Planner
Open the main planning views in Fokus from a single navigation control.
Overview
Planner is the navigation hub for the main planning and review surfaces in Fokus. Instead of moving through one fixed screen, you can open the planning view that matches the decision you need to make right now: organize tasks, group work, schedule time, or review outcomes.
What Planner is for
Use Planner when you know you need to plan, but have not yet decided which planning surface is the best fit. It gives you one place to jump into the right view quickly.
How to Access It
- Open the bottom navigation bar in the main workspace.
- Select
Plannerto open the planning menu. - Choose the destination that matches the kind of planning you want to do.
What You Can Open From Here
Kanbanfor date-based task organization and direct task actions.Bucketsfor planning work by bucket or category.Calendarfor time-based scheduling and reviewing events and tasks together.Analyticsfor reviewing productivity metrics, trends, and AI-generated insights.
When to Use Each Option
Open Kanban to organize work
Use Kanban when you want to review task cards by day, move tasks between dates, and work directly with task metadata such as priority, energy, and estimates.
Open Buckets to review grouped work
Use Buckets when you want to think in terms of projects, categories, or other bucket-based organization instead of a single flat task stream.
Open Calendar to place work in time
Use Calendar when you need to schedule tasks into time blocks, review event conflicts, or compare your planned day across several dates.
Open Analytics to review outcomes
Use Analytics when you want to understand completion trends, time patterns, category balance, and other performance signals after planning and execution.
Why Planner Matters
Planner reduces navigation friction between the views that support active planning. Instead of treating Kanban, Calendar, and Analytics as unrelated destinations, it presents them as different angles on the same planning workflow.
This is especially useful when you move through planning in stages:
- start in Kanban to review tasks
- switch to Calendar to place work into time
- finish in Analytics to review the quality of your planning over time
