A place to pick up again.
A short guide to catching a thought, keeping a next move, and returning to the work.
Catch the thought
Press Command Shift Space from any app. Type a task, a #tag, an estimate such as ~1h, and a day such as today. Check the parsed chips before saving.
Make the work startable
Open a task and break it into steps. Give the current step one visible next move. Attach the file or link you need, so the work and the way back stay together.
Leave a foothold
Before switching away, press Control Option B and write where to pick up. A useful note says what to change next, rather than only what you finished.
Come back to your own note
Today keeps a Resume card with the task, step and note you left. Resume restarts the step’s clock and opens its attachment when there is one.
When the next move won’t come
Open Stuck on a step and choose what is in the way. Review the suggested moves. On supported Macs, optional Apple Intelligence can draft a next move or ask for missing project context.
