We’ve enhanced the mind map integration to make weekly planning even easier. Now, when you’re planning your week in your favorite mind mapping tool (like Freeplane):

  1. Simply bold the tasks you want to work on next week. When you import the mind map back into MakeTimeFlow, those bolded tasks will automatically be placed in the @next bucket.

  2. When exporting from MakeTimeFlow, all tasks in your @next bucket will be automatically displayed as bold in the mind map, making them visually distinct.

  3. NEW: We now automatically remove the @next and @later tags from tasks in the exported mind map. This makes editing in your mind mapping tool much easier:

    • To add a task to next week’s work, just bold it
    • To remove it from next week’s work, just unbold it
    • No need to manually add or remove @next tags in your mind map!

This improvement streamlines the weekly planning process. At the end of each week:

  1. Clear all your buckets using the bulk edit feature
  2. Export your tasks as a mind map
  3. Open in Freeplane and bold the tasks you want to tackle next week
  4. Import back into MakeTimeFlow - the bolded tasks will be in your @next bucket

No more manually adding @next to dozens of tasks! This visual approach makes weekly planning more intuitive and faster.

The feature works with any explicit bucket tags in your task text - if a task already has @today, @inbox, or any other bucket tag, that will take precedence over the bold formatting.
