Have you ever made a serious plan and then simply forgotten to execute it? Almost everyone has. The problem is usually not the plan itself, but the missing "trigger" that connects the plan to action.
ToToday's daily push notification is that trigger.
What are daily push notifications?
Every day at the time you set, ToToday sends you a message through Feishu or Slack. The message includes today's Three Frogs, tasks that are coming due, and a short line of motivation.
You do not need to open the app proactively. The message comes to you. Before you start work, before your most productive time begins, it reminds you what matters most today.
Why Feishu and Slack?
Because these are the first apps many people open when they start work. Instead of sending a notification somewhere you rarely check, ToToday delivers it where you already look. The push finds you, not the other way around.
How do you set it up?
Feishu setup steps:
- Create a custom bot in Feishu and get the Webhook URL
- Paste the Webhook URL into the ToToday settings page
- Choose a push time, preferably 15-30 minutes before you start work
- Save it, and you will receive the first push the next day
Slack setup steps:
- Connect ToToday in Slack by clicking "Connect Slack" in settings and completing OAuth authorization
- Choose the target, either your personal DM or a dedicated channel
- Choose the push time
- Save the configuration
How should you choose the push time?
Most people should set the push 15-30 minutes before work starts. If you begin at 9:00, set it to 8:45. When the push arrives, glance at the three most important things and start working.
Do not set it too early, such as immediately after waking up, because seeing tasks first thing may increase anxiety. Do not set it too late either, because once work has already begun, the push loses its startup value.
The reminder itself becomes the habit
Habit researchers divide habits into three parts: cue → behavior → reward. Daily push is the cue. When you receive the push at the same time every day and then start working, after enough repetitions, the push itself becomes the signal to begin -- like an alarm clock telling you to get up. You do not need willpower, only a familiar trigger.
