Recurring tasks

 “Habits are safer than rules; you don’t have to watch them. And you don’t have to keep them either. They keep you.”
Frank Hall Crane

 

Have you ever thought about the importance of recurring tasks? Some things are best done regularly without skipping. If you are overdue on a bank payment, you probably get a notification (which is not great already). But in some other cases you being lazy or forgetful can lead to bad circumstances. When you put off paying your bills, you get a big debt and probably a fine. You skip your workouts often — you gain weight and your health suffers.

If you repeatedly complete the same task it will lead to forming a habit.

Repeatedly completing tasks means more and more experience with time. For example, you have a task to study Spanish for half an hour every day. It does not take too much time. But if you sum it all up you will see that in a year you would study Spanish for 182 hours. 22 days of interrupted 8-hour studies. Completing a task to analyze your income and spendings for 5 minutes every day would mean more financial intelligence, less impulsive unnecessary purchases, a better financial state in the long run.

Analyzing recurring tasks after some time will increase their input in your life.

When you create a task in improve My Life you can set a task's recurrence. There are a lot of time period options, from every day to annual, on weekdays to bimonthly.

Recurring tasks are also available in the web version. This way you won't need your phone for convenient time management, just opening a tab in a browser will be enough. You get 2 recurring tasks at the same time for free. The unlimited amount is available with a subscription.

When you make a recurring task a key task as well, completing it increases the value of its Life Wheel sector. For example, completing a recurring key task «Gym Workout» will increase the value of the Health segment.
