Getting started
The 6 setup steps after you sign up, and how to run them again.
Create your account at app.tidystation.com/sign-up. Setup opens straight after. Every step has Back and Skip setup.
The 6 steps
- Your first project. A name and a mark: a color, an icon you upload, or a website's icon.
- Categories. "What categories do you work in?" Marketing, Sales and Admin come ticked, and Building is offered. Add your own, or choose Not now. The report uses categories to show where your week went.
- Hours. How many focused hours you can work each weekday, in 30-minute steps up to 16h. Keep every day the same or set each day separately. It starts at 4h, Monday to Friday. Every day, week and milestone is measured against this number.
- A milestone, if you want one. A goal and the date you want to reach it.
- Your first task.
- When you'll do it. The day, the time, how long it takes and its category. Then Open Plan.
Finish and you land on Plan. Skip and you land on Today.
Run setup again
