The problem
You keep it all running, and it is all in your head
- Too many calendarsYour exec's calendar, your own and maybe more. You are never sure which one shows the real day.
- Always askingYou keep checking on tasks you gave to others. You cannot see if they are done.
- When you are away, work stopsNobody else can find anything. It is in your head or your own notebook.

Context
Write it down where it happened
Something is agreed in an email or on a web page. Add a note right there with the browser extension. Humble links the note to that page, so you find both later.
Follow-through
Give tasks to others, with the files attached
- Add a deadline
- Link the doc, sheet or slides it needs
- Assign it to your exec, a teammate or anyone by email
Preparation
Know who you are meeting, and what you last said
Open a person to see their timeline: every note, meeting, email and task with them, in order. You do not need to search Slack and email first.
People
Remember the details about the people you look after
- Write how each person likes to work
- Note birthdays, family and who they know
- See it all when you open their LinkedIn
Continuity
Let someone cover for you, without calling you
- Tag notes and tasks by project
- Link the latest files, do not copy them
- Share the project with the person who covers for you
Cover
Leave the how-to on the page it is for
Write the steps for a task as a note on the tool's own page, like your payroll system. Whoever covers for you opens that page and sees the steps there.
Trust
You decide what stays private and what you share
- Your notes and tasks are private by default
- Your exec sees only what you share
- Your data stays in the EU, encrypted
FAQ
Common questions
No. Your notes and tasks are private by default. Your exec sees nothing unless you choose to share it. There is no surveillance: no screenshots and no activity scores, ever.
It is your choice. Use Humble on your own or with your exec. You can assign a task to someone who has not joined Humble yet. They will not get a message about it. It stays on your own list until they join.
That works well. Link each exec's calendar, and assign tasks to as many people as you need. Helping more than one person does not change how you use Humble.
Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar connect in Humble. Gmail and Outlook on the web work through the browser extension, so you can link an email to a note or task.
A shared calendar or inbox holds one kind of thing. Humble puts your calendars, notes, tasks and a timeline of what has happened in one place. So you do not have to rebuild your day from three or four tools.
