Daily Command — Guided PlanningWorkflow inside Today, not a permanent tabV2 · Owner Review
Daily Command · Today · Planning Workflow
Build the day one decision at a time.
The planning engine can be complex. The workflow should not be. Each step reveals only the information needed for the decision in front of you.
Structural ruling tested by this prototypePlan is not a permanent Daily Command page. This workflow launches from Today when you start the day or choose Re-plan From Now.

When are you actually starting?
No assumed workday. Build from reality.

Soft end
Target stopping time: 6:30 PM
Buffer
Keep at least 45 minutes unallocated for transitions and reality.
These parts of the day are already spoken for.
Fixed commitments are shown door-to-door, not as appointment rectangles.

Make room for something important before it becomes urgent.
The Eisenhower Matrix is working behind the workflow. You do not maintain four backlogs.
Important + Urgent
Must Protect
Already handled in the prior step: IRS matter and hard commitments.
Important + Not Urgent
Make Room
Choose at most one meaningful thing to move forward if capacity allows.
Urgent + Less Important
Contain
Batch, shorten, delegate, or place into a response window.
Not Important + Not Urgent
Not Today
Keep out of planning entirely.
Household Ledger development
Meaningful, not urgent, often displaced.
Estate document review
Important long-term housekeeping.
None today
Some days genuinely have no discretionary capacity.
Contain the things that are loud but should not own the day.
Urgency does not automatically equal importance.
Routine lead callbacks
Batch into one 30-minute response window.
Vendor callback
Can wait until the same response window.
Today does not all fit.
Make the tradeoff now instead of carrying an impossible plan into Today.
Current overload: about 1h 30m. Recommended: carry part of the dialing target forward and leave the document review out of today's plan.
Carry 1h of insurance dialing forward
Do 3h today instead of pretending 4h fits.
Move estate document review
Important, but it does not become urgent today.
Extend the day
Work later only if you intentionally choose that tradeoff.
Here is the day you are agreeing to.

Plan V2 · August 2026. This artifact represents a guided workflow inside Today, not a permanent Daily Command destination. Eisenhower logic is used as a selection engine, not as four visible backlogs.
