Schedule an activity
Updated May 20261 min read
An activity is a planned slice of time spent on a key result or an adhoc focus block. The Timeline screen shows the week's activities side-by-side; this article covers the three ways to add one.
From the QuickPlus dial
- Tap the + at the centre of the bottom navigation.
- Pick Activity. The activity editor opens with today's date and a
one-hour suggested slot.
QuickPlus dial with Activity highlighted - Set the title, link a key result, and pick a time range. Save to
place the activity on the timeline.

From the objective editor
While editing an objective, scroll to the Activities section and tap Add activity. The new activity is staged with the parent objective selected.
Tips
- Adhoc activities (not linked to a key result) are valid — use them for meetings, study, or breaks you want to time.
- A scheduled activity becomes a notification reminder if you've enabled Scheduled Activity Notification in Settings. See Schedule activity reminders.
