r/superProductivity

When I randomly feel really energetic in the late morning, I usually go for a bike ride for about an hour if it’s not too cold. After that, I end up doing random productive stuff I normally put off for a long time like cleaning my room, organizing things, making videos, trying new things on my computer, or even writing down what worked well that day.

It doesn’t last that long, but it feels really satisfying to have the opportunity to actually end up doing those things I normally treat as a chore.

P.S. I’m curious what other people do when they get those kinds of energy bursts.

This is my idea of a solo morning stand up meeting session. It's tailored for me and my quirks.

It's an attempt to combine the things I found helpful from daily stand up meetings at work, handwritten daily planners, and daily prompt apps, but to also reduce as much friction and make it as easy to use as possible.

Features:

- Daily streak for completion and streak exclusion days

- Experience points and levels (each question has an XP)

- Energy levels and moods

- Wins from yesterday and what still needs to be done today

- Today's top 3 tasks and estimated times (via a drop down menu of projects/tasks) (click reload button if projects/tasks do not show up)

- Break tasks down into subtasks then create them as new tasks within the project folder (not linked/parent-child subtasks).

- Option to add tasks into the the 'Today' folder

- 5 minute timer (this is meant to help get the ball rolling, not replace the in-app timers)

- An attempt to use CBT to break the cycle of avoidance, procrastination, anxiety, perfectionism, overwhelm using conditional question logic and additional prompts

- Pre-thinking about lunch, lunch time, and clock out time

- Save feature that resets daily at midnight (content can be edited and saved)

- Automatic content sync to Google Sheets (and content updates will update the sync file)

- Intended to fit all prompts into the height of my laptop screen

- Reset form, experience, levels

- Questions marked with asterisk are required for completion or drop down 1 level

- Rotation of dynamic prompts (the responses are identical, but the prompts rotate to maintain novelty)

- Morning Stand-up plugin shows up on the left panel

I'd be interested in hearing any feedback just out of curiosity.

Another huge month. 32 community contributors shipped 167 PRs in June – calendar and CalDAV improvements, deep sync and op-log cleanups, focus-mode and idle UX overhauls, a privacy/logging-hardening sweep, new issue-provider and plugin capabilities, and a long tail of bug fixes and translations. A massive thank you to everyone who pitched in.

Outstanding Contributions

@hajiboy95 had a phenomenal month with 24 PRs focused on calendar and UI polish: a recurring-task and general calendar redesign (#8017, #8227, #8246, #8258, #8390), a keyboard shortcut to set task deadlines (#8042) and optional scheduling shortcuts (#8189), global search that includes note content and folders (#8044), multi-select project selection on boards (#8069), parent-folder context in the menu tree (#7988), a macOS global-shortcut layout fix (#8381) plus correct handling of Meta/OS modifier keys during shortcut recording (#8376), a visible focus ring for subtasks (#8522), task-detail filled-form-field styling (#8292), and German translation updates (#8234). Thank you @hajiboy95!

@symonbaikov contributed 13 PRs across sync and integrations: caching the latest full-state op lookup for performance (#8427), a batch of sync/op-log cleanups and fixes (#8498, #8499, #8596, #8597), Vikunja project discovery for CalDAV (#8481), tree-ordered project/tag dropdowns (#8100), clipboard paste attachments (#7166), a task-widget global shortcut (#7099), preserving sections during legacy migration (#8503), and docs for Proton Drive via rclone/WebDAV and sync rate-limit layers (#8064, #8497). Thank you @symonbaikov!

@forge34 delivered 10 PRs of sync-core housekeeping – retiring dead ports, compat re-exports, and unused endpoints, and relocating the op-log compaction module (#8396, #8408, #8441, #8454, #8491, #8496, #8526, #8601) – plus markdown keyboard shortcuts and follow-ups (#8039, #8289).

Thank you @costajohnt!

@starter727 contributed 3 PRs hardening the sync/op-log persistence layer: locking snapshot saves to close a lost-update window (#8439), reducing duplication across the persistence paths (#8406), and removing unused error classes, a dialog, and constructor-time logging (#8510). Thank you @starter727!

@cocojojo5213 was extraordinarily prolific with 80 PRs, most notably a privacy/logging-hygiene sweep that keeps user content out of the exportable log across ~15 areas (#8118–#8140). Alongside it came a steady stream of smaller fixes and features – a completed-task search filter (#8168), overlapping same-time tasks in the schedule (#8170), Jira priority + paginated auto-import (#8180, #8161), a configurable GitHub API base URL (#8183), and more. Thank you @cocojojo5213!

Thank you to every single contributor – the prolific and the one-PR first-timers alike. See you next month! 🚀

Hello,

It happened often for me that I completed a task then update super productivity 2 or 3 days later.

I would like to be able to say I did the task 2 days ago and not today.

Is it possible to do that? If not, do you plan to implement this feature?

Best regards !

I'm new to SuperProductivity and even though I have reviewed the documentation, I cannot figure out how to use Folders. I can use Projects and Tags without a problem but I'd really appreciate if someone can help me telling me how to use Folders. TIA.

Yesterday night I open an old phone, wanted to add a task to sp, it warned me about synchronization as always, but this time, it overwrite with the actual information with the task in the phone that were very old, I don't know why synchronization toke that phone data as current, then I open superproductivity here in my main computer, and everything has gone, I had old task and projects and nothing relevant.

Is there any chance that synchronization system won't look at the year to decide what data is fresher?

I strongly recommend to setup automatic backups!!
It is very easy to setup and restore in case of sync problem!!
