Use the Quick Add bar at the bottom to type in 3–5 tasks to get started.

Tap the ➕ next to a section to add tasks directly there.
Add more sections if you want to organise things like:
- Must dos
- Nice to haves
- Urgent / Later

Tasks are fully customisable too.

🛠️ You can:

Add subtasks (manually or hit Generate with AI for ideas)
Attach files, set deadlines, and durations

2. Prioritise your tasks

Drag and drop tasks between sections to sort the essentials from the fluff.

Hold down to move items around
Rename sections by tapping their titles
We recommend locking in your top 3 priorities — anything more is a bonus

⏳ Pro tip: You can customise timeblock length and time format from the main menu.

Once your first task hits the current time, it lights up blue — that’s your cue:

🚨 This is the ONLY thing you should be doing right now. Everything else can wait.

Now tap the App Blocker icon to shut out distractions.

🧘‍♂️ Choose a focus sound if that helps you concentrate. (Just tap the 🔊 icon)

If you finish early, Yoodoo will ask if you want to start the next task — your call.

⚠️ Stick to your start and end times! That’s the secret to timeblocking.
Unfinished tasks? No worries — they’ll stay right where you left them.

5. Reschedule & repeat

At the end of your day (or whenever you're ready), Yoodoo will prompt you to reschedule any missed tasks.

Tap the status bar to trigger it manually

By default, incomplete tasks roll over to the same time tomorrow
Uncheck any you want to ignore

Tap Continue, and boom — your next day is already taking shape.

💡 Final Notes

You can keep going and add more tasks, or call it a day.
Tomorrow, just repeat the process.
Your incomplete tasks will still be on the list, so nothing gets lost.

Timeboxing is about working with your brain — not against it.
Start small. Stay consistent. Your future self will thank you.
