# Weekly and Daily Planning

> How the weekly and daily planning flows work in Sonto

</Card>

Weekly and daily planning are the short, recurring routines that turn your longer-term plans into
action. Weekly planning pulls your quarterly [milestones](/reference/glossary#milestone) into the week
ahead; daily planning decides what you actually do today.

<Info>
  These flows work best once you've made a quarterly plan, so there's something to pull forward. See
  [Plan your Year and Quarter](/reference/planning/quarter-year).
</Info>

## Starting a planning session

There are three ways to begin:

* Press <kbd>Cmd</kbd> + <kbd>B</kbd> on the Day or Week screen.
* Use the **planning reminder** at the top of the screen when it appears.
* Open the Day or Week screen and start the flow from there.

## Weekly planning

Weekly planning takes about ten minutes. The flow walks you through:

1. **Review the past week** — see what you completed and what's still open.
2. **Pull milestones forward** — bring the quarterly milestones you want to move on into this week.
3. **Add what's urgent** — capture the time-sensitive items the week will demand.
4. **Time-block on the calendar** — drag the week's priorities onto your [calendar](/reference/calendar)
   to protect time for them before meetings fill it up.
5. **Leave some slack** — don't fill every hour; reserve room for the inevitable urgent task.
6. **Write a weekly reflection** — a free-form note on how the week is shaping up.

## Daily planning

Daily planning takes about three minutes, every morning. The flow walks you through:

1. **Review yesterday** — what got done, what's still open, and a moment to reflect.
2. **Choose today's tasks** — pull from this week's tasks, anything rolled over, and your
   important-flagged items.
3. **Schedule the day** — a final pass to lay today out in time, scheduling tasks onto the calendar
   where it helps.

<Tip>
  Keep the Day screen as your home base. When new tasks arrive that aren't on fire, resist adding them
  to today — drop them in your [inbox](/reference/screens) or onto the week instead.
</Tip>

## When you're reminded to plan

Sonto nudges you with a **planning reminder** when it's time to plan. You control when it appears in
Settings, so the nudge fits your own routine — many people plan their week on a Friday afternoon and
their day first thing each morning.

## Availability

<Warning>
  The guided, step-by-step planning flow is currently a **Mac** feature. On iPhone you can still view
  your day and week and schedule tasks, but the guided flow itself isn't available there yet.
