How Zeus works and how to use it

What is Zeus?

Zeus is a project-level dashboard that answers one question: “What should I work on next?”

It is NOT a replacement for Todoist or Google Calendar. It sits above both, pulling in tasks, events, and emails to give you a unified ranked view of all your projects based on how urgently each one needs attention.

Zeus does

Rank projects by urgency
Track “where did I leave off?”
Show what needs attention
Filter by machine/category

Todoist does

Manage granular tasks
Track due dates on tasks
Organize task priorities
Handle recurring tasks

Key idea

Every time you finish a work session, log a status update. This resets the staleness clock and leaves a breadcrumb for future you.
