For productive people to be more productive…

Background info:

I love the space of ‘personal productivity’ and every app I ran into excites me, but I do not write about it so early. But Routine is not that case. This year my focus is on being a better planner and to do so, Calendar and planner apps inline with task management is my top priority and Routine is just that app.

Why this app?:

By now, you know that I love Cron and continuously exploring a better task and calendar integration and so in my last blog I also covered Tweek. By far the most suitable solution for me personally and Routine has all the potential to replace both the apps; Cron and Tweek.

Simply put, Routine looks to be the answer of my long-pending wish. Let’s see how the first experience.

Key features: 🔐

  • An excellent Planner
  • Quick capture with Ctrl + Space
  • Take meeting notes (A Detailed one) & (Meeting & Notes together, a clever idea)
  • NLP for capturing and planning your events and tasks
  • Integration with Notion, Gmail & Zapier
  • Pages for notes; from the tasks or projects you are working on
  • Journal

Use case and examples:

Personally, I love planners and have used yearly analog planners for years and from now on I rely completely on the digital world to know where I am heading to.

Routine is one of the app that seems the bridge the gap between planning and executing and this excites me the most.

I am exploring this app as an combination of planner, task manager and light note-taking.
