Vacation, Holiday, OOO, sick leave mode
Kate Pettersson
This would be amazing. There is nothing worse than the dreaded return to the desk and building the to do list all over. I would love a "handover" feature, where OOO is planned into AI and there is a reminder to check in and plan who is taking over tasks whilst you are OOO

I am back from a vacation today, and wish I could see something that celebrated my return and affirmed me for taking time away from work. In our culture of stress and workaholism...I'd like something like that. :) It would be cool to have some sort of function that helped you think through time away and how to jump back in well. I think I remember reading a blog post about coming back after being gone, so I know you all think about those things. I'd love to someday see some cool features around it!

Was looking at the help files to see if this was a thing, and found a spot where it looks like a Loom was going to be posted, but the one about managing Slack was posted twice? Is it possible to get that video in the meantime, please?

A subset of this request, but related: I'd love for the ability to "pause recurring task until X date"
I have a lot of daily and weekly tasks, like "check email" and "review analytics". When I'm taking a two week vacation, right now I go through and delete all these recurring tasks one day at a time.
I don't want to "delete recurring task" full stop because I don't want to lose my routine setup for when I get back. I also wouldn't want a "pause ALL tasks until X date" because I still use Sunsama to track personal habits and chores, even when I'm not working.
A "pause this task until X date" would enable me to much more efficiently clear my calendar for two weeks since I would only need to review and pause/delete every task once to clear my plate.

Weekend / Vacation / Sick leave mode

1) All tasks from Friday are moving to Saturday. Would be great if they will be moved to Monday.
2) When I am sick or have a day off I need to move my tasks manually

Having all tasks rolling back to the day you get back from vacation is nice. But I'd rather have my recurring tasks (like daily planning, daily triage, etc.) removed completely on the days that I'm on vacation. So I'd suggest adding a checkbox like "Do you want to roll back your recurring tasks?" when users are setting the holiday mode.

Uh - with christmas vacation coming up for me, that would be great! Obviously applys to all types of vacations :-)

Yesss. When I'm going on vacation, all tasks and objectives should get pushed back by [vacation duration], and snooze all daily/weekly ritual prompts until the day I'm back.
For extra credit, have Sunsama help me plan for my vacation. Maybe I could mark some objectives as "need to be done before I can go on vacation". Would also love to have the planning rituals know about my vacation - rather than "what can get punted to next week" it could ask "what can wait until after vacation" if I have one coming up next week - etc.

going into vacation - this is becoming ever more urgent. I am planning out my private as well as my work time with sunsama - and having an option to not repeat certain tasks from certain context for a set period of time would just be awesome!

Allow users to select a particular day as a holiday and auto-bump back tasks to the next available working day.
