Put your tasks on a timeline, not a list
Hemera turns unscheduled tasks into time blocks with a start and an end: drag one onto today’s timeline and it’s planned. The screens are built around planning principles backed by research.

Time blocking and implementation intentions
Deciding exactly when and where you will act makes you more likely to follow through. A meta-analysis of 94 studies reported a medium-to-large effect (d ≈ 0.65).
Gollwitzer (1999); Gollwitzer & Sheeran (2006)
Hemera: placing a task on the timeline gives it a start and an end.
Correcting the planning fallacy
People underestimate how long a task will take even when they know similar tasks ran over before. Laying a plan out as visible time makes it easier to judge what really fits in a day.
Buehler, Griffin & Ross (1994)
Hemera: day, week and month views show how much room your blocks actually take.
Easing the weight of unfinished goals
Making a specific plan for an unfinished goal reduces how much it keeps intruding on your thoughts.
Masicampo & Baumeister (2011)
Hemera: move tasks from the category backlog onto the timetable to make the plan.
A weekly look back
In experiments, people who spent time reflecting on their experience performed better afterwards.
Di Stefano, Gino, Pisano & Staats (2014)
Hemera: the weekly view lays the week out on one screen, plan and past events together.
These studies concern general principles. They are not tests of the Hemera app itself.
