Sunsama weekly productivity newsletter

The Meditations Newsletter A weekly Sunsama newsletter to help you work a little bit better. 🙋 Ask Ashutosh Drop your question here to get an answer in a future newsletter. 💬 Chris asks: I'm in the office three days a week and remote two days, but which days vary. My focus, energy, and workflow feel completely different depending on where I am. Should I be planning/approaching my days differently based on work location, or is that overcomplicating it? 🎙️ Ashutosh's response: I would lean into that. It depends on your personal preferences though. It could be that the remote days are your best for deep work because your colleagues don’t bother you or it could be that the office is the best for deep work because your kids aren’t running around making a ruckus in the house interrupting you every five minutes. How do your focus, energy, and workflow feel in each location? Try and match the type of work you to what works in each location. 💡 Pro-tip: creating, editing, and scheduling recurring tasks Recycling this previous pro-tip video as a refresher! One of the most powerful and reliable features in Sunsama for managing consistent workloads and plans, recurring tasks can give you peace of mind by building in time for routine work. This video touches on all things recurring tasks: how to create new ones, update existing ones, and how to see them in your schedule in a way that fits your workflow. ☕️ Snackables Digestible, quick-hitting blogs packed with tips to improve your workdays. The 8 Best To-Do List and Daily Planner Apps in 2026 Most to-do apps were built to store tasks, not to plan an actual work day. This roundup organizes eight popular tools into three camps (task managers, AI auto-schedulers, and daily planners) and asks one question of each: how well does it connect what you need to do with the time you actually have? 🗣️ Watercooler Highlights Insights and tips from the Sunsama Slack community • @Lukas shared that auto-plan works “way better than expected” and floated a smart idea: adding a feedback prompt at the review step so users can nudge the plan before committing. Thread here. • @Stuart revealed that auto-plan surfaced a forgotten follow-up comment he’d left on a colleague’s work-in-progress — a serendipitous catch he called “a very pleasant surprise” — thread here • @Kim opened a rich conversation about the hidden cost of context switching across many projects — running a research lab, she asked: how do you leave your future self a breadcrumb trail? — thread here • @Laura shared her system: Claude Projects + Claude Code folders per project + an Airtable long-term store, all connected to Sunsama — thread here Ways to get more out of Sunsama 👋 Join the Community Step into our private Slack space—your mindful-productivity club—to swap tips, find accountability partners, and catch live Flow Sessions.
