What each one is for. Rename, reorder or add columns whenever the work needs it.
- To Do
- Set, not started. Keep the soonest due at the top.
- In Progress
- Started. Keep this to 2 or 3 at once, so each one gets finished.
- Ready to Submit
- Done, waiting on a final read, a reference check or the upload.
- Submittedcounts as done
- Handed in. Counts as done, and stays searchable for revision.
How to track assignments with it
-
Step 1
Add every assignment when it's set
One card per assignment, with the due date and a tag for the subject, like History or Chemistry. Filter the board by tag to see one subject.
-
Step 2
Break big ones into steps
Add a checklist: research, outline, draft, references, proofread. The card shows how much is left, and the first step is never as daunting as the whole essay.
-
Step 3
Mark exams and hand-in weeks
Add milestones for exams and term deadlines. They sit beside the board with today marked, so crunch weeks don't sneak up.
-
Step 4
Check Focus each morning
Focus lists what's overdue, due today and due this week across every board, so nothing slips past its deadline.
With your AI agents
An agent can turn a course outline into cards with due dates, break an essay into steps, or tell you what's due this week.
Agents connect over MCP or the REST API, on every plan, and act as you.

Keep it working
- Set the due date a day before the real deadline, so there's room for the upload going wrong.
- Use priority for the assignments worth the most marks.
- Keep In Progress small. 2 assignments started beats 6 half-done.
