Description of Bento

Introducing Bento. The Do Less To-Do List Bento helps you do less, but more meaningful tasks. We all have plenty of to-dos on our list and our mission is to reduce task overwhelm to maximize achievement. Bento doesn't replace your to-do list, it complements it! One of the biggest productivity issues is prioritization - so we've limited you to 3 tasks per Bento box. --- So, how does Bento work? TASK LIMITS Bento limits you to 3 tasks per box - to help you do less, but more meaningful to-dos. We limit how many boxes you can open to 7 boxes in total, to help you plan only what is most important. Our mission is to reduce task overwhelm to maximize achievement. SMALL, MEDIUM & LARGE TASKS Much like a box for sushi, Bento allows you to create small, medium, and large tasks helping you to organize your tasks in sizeable chunks for better completion. The best productivity experts recommend reducing your workload for better per-task performance. 3 ENERGY-BASED WORKFLOWS Once you have your 3 priority tasks. We've created 3 workflows, Eat That Frog, Climb The Summit, and the Slow Burn to help you best order your day for success and energy. SINGLE-TASK FOCUS MODE To truly focus, we need fewer distractions. Blocking out attention to focus on just your key task can make a huge difference. Inside Bento, we have a single-task focus mode combined with a countdown timer for deep focus work states. DARK & LIGHT MODE Each box can be customized with an emoji alongside stunningly animated themes. Each theme has a light mode and dark mode, for optimal productivity. 6 BEAUTIFULLY ANIMATED THEMES Relaxing Japanese-themed backgrounds for a soothing way to handle your most meaningful tasks. --- Bento can be used in a variety of ways, here are a few recommendations: - Create a daily Bento to plan your 3 priority tasks - Plan the full week by adding up to 7 Bento boxes - Build a week, month, and yearly goals list for planning ahead The Bento app is the best and most effective place to implement the Bento Methodology, a new mindful way to approach task management. Bento is now optimised for iPad as part of a single universal app for all your iOS devices. --- QUESTIONS Reach out on Twitter @BentoMethod or email bento@keepproductive.com for any help.

  • No more ToDo List

    This todo list is much more manageable then the majority. The main feature is that it break down the task into bite sized pieces. It provides templates or you can create your own schedule box. The templates are a little lack luster BUT I do like the different genres. Scheduling healthy habits, going to bed early and self care. If you're one for all the bells and whistles this is not for you. If you like simple straightforward and getting task done this is your app. No more breaking your back serving everyone else's needs. It's mommy time!! Plus you can even blame it on the app. it's scheduled for TLC time and this is your year of being proactive!!

  • Beautiful app, major flaw

    I love this app and the methodology. The graphics are great, the idea is awesome and I thoroughly enjoy it. The problem is that it runs in the background constantly for absolutely no reason, so it’s using way more battery than it should be, and there’s no option to toggle background app refresh or any other settings because notifications on or off. I want to keep it and use it but I want my phone to have a normal amount of battery, as of now I haven’t decided but I’ll probably have to delete it unless an update is pushed through that fixes this issue.

  • Calming, retraining for realistic expectations

    I just am getting started with it. We are able to have up to 7 boxes, which is nice. I would like to be able to save “discarded” boxes because they are workflows I repeat weekly or monthly. It would be nice to retrieve a small set of related boxes, like my own templates, to save remaking them as I need to shuffle for space for other things. I do see I can modify the couple of templates it comes with. The point in part is to reduce brain clutter. I get it. A few more templates? Well, I’m working on it 🤣 It’s a clean, really pleasant experience that works without glitches. Mind clearing into realistic expectations. Thank you. Thanks! 😊
