Personal Shutdown and/or Planning Flow
Madi Gagliardi
Totally agree! My personal tasks and stuff I do for my hobbies, yearly/monthly goals, etc. are important things and it feels sad to not see them included in the list of things I got done that day to prompt my reflections.
Maybe by breaking out by channel, or at least by context, you could have multiple lists of what you planned to do (daily planning) or did (daily shutdown) in each "category".

I 100% need this too. In the morning planning wizard when asked, "What time would you like to wrap up work by?" I can't schedule that for the end of the workday, because I have a #personal channel with tasks for that night. Then... if I instead schedule it for later that night after my #personal tasks, I don't always do it because I an not on (or usually
try
to not be on! 😆) my computer at night. If you introduce this feature, make the personal shutdown process optional.

Set end of workday by contexts in daily planning

I'd like to be able to set two different end of workdays, one for work, and one for personal, e.g. wrap up work at 5pm and wrap up personal stuff at 9 pm. Otherwise, if I review work stuff at 9pm, I stick my head back into thinking about work at night, right before relaxing and going to bed. I'd love to have Sunsama help me forget about work at the end of the day, and transition easily into personal stuff.

Yes, I have two "Jobs" one is my professional career and the second one is running my household and life. I use Sunsama for both and often would like to shutdown my work at 5pm so that I can wrap up and clear my head from it and then continue on with my household/personal life filled with coaching sports, DIY housework, and hobbies. Sunsama helps me time-box my life so at the end of the day I don't have any illusion that "I didn't do enough".. would like to have a shutdown main context, I have work context and personal context now and those have several channels but I don't need to shutdown the channels.. just a shutdown for work and well... Life!!! Love this program and can't even begin to explain how much it helps me have a vector or focus for each day!

Yes, this would be wonderful. Right now, my (work) shutdown rolls all my personal tasks into tomorrow, which makes it fairly painful to plan tomorrow's work day in the afternoon, which is what I really want, because it would make me more prepared for morning work, particularly as teammates in different timezones start earlier than I.

Yes, please. I would change it to an optional shutdown flow for each context though.

Brandon Arbini: this would indeed be more flexible... an optional shutdown flow for top level context.
I think simply having
- one global time for shutdown
- then a separate shutdown time ONLY for contexts that have a special shutdown time set
- each shutdown flow only affects the items within its context(s)
