Welcome to Insumo
Getting Started
Welcome to Insumo, your go-to tool for managing tasks and optimizing productivity through effective time blocking.
Timeboxing
Time boxing is a productivity technique that involves allocating specific time blocks for different tasks or activities. With Insumo, you can effectively implement time boxing by utilizing its task management features. Insumo allows you to create tasks and conveniently drag and drop them onto your schedule. By doing so, you can visually allocate dedicated time slots for each task, ensuring that you have a structured and organized approach to managing your time.


We currently provide integration options with Google Calendar, Asana, and Todoist. To easily incorporate these tools, you can navigate to the Preferences section and access the Integrations settings.

Using Inbox/Someday/Completed
Insumo's Inbox feature offers a convenient way to manage your tasks based on the Completed and Someday principles. Here's how it works:
-
Your tasks can be categorized into three sections: Inbox, Completed, and Someday
-
When you create a task and have a specific timeframe in mind for when to work on it, it should be placed in your Inbox
-
If you successfully complete a task, you can move it to the Completed section to keep track of your accomplishments
-
On the other hand, if you have a task that you want to keep in mind but are unsure about the specific timeframe to work on it, you can place it in the Someday section
-
Navigating between these sections is simple. You can access the Inbox, Completed, and Someday sections from the left drawer on your screen, as shown in the image below
-
When you create a new task, it automatically appears in your Inbox. If you later decide that it should be categorized as a Someday task, you can easily update it from the task details, and it will move to the Someday section
-
Similarly, if you mark a task as complete, it will be automatically moved to the Completed section, allowing you to keep a record of your finished tasks
Insumo's Inbox feature provides a structured approach to managing your tasks, allowing you to organize them based on their status and prioritize your work effectively
