Synora Guide for Freelancers
How Synora works
Due-dated tasks from the list you already use become blocks in Google Calendar, around the meetings you already have. Connect once. After that it runs in the background.
The system becomes a second job
Most productivity tools hand you a system, and then the system needs you. You end up maintaining projects, priorities, tags and statuses, and none of that is the work you get paid for.
- Projects, priorities, tags, and statuses to keep current.
- A weekend of setup that feels like progress.
- A second job, sitting next to the one that pays.
A background service, not another app
Marcel built Synora because setting up systems felt like progress, and it wasn't.
Synora takes the due-dated tasks from the list you already use and places them as blocks in Google Calendar, around the meetings you already have. You connect it once. After that it runs in the background.

What this course covers
By the end, your week is planned before you get to it. Delivery work has a time, not just a deadline, and you can see what you can actually take on before you say yes.
- 01Your week as it is today — calls on the calendar, work still on a list.
- 02The Google connect, and the first task that gets a date.
- 03The task tool you already use, if it is not Google Tasks.
- 04The situations that actually come up in a freelance week.
- 05What Synora touches, and how you take it back.
