We built Todayist to help busy people live with more purpose and be happier, and we want this tool to be available to anyone, regardless of ability to pay. 

Because of our commitment to doing good, the free version of Todayist offers fantastic functionality – you can focus on any one goal, customize your daily planning ritual, track your mood, create your own activities, and more.

A Premium account gives you access to all of the fun free stuff AND helps you go deeper. Specifically, with Todayist Premium you can:

• Prioritize multiple goals at once – this is where the app really starts adding value

• Add each day’s most important tasks – whatever it is, other than your goals, that you’ll feel great about if you get it done (buying laundry detergent, doing that one work thing, returning a phone call… anything goes)

• Go deep with habits and scheduling by gaining the ability to make activities recur on specific days of the week

In the early 1800s, a Prussian guy named Helmuth von Moltke said “No plan survives first contact with the enemy.” But this doesn’t mean we shouldn’t still make a plan. 🙂

Our approach to habits is based on the idea that life can be unexpected. We love habits – as long as they add positive value to our life. The minute they become another thing we use to feel bad about ourselves, they’re no longer productive. So we built a way to help you get the positive value from habits but cut out the negative stuff.

 To get started, just go to an activity (whether it’s one we suggested or your own custom addition), tap the 3 dots to the right of the activity, and choose when you want the activity to repeat. 

You can add daily habits, weekday habits, weekend habits… anything goes. 

Here’s where it gets fun. Say you add a daily habit of doing 30 minutes of yoga. But you slept poorly last night, your kid is sick, and your day is jam-packed. No worries! You’ll see that habit appear while you’re planning your day, and you can change it to something that will actually work – maybe 10 minutes of chair yoga during one of your calls, or a mini stretch break between meetings.

Todayist gives you the flexibility to make your habits fit your day so you can make sustainable progress toward your goals.

With the free version of Todayist you can focus on one goal. Premium users can focus on multiple goals at once – 3 goals is a great place to start.

You can change your goals at any time by going to the settings (gear icon) and tapping on “Update Goals”.

A lot of folks ask why we don’t have a counter showing when to inhale/exhale. The simple reason? We believe that, however your breath is flowing, your natural breath is perfect. Follow it, feel it, notice it… exactly as it is. You’re the expert on your breath, not us.

You get to decide whether you have time for a single breath, 3 breaths, or 10 minutes of stillness when you begin your planning ritual. Any amount is ok. It’s even fine if you don’t have any time to pause and breathe! Do whatever works for you.

Some tips for getting started:

• Plant your feet firmly on the ground and sit up straight, then relax

• Close your eyes and let your hands rest in your lap – put down anything you’re holding

• Give yourself permission to set aside whatever you were just thinking about for this short period of time

• Follow the sensations as you breathe in and out – notice where you feel the breath, in your nose, throat, chest, back, sides, abdomen

• Let yourself be present and still for the space of 3 breaths, or even longer if it fits your schedule
