Pages & Areas

Creating a Page means creating a perspective. Adding an Area means adding another timeline to it.

Creating a Page means creating a perspective. Adding an Area means adding another timeline to that perspective.

What is a Page?

A Page is a single perspective on your time.

  • Daily Journal, Weekly Review
  • Work Log, Project Alpha
  • Sleep, Exercise

In the coordinate model, a Page represents the z-axis.

A Page is not just a saved filter

A Page is not a filter that hides or shows certain events. A Page carries its own purpose, Area layout, visible Calendars, arrangement, and the perspective you chose.

A filter decides what to hide or show. A Page decides how time is structured and interpreted.

What is an Area?

An Area is a parallel timeline inside a Page.

Daily Journal          Health              Product Development
├── Plan               ├── Sleep           ├── Research
├── Act                ├── Exercise        ├── Build
└── Review             └── Recovery        └── Launch

Areas are independent timelines

Each Area can independently have:

  • Name, width, order
  • Connected Calendar
  • Visibility and property display settings

Even though every Area shares the same date and time range, each is treated as its own timeline.

Why all-day events repeat across Areas

Product note

An all-day event belongs to a date rather than a specific hour. Because each Area is an independent timeline, the event can appear at the top of every relevant Area.

Pages, Areas, Calendars, and Events

  • Page — perspective
  • Area — parallel timeline
  • Calendar — the source or group of event data
  • Event — a record on the timeline
  • Property — structured data added to an Event

Page design guidelines

  • A Page should answer one question.
  • Areas should be distinct time flows.
  • Don’t create too many Areas.
  • Use a Property for simple categories; use an Area when you need a parallel timeline.

Example

If Project A, B, C are just categories, a Project Property fits better than Areas. But when you need to compare axes side by side — like Plan, Act, Review — Areas are the right choice.
