Overview
This guide explains how the earliest start date in Morgen works and why it matters. You’ll learn how to control when tasks become actionable, reduce planner noise, and guide the AI Planner to schedule work at the right time, especially for recurring tasks and long-term responsibilities.
What is the earliest start date in Morgen?
The earliest start date defines when a task becomes available to work on. It works alongside the due date to guide the planner.
Why Use Earliest Start?
The earliest start helps you:
- Avoid working on tasks too early
- Reduce planner noise
- Focus on what’s actionable now
How Earliest Start Works
- The AI planner will only suggest tasks after the earliest start
- It will aim to schedule them before the due date
- For recurring tasks, the earliest start updates automatically each cycle
How to Set Earliest Start
- Open a task
- Set an earliest start date
- (Optional) Set a due date
- Save
Example Use Cases
- Prep work that shouldn’t start until a certain date
- Daily or weekly habits that reset after completion
- Preventing already-completed recurring tasks from being rescheduled too soon
Morgen Tips
