A realistic day, not an optimistic one
Most to-do lists ignore your calendar and your energy, so a “plan” ends up bearing no relation to what you can actually get done. ka-do plans around both.
How it works in ka-do
On the day timeline, unplanned tasks sit next to your meetings. Drag a task onto a free slot to give it a specific time, or leave it unscheduled, or just assigned to a day — whichever fits.
Every task carries a duration and an energy level (easy, steady work, deep focus). If you place a task somewhere its energy doesn't match — deep focus work squeezed into a 10-minute gap between meetings — ka-do flags the mismatch so you can reconsider. It never moves the task for you.
If a day gets knocked off track, a day-repair panel lists what got displaced so you can decide what happens to each one — reschedule it, push it to tomorrow, drop it — one deliberate tap at a time.
What it doesn't do
- There's no automatic rescheduling engine that moves tasks for you — you place everything yourself.
- No algorithm silently ranks or reorders your tasks; ka-do only warns about energy mismatches.
- A disrupted day isn't re-planned automatically — the day-repair panel is a list of manual choices, not a fix applied for you.
