Follow these simple steps to master DailyChecks
Getting Started & Account Setup
Begin your journey with DailyChecks by creating your free account. Click the "Get Started" button on the homepage and sign up using your email address. No credit card is required, and the entire process takes less than a minute. Once you're logged in, you'll be greeted with a clean, intuitive dashboard ready for you to start tracking your daily tasks.
DailyChecks automatically syncs your data across all devices, so you can access your tasks from your phone, tablet, or computer. Your progress is securely stored in the cloud, ensuring you never lose track of your accomplishments.
Understanding Your Dashboard
Your DailyChecks dashboard is divided into three main sections. On the left, you'll find the date sidebar where you can navigate between different days. The center section displays your category cards with all your tasks for the selected date. The right panel shows your progress statistics and point totals.
The dashboard provides a comprehensive view of your daily productivity at a glance. You can see completed tasks, pending tasks, and your daily point score all in one place. The clean interface ensures you stay focused on what matters most: completing your tasks and achieving your goals.
Creating Your First Category
Categories help you organize tasks by type or priority. Click the "Add Category" button to create your first category. Give it a meaningful name like "Work," "Health," "Personal," or "Learning." Then, assign point values to tasks in this category based on their importance or difficulty.
For example, you might assign 5 points to work tasks, 3 points to personal tasks, and 2 points to quick daily habits. This point system helps you prioritize high-value activities and gamifies your productivity. Each category automatically gets a unique color to help you visually distinguish between different areas of your life.
Adding & Managing Tasks
Now it's time to add your first task! Within any category card, click the "Add Task" button or press the plus icon. Enter a clear, actionable task name like "Complete project proposal" or "30-minute workout." Tasks automatically inherit the point value from their parent category.
You can add unlimited tasks to each category. To manage your tasks, hover over any task to reveal edit and delete options. Tasks are automatically associated with the date you've selected, making it easy to plan your day, week, or month ahead. The intuitive interface ensures adding tasks is quick and effortless.
Completing Tasks & Earning Points
When you complete a task, simply click the checkbox next to it. The task will be marked as complete, and you'll immediately earn the points associated with that task. Watch your daily score increase in real-time on the progress panel! Completed tasks are visually distinguished with a strikethrough effect.
The point system creates a gamified experience that makes productivity fun and rewarding. You can uncheck tasks if needed, and your points will adjust accordingly. This flexible system lets you accurately track your daily accomplishments and build momentum over time. The more consistent you are, the more satisfying it becomes to see your points accumulate.
Using Calendar & Date Navigation
DailyChecks makes it effortless to navigate between different dates. Use the date sidebar on desktop or the quick date selector on mobile to jump to any day. You can view past days to review your accomplishments or plan future days by selecting upcoming dates.
The calendar view shows which days have tasks, helping you maintain a consistent tracking habit. Days with completed tasks display your score, giving you a quick overview of your productivity trends. This feature is perfect for planning your week ahead or reflecting on your progress over time.
Tracking Your Progress & Analytics
The progress panel on the right side of your dashboard provides detailed analytics about your productivity. You can view your total lifetime points, daily scores, completion rates, and category breakdowns. These insights help you understand your productivity patterns and identify areas for improvement.
Watch your statistics grow over time as you consistently complete tasks. The visual progress indicators make it easy to see how much you've accomplished each day. Use this data to set realistic goals, celebrate your wins, and maintain motivation on your productivity journey.
Tips for Maximum Productivity
Start your day by reviewing and planning your tasks. Break large projects into smaller, manageable tasks to avoid overwhelm. Use higher point values for your most important tasks to ensure you prioritize them. Check DailyChecks multiple times throughout the day to stay on track.
Build consistency by using DailyChecks every day, even if you only have a few tasks. Celebrate small wins and don't be too hard on yourself on slower days. Remember, progress is progress, no matter how small. With regular use, you'll develop powerful productive habits that stick.
