It improves your productivity

A routine planner helps individuals prioritize tasks and allocate time efficiently, leading to increased productivity.
By planning and scheduling activities in advance, it becomes easier to stay focused, avoid procrastination, and accomplish tasks effectively.

Let's start with a story about Maria. Maria is a working mom who struggles with finding time for herself amidst her busy schedule.

She is always on the go, taking care of her kids, managing her job, and handling household chores.
She wants to take care of her health and spend more time doing things she loves, but it seems impossible with her hectic routine.

One day, a friend told her about Justly, and how it could help her manage her time better. Intrigued, Maria downloaded the app and started exploring its features. She discovered that Justly had a routine planner that could help her schedule her day, including all the activities she wanted to do.

Maria started by adding simple activities like Drink 8 glasses of water a day and Walk for 30 minutes daily.
She also added some me-time activities like Read a book for 30 minutes and Meditate for 10 minutes.
With Justly's repeat schedule feature, Maria could set these activities to repeat daily, weekly, or monthly.

Steps for adding new activity :
