• Behavior: Consectetur adipiscing elit
• Example: Sed do eiusmod tempor

Due Date

Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.

The Four Groups

Past

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

• Tasks scheduled before today
• Not yet completed
• Visible for review and action

Now

Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.

• Tasks scheduled for today
• Active and ready for work
• Primary focus area

Upcoming

Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.

• Tasks scheduled for future dates
• Visible for planning
• Can be rescheduled

Wrapped

Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

• Completed today
• Satisfying visibility
• Clears from Now after completion

Why This Reduces Cognitive Load

Traditional List Problems

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit:

1. Everything visible at once
2. No temporal context
3. Constant re-sorting required

Daylight’s Approach

Sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua:

1. Temporal grouping reduces scanning
2. Past shows what needs attention
3. Now is the focus
4. Wrapped provides closure
