Routines

Routines are the most complex functionality in Clepside, but can also be the most rewarding one.

Once setup, routines will appear as suggestions for your upcoming sessions.

In Clepside you can create routines that have both flexible durations and flexible starting times for any of your activities.

Through the priority of a routine, you can plan a high percentage of your day on auto-pilot, allowing the algorithm to suggest sessions based on the priorities and conditions you choose. see below

By going further and associating cards with routines, you can create repeatable workflows. see below

Creating Repeatable Workflows

Any cards added to a routine are copied into the sessions that result from the routine.

This enables you to create blueprints using cards for any of your repeated workflows.

To give this a try create your routine, add cards to it and notice how the cards will be added to the sessions you’ll create from the routine every time you do so.

In the future you’ll be able to see exactly how many tasks you’ve performed from your routines, and when you’ve failed to do so, as described in the analytics sections below.

Routine Analytics

See when you’ve missed your routines and when you’ve completed them.

Will be made available in the future.

Routine Cards Analytics
