A Day in the Life with Sunsama
Let's dive into a typical day using Sunsama:
Planning My Day: I start by adding tasks and assigning realistic time estimates based on past data. Sunsama provides a clear visual overview of my day, showing how much time I've allocated and what's left.
Staying Flexible: Life happens! Sunsama makes it easy to adjust on the fly. If a meeting runs long or I need to squeeze in a quick random task, I can easily rearrange tasks with simple drag-and-drop functionality.
Capacity Management = Burnout Prevention: Sunsama helps me stay within my limits. A colour-coded system warns me when I'm approaching my capacity, and the platform encourages realistic planning instead of endless to-do stacking.
Learning and Improving: At the end of each day, Sunsama's shutdown ritual prompts me to review my progress. By comparing planned vs. actual times, I gain valuable insights that inform my future planning.
Focus Modes for Mental Clarity: My Focus Modes let me align my energy with my tasks. And adding Focus Modes to Sunsama is effortless. The Shutdown session also shows me how much time I spent in each mode.
