The System
hejmonday is not another todo app. It's a weekly rhythm for planning, reflecting, and staying honest about what matters.
How to set up in 4 steps
- Write your long-term vision — Goals → Long-Term. Where do you want to be in 3 years?
- Set quarterly goals — Goals → This Quarter. Pick 2–3 things that would make this quarter a win.
- Plan your first week — Tasks → This Week. Write down what matters most right now.
- Park everything else — Tasks → Someday. Ideas and things you don't want to lose.
That's the whole system. Every week, you plan. Every week, you reflect. Nothing carries over automatically — you decide what moves forward.

Why this works differently
Most tools give you an inbox that grows, notifications that nag, and a backlog that haunts you. hejmonday does the opposite: one page per week, one page per quarter. No reminders, no overdue badges, no guilt.
The principle: think in weeks, not days. Reflect honestly. Decide what moves forward and what gets dropped. That's where clarity comes from.
1. Start with where you're going
Go to Goals → Long-Term. Write where you want to be in 3 years — not a plan, a compass. It doesn't need to be perfect. Revisit it each quarter and update it freely.
2. Think in quarters
Go to Goals → This Quarter. Set 2–3 goals — specific enough that you'll know when you've hit them. "Launch MVP and get 10 beta users" beats "work on product."
Each week, ask: do my tasks connect to my quarterly goals? At quarter end, your page moves to Last Quarter. Look back honestly. What worked? What do you carry forward?
3. Plan your week
Go to Tasks → This Week. Write two or three things that matter most. That's your weekly page.
A rhythm that works:
Look back at what got done and what didn't. Open Next Week and set your focus. Two or three things is enough.
Check things off, add notes, don't overthink it.
4. Park everything else in Someday
Tasks → Someday is for things you don't want to forget but aren't ready to act on. Bucket list items, books, ideas, projects. A parking lot. When the time is right, pull something into your week.
Writing in hejmonday
hejmonday uses markdown. You don't need to learn much:
Templates
Every new week and quarter opens with a template — headings, prompts, a starting point so you're never facing a blank page. Start typing and it becomes yours. Navigate away without changes and it disappears, nothing saved.
Customize yours in Settings. Keep it short — two or three headings with a prompt each. Enough to start, not so much it feels like a form.
Coaching emails
hejmonday can send short, personal reflections based on what you've actually been working on — not generic advice.
Three cadences: weekly (what finished, what fell off), quarterly (are your weeks moving toward your goals?), yearly (where are you heading long-term?).
Pick a coaching style in Settings:
- Friendly — warm and encouraging
- Executive — direct and sharp
- Best friend — real talk with humor
- Custom — write your own prompt
Add a Manual to Me in Settings to describe your context and what kind of feedback helps you most. Turn any or all emails off at any time.
Install
hejmonday works as an app on your phone and desktop — no app store needed. Just add it to your home screen and it opens full-screen, like a native app.
