Defer Date

• A date you set to temporarily remove a task from view

• Useful for tasks that don't need to start now, but will need to happen later

Target Date

• Helps you plan ahead and set expectations

Rhythms

• Habit tracking without streak pressure

Review

• Helps you close the day mindfully

Carry-forward

• Happens when you don't close your previous day
• Keeps your workflow continuous without judgment
