Calendar Overload? Sunsama Can Help

Design Your Ideal Daily Routine with Sunsama.

Is your calendar a source of stress or a roadmap to success? Learn how Sunsama can transform your daily routine into a focused, productive powerhouse.

Your calendar shouldn’t be a source of stress, but a sacred space dedicated to your focused goals. In an age where AI assists us in nearly every aspect of our lives, I prefer to use my calendar in a way that gives me clear direction, free from the chaos of endless to-dos and events. For a long time now, Sunsama has been my go-to tool for achieving this.

Sunsama offers a unique approach to daily planning with its intuitive guided planner. Its simple, user-friendly interface makes it a joy to use, and its integration with almost every productivity tool you can think of makes it a versatile choice. What truly sets it apart is the ‘weekly objective’ feature, which helps you stay laser-focused on your long-term goals.

Why a Structured Daily Routine Matters

With Sunsama, you gain:

• A Glance Through Your Day: Quickly see what’s ahead and stay prepared.
• Automated Daily Planning: Sunsama guides you through the process.
• Daily Shutdown Ritual: End your day intentionally and reflect on your accomplishments.
• Prioritization of High-Impact Tasks: Focus on what truly moves the needle.
• A Unified View: No distractions, no context-switching — just pure focus.

Setting Up Your Daily Routine in Sunsama

Here’s how to build your ideal daily routine within Sunsama:

1. Start with a Clean Slate: Begin each day by opening Sunsama and creating a new daily plan.
2. Customize Tasks & Priorities: Tailor your tasks to align with your weekly objectives. Define what’s most important to tackle.

With Sunsama, you can automate your daily planning in the Settings > Rituals. That’s what I do.

As an user, I prefer not to overload my day. I like to keep a few blocks of times a day (apart from any meetings) for my work sessions, be it admin work or a writing session.

Integrating Tasks and Calendars

Sunsama shines when it’s connected to your other tools:

• Seamless Syncing: Connect Sunsama with your preferred calendar apps (Google Calendar, Outlook, etc.) to see all your appointments in one place.

Personally, I love the combination of GCal (Personal) & Outlook (Official).

• Organize with Precision: Drag and drop tasks from your to-do lists (Todoist, Asana, etc.) or project management tools (Notion, Trello) directly into your daily plan. Organize them by priority and deadlines.

Earlier, I used integration of Todoist, Notion with Sunsama. But now, after experience of over organizing my calendar. I have started keeping my project space separately, inside Tana.

Utilizing Sunsama’s Powerful Features

• Time-Blocking: Allocate specific blocks of time for each task to ensure focused execution.
• Smart Reminders: Set reminders and notifications for critical tasks so you never miss a beat.
• Email Integration: Dedicate specific time slots to manage your inbox, preventing it from derailing your focus throughout the day.

Review and Adjust for Continuous Improvement

• End-of-Day Reflection: Take a few minutes at the end of each day to review your progress and note any areas for improvement.
• Iterate and Optimize: Don’t be afraid to tweak your routine as needed. Continuous adjustments will lead to increased productivity over time.
