Avelle Life · The Field Guide
Tips & Tricks
A small field guide for getting things out of your head and into motion.
Pick one idea that helps today. There is no setup checklist to finish.
Open a topic when you need it.
Start here
One thought is enough
Tap the center + to open Quick Capture. Write one thought and save it. It joins the same Brain Dump you can open from Today or Tools.
Less setup
Keep a routine tiny
Open Tools → Routines. Add a rhythm you already do, or one small thing you want help remembering. Choose when it fits.
Relevant routines appear on Today. A single-step routine takes one tap; a routine with steps opens its checklist.
Use Today
See what matters now
Today brings together current routines, little nudges, your schedule, and dinner. Open Little reminders for starred boundaries and seasonal home reminders.
Tap a nudge when you do it. Open Gentle check-ins in Tools if you want to see your notes. No target or streak to keep up.
Feeling stuck?
Start with five minutes
Open Focus. Tap the minutes button if you want a different duration, then Start. The duck keeps you company until you stop or the timer finishes.
Use Feeling stuck? → Make it smaller when you need a first step. “Open the document” is a useful start.
Keep it visible
A compass and a fence
Intentions are reminders of what matters. Boundaries are reminders of what you are protecting. In Tools → Intentions, star a boundary to keep it nearby on Today.
A second memory
Set the reminder now
In Brain Dump, open Remind me on a saved thought. Check its date before leaving. For calendar plans, open Tools → Calendar & dates.
Choose the support level that fits: gentle for a soft nudge, important for something time-sensitive, or extra support when a follow-up helps. Notifications need permission on your device.
Shared plans
Share only what needs sharing
Use Household for selected tasks, routines, dates, meals, and groceries. Each person keeps their own account. Make the owner clear when that reduces back-and-forth.
A soft landing
Let the day or week end
Close the Day offers three tiny wind-down steps. Any one is enough. Sunday Reset asks what worked, one thing for next week, and anything to let go of.
