Start each day with a filtered, distraction-free list
Open Google Sheets each morning and see only today's critical items. Notis filters out everything else, removing decision fatigue.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Set Basic Filter
Tool to set a basic filter on a sheet in a google spreadsheet. use when you need to filter or sort data within a specific range on a sheet.
Why this helps
Looking at your full project list first thing causes overwhelm. You spend 20 minutes sorting what to tackle, or worse, work on easy tasks instead of urgent ones.
- Eliminate decision fatigue by auto-filtering to today's priorities
- Reduce time spent sorting vs. doing actual work
- Build a healthier morning routine with less overwhelm
- Complete more high-priority work by shielding from distractions
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Airtable (tasks/projects) and Google Sheets to Notis
- 2Create automation: 'Every morning at 7am, create or update a Daily Focus sheet that filters to show only items due today or overdue, plus any high-priority items I assigned myself'
- 3Set trigger to 'Daily at 7:00 AM' and action to 'Set Basic Filter'
- 4Specify your filter logic: 'Show tasks where (Due Date = Today OR Due Date < Today) AND Status != Done'
- 5Test by checking your sheet in the morning and verifying only today's items appear
Questions about this workflow
What if nothing is due today?
Notis still runs and creates the sheet. You can then manually add items or review the empty list to plan your discretionary time.
Can it sort by effort level or time?
Yes. Tell Notis to also sort by effort, so you see quick wins first or tackle hard work while fresh.
Can it show different lists for different team members?
If you have Airtable assignments, Notis can create personalized daily sheets per person.
Does this overwrite my manual filtering?
It sets a basic filter. Your manual tweaks during the day won't be overwritten until tomorrow morning's run.
