hello folks and welcome back to the keep productive youtube channel today's video
i'm doing a short review on an application called week this is an application that is
aiming to make task management more of a focus on planning so it utilizes your tasks and your
calendar together i actually first saw it on product hunt and its current availability is
only on web however they're probably looking to expand that out as you can imagine so this is what
the application looks like inside as i said it's only available on web and they have a free plan
as well as a paid plan too so if you're interested about the paid plan as you can see here the free
plan includes up to three calendars and only on one account but you can see here that they
have a paid plan which is coming soon so as you can imagine it's still being worked on
but it will be priced at four euros per month with unlimited calendar and multiple accounts
week's goal is really to help you to create your tasks around your projects and then be able to
coordinate them in using time blocking inside of your calendar so i actually first started this up
on safari but i found it a bug that allowed me not able to add a task on the safari version so as you
can imagine it's still very early days so very simply on my left here i've got the tasks that
are in my backlog and also got my calendar for the week so what it can do is go up to top right hand
corner and hit add a task now you can actually add it to your inbox which is the only space
i've currently got available so for example let's say recording time you can actually choose to see
it in my day so i'm actually going to click that option and press add so as you can see here this
is a task in my folder which is currently in box and have no other folders but i'll dive into that
in a moment so if i want to i can drag stuff into my calendar as you can see and i can even
choose a specific time slot i actually just tried to demonstrate that and what happened
is it disappeared so i think there's a little bit of bug there too now up here you can see
that i've used 30 minutes of the day so far and as you can see it already already pre-populates
the calendar week ahead for example three hours here and as you can see on sunday it looks like
i've got a lot of formula one to be watching with six hours plus so over on this side this is the
main area where you see all of your tasks that have been created for the backlog but if i go to
this sort of clipboard icon the calendar becomes much smaller and i could begin to organize my day
so i can see my day here but i can also go ahead and create some new projects so let's
create one now so i can go ahead and add tasks per project so for example let's add a few here
so if what i could do is if i'm planning my projects i could actually drag this one directly
into my calendar view and you can see here that that's now been assigned to the design um design
logo has been assigned into this area and it still remains inside of this project with the allocated
date i can also change the color of this so it appears differently in my calendar and i can even
go over to the calendar and move it back to the backlog if i wish this means that it would be not
associated to a day i can also go and edit this to and change the project it's related to so for
example if i did decide i was going to add this recording right here and i went in and was like
okay i do need to make a change i can right click and move over to another project i can also choose
to repeat it so in the my day view you can see here that i've now got a bit of a better structure
looks like i didn't press update let me go here update there we go so you can see in my day view
now i've got two tasks with two projects and if i go back to this calendar view you can now see
that a bit more suitably now anything that i've added this unassigned project can now be dragged
into another area of the experience and i can even scroll ahead to the next week or change the actual
week view to say a three day view or even a one day view you can also change your calendars up
here that are connected to on the free plan you can only change up to three and as you can see
here you can see a bit of a progress management of how much time you spent on a certain piece of work
now up in this right hand corner you can change stuff from light to dark if you want to when your
week starts and also some feedback and road map that you can do here now very simply this is the
current experience it's really basic at the moment i like to check these sort of applications out
because they're a growing market with the likes of sunsama routine and focused as some applications
that are doing really well in the space as a way to plan your day ahead now one thing i really
like about statification is you can view the my day view you can coordinate your projects and i
really like the dragging ability onto this it's very basic when it comes to that and i also like
the ability to see this more calendar orientated day ahead and even to be able to coordinate the
week fully ahead i also like the fact you've got the viewing of the hours and at the moment it's
free so that's a huge bonus but i think this application is still too early to be able to
comment on properly it doesn't have a pricing plan and also it's buggy in aries for example
my experience with the safari version and some of this experience has been a little bit clunky but i
can imagine this is just growing pains with this application it's simple it's basic but it allows
you to do something quite interesting in being able to plan your day so folks hopefully this was
a nice overview of week it's not really grasped my attention in a big way but at the moment
it will be on my radar for future applications especially with the planner market growing rapidly
