Quick update: another useful widget added to @YourTrailApp 🎉
We have added a much-requested widget: timeboxing planner. With the calendar-like view, you can see your day clearly by allocating time blocks.
This view integrates well with our weekly planner allowing you to assign tasks to time blocks.

Getting started on a tedious task is the toughest part. As soon as I get going, I usually get in the flow and don't mind it as much.
💡 React tip: When you can, derive variables on the fly rather than keeping them in the state. This simplifies keeping your state changes in sync.
