendar events that I know I won’t attend
  • Using Calendar view directly: Skip Tasks view, and start adding tasks directly in the Calendar view, sometimes by adding a time block first and then creating my task
  • Adding projects to tasks will help you color-code your calendar if you assign different colours to projects
  • In Tasks page, type A to start adding a task
    • then simply use enter to create the task in-line
    • to open the modal, use tab
    • use command + enter to create a task, wherever the cursor is
  • If you want to create a time block for an existing task, you can drag it to the calendar or create the time block and start typing the name of the task; auto-complete should suggest all viable options based on what you have typed
  • Being ok with not being perfect!!
    • If you look at my Monday in the screenshot above, it has holes and not many time blocks added - it happens! Don’t give up if you didn’t plan a day perfectly, or you had a two day slump of not planning - it is fine, just go after it again!
      It’s like trying to eat healthy - if you try to do it and then that one weekend comes, it’s all good, just go back at it on Monday and it’s all perfectly fine!
