Scheduling Hours

Set up work hours, personal hours, and more so FlowSavvy schedules the right tasks at the right time

Updated over 2 months ago

What are scheduling hours?

The "scheduling hours" feature allows you to tell FlowSavvy which tasks can be scheduled when. For example, you might want FlowSavvy to only schedule tasks during the day, but not on the weekend.

A more complex example might be that you might want work tasks to only be scheduled 9am-5pm on weekdays, personal tasks only in the evenings and on weekends, and you have some tasks that can only be done in the morning but it doesn't matter which day.

The free plan has access to one scheduling profile. This is ideal for people that plan to use FlowSavvy for either just work or just personal life. Upgrade to Pro to get access to unlimited scheduling profiles.

How to change your scheduling hours

  1. In the FlowSavvy menu, click Settings > Scheduling Hours.

  2. Choose the scheduling profile you want to edit.

  3. Change the hours on each day to reflect when you want tasks to be scheduled.

  4. Use the plus button to add multiple time ranges to the same day, and use the copy button to copy hours to other days

  5. Don't forget to choose the scheduling profile you want each task to be scheduled in! You can choose the scheduling profile when creating or editing a task.

How to add a task to multiple scheduling hours profiles

While there isn't a way to select multiple scheduling hours, a workaround for this is to create scheduling hours that combine other hours. For example, if a task can be done in either personal hours or work hours, you can create another scheduling hours set called "Personal+Work" or "Anytime", include any applicable hours, and then select that scheduling hours set when creating a task.

How to block an entire day for all scheduling hours

You might find yourself wanting to block an entire day so no tasks in any scheduling hours profile are scheduled that day. For example, a weekend where you'll be out of town, or a day you'll be at a wedding the whole day.

Making an exception date on each scheduling hours profile might be a pain, and while there isn't a way to edit scheduling hours in bulk, if you want to completely block off a day for all scheduling hours, the easiest way to accomplish this is to create an all-day event and make sure "Busy" is turned on, like this:

This will create a busy, all-day event that blocks off the entire day so no tasks from any scheduling hours profile will be scheduled that day.
