Chapter 1: The Bento Approach

At Bento, our goal is to empower you to accomplish fewer tasks that hold greater significance. A significant challenge many face is effective prioritization, often resulting in overwhelming to-do lists that exceed twenty items. Instead of merely checking off tasks, we encourage you to reflect on the importance of those tasks in your daily routine. This philosophy is the foundation of both the Bento method and its accompanying app.

Bento transcends being merely an application; it represents a comprehensive methodology you can integrate into your daily activities. By implementing this framework, you can focus on completing fewer tasks that truly matter. We are eager to guide you on utilizing the Bento app effectively.

The Bento Method is built upon three fundamental principles:

1.1 Packing Your Tasks

In today's fast-paced world, our to-do lists can often seem endless. The Bento Method encourages you to prioritize three essential tasks each day. Think of this as packing a Bento box, where each task is assigned a specific time slot.

Tasks should be categorized as follows:

• Small: Quick wins, such as administrative duties or personal wellness activities.
• Medium: Tasks that require a moderate level of energy and focus, but don’t demand your full attention.
• Large: High-concentration tasks that require minimal distractions, including important meetings.

An example of a well-prepared Bento box might include three tasks arranged by size, ready for the day ahead.

1.2 Workflow Management

Bento's workflows are designed to help you streamline your daily tasks effectively. Prior to packing your Bento box, consider ordering your tasks based on your preferred method.

There are three primary workflow strategies to choose from:

• 🐸 Eat That Frog (Large > Medium > Small)
• 🗻 Climb The Summit (Medium > Large > Small)
• 🏃🏼 Slow Burn (Small > Medium > Large)

We suggest aligning these workflows with your energy levels. For instance, if you’re energized in the morning, try the "Eat That Frog" approach; if your productivity peaks in the afternoon, consider the "Slow Burn."

1.3 Maintaining Focus

Once you've packed your Bento box and selected a workflow, it’s time to dive into focused work. Bento offers various methods to help you enter a "deep work" state, including:

• One-Task Mode: Concentrate solely on one task at a time, with calming animated backgrounds to enhance your focus.
• Countdown Timer: Set a timer to track your progress and stay on schedule.
• Background Music: Play non-instrumental music to help maintain your concentration and motivation.

Bento is more than an app; it’s a comprehensive methodology designed to enhance your productivity. We will soon launch a course aimed at helping you explore the full potential of Bento and tailor it to your specific needs.
