Modus Ordo

Every task, organised like a database

Homework, assignments, IAs and exams live in one place. See them as a list, a table, a board or a calendar, with status, subject, due date, effort and progress as real columns.

Four views of the same tasks

Pick the view that fits what you’re doing. They all show the same tasks, so nothing gets out of step.

Tasks as a table with status, subject, category, due date and priority columns
The Table view: twelve open tasks across six subjects, sorted by due date.
Task views and what each is good for
ViewGood for
ListWorking through what’s next. Grouped by status, subject or due date, with “+ New task” in every group.
TableSeeing everything at once. Every property is a column you can sort.
BoardSeeing what’s stuck. A column per status; move a card with its menu, no dragging needed.
CalendarSeeing when things land. Each task on the day it’s due.

Columns that mean something

Colour always comes with a word, so a glance tells you a lot and nothing depends on colour alone.

Big tasks, broken down

Assessments get steps, checkpoints and a clock

An assessment is more than a due date. Each one has its steps (thesis, body paragraphs, conclusion, edit), a draft checkpoint, the conditions from the task sheet like the word count, and the time you’ve spent against the time it’ll take.

The Planner turns the steps into blocks in your week, so a four-week IA doesn’t become a one-night IA.

Tasks as a board with a column for each status

Adding tasks without the admin

Getting work in should take seconds. Press Ctrl + . from any screen for quick capture, add a task inline in any group, or just tell the Manager.
