Getting started

1. Put your tasks in

Add whatever you’re currently trying to remember. Give a task a due date only if it has one; the rest go under Anytime. Check things off from Today or Tasks as you go.

When a task is hard to start, tap its timer button and work until the timer ends. You don’t have to finish the task, just begin it.

2. Add one routine

Pick the steps you already do most mornings or evenings, three or four of them, and make them a routine. It appears on Today each day with a progress ring.

3. Record one number, answer one question

Once the routine is familiar, add a metric that tells you something about how you’re doing, such as hours slept, and one reflection question, such as “What went well today?”. The week strip on Today and your journal fill in from these.

4. Set a goal

When there’s something you want to change, measure it with what your routine already records: average sleep, how often you stretched, how many evenings you wrote. Glide shows whether your current pace gets you there.
