The first step in setting up your account with TurboHog is connecting your Google Calendar. If you have multiple accounts you use, you can add them here as well. You can also add other accounts later in your User Settings after the on-boarding process.
Make sure to select all the calendars linked to your account that you would like to use in TurboHog. These can also be selected later if you skip one.
After you have your calendars linked, you can begin adding projects. When creating a new project, you can select a color that will be used to visually display with the task on your calendar, giving you a better overview of what projects are being focused on today at a glance.
If you add an emoji to the project name, TurboHog's natural language detection will ignore it when adding a task to a project so you need to type the emoji each time.
Schedules are what tell TurboHog when to schedule specific tasks. Common schedules include: work, early morning, weekends, etc. You can add a variety of different schedules as a starting point and edit them to fit your schedule, or you can create custom schedules for your workflow.
When adding tasks, you can select from the preset quick add tasks to get an idea of how tasks work, or you can create your own the same way you'll create tasks each day.
To add individual tasks, hit “+ Add custom task” below Quick Add. You can use natural language detection here to quickly set parameters for the task.

If you have multiple tasks to add, you can use the bulk import function at the bottom of the window. This will allow you to naturally type the task details in a comma separated list format. You can include duration, priority, projects, and more details just by typing.
TurboHog will parse the details of each task to determine when/where it should be placed. If something looks off, you can quickly edit it from here before moving forward.
