Description

Welcome to the Bento Methodology.

A new mindful approach to task management by limiting you to 3 tasks per day.

Introducing Bento. The Do Less To-Do List

Bento helps you do less, but more meaningful tasks.
We all have plenty of to-dos on our list and our mission is to reduce task overwhelm to maximize achievement.

Bento doesn't replace your to-do list, it complements it!
One of the biggest productivity issues is prioritization - so we've limited you to 3 tasks per Bento box.

So, how does Bento work?

TASK LIMITS

Bento limits you to 3 tasks per box - to help you do less, but more meaningful to-dos. We limit how many boxes you can open to 7 boxes in total, to help you plan only what is most important. Our mission is to reduce task overwhelm to maximize achievement.

SMALL, MEDIUM & LARGE TASKS

Much like a box for sushi, Bento allows you to create small, medium, and large tasks helping you to organize your tasks in sizeable chunks for better completion. The best productivity experts recommend reducing your workload for better per-task performance.

3 ENERGY-BASED WORKFLOWS

Once you have your 3 priority tasks. We've created 3 workflows, Eat That Frog, Climb The Summit, and the Slow Burn to help you best order your day for success and energy.

SINGLE-TASK FOCUS MODE

To truly focus, we need fewer distractions. Blocking out attention to focus on just your key task can make a huge difference. Inside Bento, we have a single-task focus mode combined with a countdown timer for deep focus work states.

DARK & LIGHT MODE

Each box can be customized with an emoji alongside stunningly animated themes. Each theme has a light mode and dark mode, for optimal productivity.

6 BEAUTIFULLY ANIMATED THEMES

Relaxing Japanese-themed backgrounds for a soothing way to handle your most meaningful tasks.

---

Bento can be used in a variety of ways, here are a few recommendations:

- Create a daily Bento to plan your 3 priority tasks
- Plan the full week by adding up to 7 Bento boxes
- Build a week, month, and yearly goals list for planning ahead

The Bento app is the best and most effective place to implement the Bento Methodology, a new mindful way to approach task management. Bento is now optimised for iPad as part of a single universal app for all your iOS devices.

The best thing about this is that it’s NOT a to-do app

I’ve tried all of the mainstream to-do systems out there. You name it, I’ve set up a system to manage tasks and I’ve inevitably moved on. Bento is less of a to do app, rather a system to help reduce overwhelm/anxiety and be intentional about what tasks you try to tackle each day. Which we could all use a pinch of.

Would love to see a MacOS companion app - the user interface is gorgeous and would look great on a big screen.

I always feel so overwhelmed on a busy work day, using the bento methodology to prioritise and plan my day made the tasks seem much less of a chore.

I’ve used it in my work day and can’t wait to bring it into my day to day life. I know I’ll get the important stuff done that I tend to ignore.

A refreshing change

I am enjoying the focus of the Bento Method. The app feels clean and responsive. It’s great that the app links to articles on the method too. I’m not sure when the app will get anymore updates because it has been over a year since receiving any updates. I would like to see Bento synchronise my Bentos across my devices. An Apple Watch app would nice to see, too.
