Now, let’s get into today’s value.
Ever had that feeling where you know you can do better but, for some reason, you just can’t?
Like you feel the potential inside you and you don’t want to waste it?
I lived that too, and that’s actually why I created BeBetter.
But what you don’t know is the journey I went through before launching it.
I had the project in mind, I “began,” but… began what exactly?
That’s the thing, I wasn’t really starting. I was jumping from one random task to another, going in every direction, watching tutorials, and procrastinating.
And that’s actually what almost made me quit before even getting anywhere.
Until I found Sunsama. (Literally.)
From that moment, everything shifted. I started using it every day. My days got clearer, my weeks finally became consistent, and my progress started skyrocketing.
I even stopped juggling 10 productivity apps and focused only on this one.
And because of that, I reached 1k subscribers, launched my paid subscription, and even published a book.
But what is Sunsama?
Why should you use it?
And how do you actually use it?
That’s what we’re breaking down today with a full walkthrough of the app and why it fits you perfectly. (I’m really excited, I couldn’t wait to publish this.)
Let’s get started.
ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SUNSAMA
Most people think Sunsama is just a “pretty to-do list” or a calendar app.
It’s not.
It’s a full daily planning workspace built for people who feel overwhelmed, inconsistent, or stuck, the ones who try to be productive but never actually finish their day.
Think of it like this:
🟧 Your tasks (Todoist)
🟦 + Your calendar (Google Calendar)
🟩 + Your focus system (Deep Work / Pomodoro)
➡️ All blended into one calm, realistic interface.
You open Sunsama → your whole life is right there.
No switching apps. No chaos. No guessing.
Here’s everything that matters, explained simply so you instantly understand what it does and why it’s better than every other app you’ve tried.
✔ A real daily planner
Your day appears visually, not as a giant endless list, but as something you can actually finish.
✔ Automatic time-boxing
You add tasks → Sunsama places them in your schedule.
If it doesn’t fit, it shows you instantly.
No more lying to yourself with 14-task days.
✔ Unified Inbox
Your emails, Notion tasks, Todoist items, Slack messages…
Everything appears in one calm place so nothing slips anymore.
✔ Weekly goals that actually guide your week
You choose 2–3 weekly objectives → Sunsama spreads them across your days.
No pressure. No overload. Just progress.
✔ Focus mode (monotasking)
Hit “Focus” → everything disappears except the task you’re doing.
No tabs. No distractions. No chaos.
✔ Automatic time tracking
Sunsama records how long things actually take so you finally understand where your hours go, and why you always feel “busy.”
✔ Smart carry-over system
Didn’t finish?
It moves to tomorrow calmly, without guilt.
✔ Templates for repeated routines
Writing sessions, gym days, morning routines…
One click → added to your day.
✔ Daily + weekly reflections
30 seconds to review your day and fix what’s not working, the habit that makes consistency effortless.
✔ A minimal interface that reduces anxiety
Clean, simple, and peaceful.
Notion overwhelms you. Google Calendar is chaos. Todoist is endless lists.
Sunsama feels like breathing. (and all of these features, damn)
Try it now!
But why should you use it?
WHY SHOULD YOU USE IT?
Let’s be honest:
People don’t want to “be more productive.”
People want to stop feeling like failures, stop restarting every Monday, stop feeling lost and guilty, and finally feel proud of themselves again.
Sunsama solves pains like:
You overload yourself.
Sunsama literally tells you:
“This won’t fit today.”
It forces you to prioritize.
Less guilt. Less chaos. More wins.
You plan emotionally, not realistically.
Motivation lies.
Sunsama doesn’t.
It time-boxes everything automatically and builds a day that actually makes sense, not one powered by “today will be different” energy.
You start your days stressed and end them confused.
Its Daily Rituals guide you at the start and clear your mind at the end.
Your brain finally gets to breathe.
You’re inconsistent.
Sunsama makes consistency stupidly simple:
plan → work → reflect
No discipline needed — just follow the flow.
Your life is scattered across 5 apps.
Gmail, Notion, Google Calendar, random to-do apps… Sunsama pulls everything into one place.
Nothing slips. Nothing hides. Nothing gets lost.
If your goal is to:
• reach your goals faster
• stay consistent
• stop procrastinating
• avoid burnout
• and finally feel in control
Sunsama is built exactly for that.
And for those of you growing a newsletter: yes, it helped me. A lot.
💰 Price & Free Trial
I won’t lie to you, the price is something to consider.
In fact, I didn’t try it at first because of this:
• $20/month
• Or $16/month billed yearly
• 14-day free trial, no credit card
It may seem like a lot, but here’s how I picture it:
If a single app saves you 1 hour of procrastination or random work, what does that mean?
1 hour becomes 7 by the end of the week, and 7 hours is maybe a full chapter of a book.
Then that book becomes a product.
Then that product pays for the app.
And you can use the 14-day free trial to see if it fits you. If not, then you know.
That’s what I did, and now I reached 1k subscribers and saved at least 2 complete days.

🎯 HOW I USED IT TO REACH 1,300 SUBSCRIBERS AT 19
Here’s the real story, the real secret.
For the last two months, I used Sunsama differently than most people.
Not just “daily planning.”
Not just “time-boxing.”
I built a system inside the system, a loop that forces consistency even when your motivation is dead.
Weekly Vision → Turned Visual
Every Saturday or Sunday, I dropped everything into Sunsama: my goals, steps, deadlines, priorities.
Making it visual made it impossible to lie to myself.
Dreams became actions.
Ideas became blocks of time.
Daily Micro-Adjustment (5 minutes)
Every morning:
“What actually matters today?”
“What moves my life forward?”
“What can I delete?”
Not add — delete.
That’s the secret most people skip.
Nightly Realignment
Every night I reviewed:
• what I finished
• what didn’t matter
• what needed to change
This created the one thing I never had before: momentum.
The Hidden Advantage
Most people use Sunsama to “plan.”
I used it to remove friction.
My brain didn’t need to think anymore.
I didn’t have to restart every day.
Everything flowed.
That’s how I hit 1,000 subscribers faster than expected.
Not by grinding.
Not by sacrificing my life.
But by showing up with clarity, every single day.
Not it’s your turn.
THE STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL If You Want Start
Start with Today View
Open Sunsama → hit “A” → dump your tasks.
Get everything out of your head.
If you don’t know which tasks or goals you should have, you can read this post: (link)
Let Sunsama time-box everything automatically
It places your tasks in your calendar instantly.
If it doesn’t fit → red warning.
This saves you from your own chaos.
Pin what actually matters
Pin 1–2 essential tasks.
These MUST happen.
Everything else is optional.
Add breathing room
Turn on 5–10 minutes between tasks.
Small breaks matter more than people think.
Use the Daily Shutdown
End your day reviewing:
• done
• not done
• tomorrowThis builds consistency without willpower.
Use Weekly Objectives
Every Sunday: pick 2–3 goals → spread them across the week.
Tiny steps, every day → momentum guaranteed.
Use Focus Mode (Monotasking)
Start a task → hit Focus Mode → distractions disappear.
This is how you stop jumping around and actually focus.
Bonus strategy
After the week ends, reflect on what worked and what didn’t.
Look where your energy went and note it down for the next week.
That’s what I started doing after staying stuck at 2 subscribers for 2 months, and now I ask myself how I wasn’t doing the actions I do today.
Get Sunsama
You might be reading this and considering it (if you’re still here, you’re at least a little interested), but you haven’t tried it yet.
You have a free trial.
I know you might have other apps, not enough time, or you’ll forget, that was me too.
But if you never try it, how could you know?
I sincerely recommend you try it, because it’s one of the main reasons my life changed and I achieved my goals.
FINAL WORDS
What I want you to remember is that Sunsama is a great app to stay consistent and feel productive in a simple way.
It saves you 1 hour of your day and doesn’t take more than 10 minutes to use.
It combines Todoist, Google Calendar, and Notion into one place.
Plus, they offer a 14-day free trial if you want to test it out (which I recommend, like everything in life).
What could happen?
Worst case?
You try Sunsama for 2 weeks.
You realize you don’t like it.
You unsubscribe.
And you go back to your normal life.
No risk. No loss.
Best case?
You build the same consistency that helped me:
• reach 1,000 subscribers
• write my first book
• stay on track as a 19-year-old building a business
• grow BeBetter faster than expected
Your days become designed, not survived.
Your goals come closer, not further.
Your life finally feels like it’s moving, not stuck. (Isn’t that awesome?)
Try Sunsama and let me know what you think of it:
Now I want to hear from you:

Let’s grow, consistently and intentionally, together.
