Hi there! My name is Henry Shapiro, one of the co-founders of reclaim.ai. Today, I want to share some exciting news with You. You have been chosen to participate in a private beta testing phase of our new and improved prioritization system. We have been working tirelessly to tackle the challenge of integrating your priorities into your calendar and leveraging them to optimize your scheduling. In this video, I will walk you through the key changes and features of our new system, focusing on time-blocking, task management, smart one-on-ones, and scheduling links. Get ready to revolutionize how you manage your time!

The Problem with Prioritization

Have you ever struggled with prioritizing your tasks and fitting them into your busy schedule? We understand that effectively managing priorities is crucial for productivity and work-life balance. That's why we have spent years pondering over this problem, striving to find the best solution. Traditional approaches often fall short, leading to scheduling conflicts and neglected tasks. We knew there had to be a smarter way to prioritize, and we finally cracked the code.

Introducing Reclaim's New Prioritization System

Our latest update introduces a comprehensive revamp of our prioritization system. We have divided the world into four priority levels: critical, high, medium, and low. Whether it's habits, tasks, smart one-on-ones, or scheduling links, we've got you covered. Let's explore each of these aspects in Detail.

Overview of the New System

Once you log into the planner, you will Notice a new sidebar. This sidebar serves as your hub for managing your priorities. It displays all your habits, tasks, and events, categorized according to their priority level. This allows you to see how your schedule is being prioritized and make any necessary adjustments.

Prioritizing Habits

Habits play a crucial role in our daily lives. With our new system, you can now assign priority levels to your habits. This means you have more control over when and how your habits are scheduled. For example, you can designate lunch as a critical priority (P1), ensuring that nothing interferes with it. On the other HAND, less critical habits, like catching up on invoices, can be classified as a low priority (P4), giving them flexibility in scheduling.

Prioritizing Tasks

Tasks are an integral part of our workflow, and managing them effectively is vital for productivity. Under the new system, tasks also receive priority levels. When creating a task, you can assign it a priority flag, indicating its importance. Reclaim considers not only the due date but also the priority when scheduling tasks. This ensures that high-priority tasks with later due dates are scheduled ahead of lower-priority tasks.

Prioritizing Smart One-on-Ones

We understand the importance of Meaningful and time-efficient meetings. With our new system, you can now prioritize your smart one-on-ones. Whether it's a critical meeting with your team lead or a less urgent catch-up session, you can determine the priority level. This gives you the ability to allocate more time for crucial discussions, ensuring nothing important gets overlooked.

Prioritizing Scheduling Links

Our scheduling links feature has been enhanced to provide even more granular control over your availability. You can now Create different priority levels of scheduling links, each offering a specific level of availability. For example, a P1 link will display more open slots than a P3 link. This allows you to structure your links Based on priority and flexibility, ensuring you allocate the right amount of time for each Type of meeting.

Prioritizing Non-Reclaim Events

What about events that were not created using Reclaim? In the past, Reclaim did not interfere with or book over such events. However, with our new system, you can now prioritize your non-Reclaim events. You have the power to decide if certain events are open for rescheduling or if they should take precedence over lower-priority commitments. This shift in approach gives you more control over your schedule, allowing you to optimize your availability.

4. Improved work-life balance: The new system empowers you to prioritize non-work commitments and events, reducing conflicts and ensuring you have sufficient time for personal activities and important appointments.

Concerns and Limitations

While our new prioritization system offers significant advantages, it's important to acknowledge its limitations. We want to be transparent and address any concerns you may have:

1. Learning curve: Adjusting to the new system may take some time as you get accustomed to assigning and managing priority levels. We recommend familiarizing yourself with the features and exploring their benefits gradually.
