Ways to Plan
We know that every student and every situation is different, and we never wanted to hear the excuse that planning was too hard to do. So, we built four different ways to time block your tasks inside Shovel. You can plan from the sidebar by dragging your tasks into the calendar. You can also plan from the top of the calendar by clicking to see what tasks are due that day and dragging them from up there. Shovel also shows the deadline for each task in your calendar. When you click on the deadline flag, you can plan the task right from there. And last but not least, you can even click on the plan button in an empty study block.
Select the tasks you want to work on during that study block, adjust how long you want to work on each task during that time, and click 'Plan with Shovel.' You have as much freedom as you need and no excuses not to plan.
