Getting ready for Eid
For the days before Eid al-Fitr or Eid al-Adha: the tiring cleaning goes first, calls and the visit plan are sorted by noon, and the shopping happens in one trip.
Eid is in three days and everything's going round in my head. Clean the living room and the guest room this morning, two hours. Bake the ma'amoul today, an hour and a half, or I'll just buy some. New Eid clothes for the kids, I'll go shopping this afternoon. Get sweets and Eidi envelopes. Call Grandma about what time we're coming on the first day. Make a visit list: who we see on which day. My sister's family is coming at 7 tonight for tea. I want to wash the curtains but probably won't get to it.

Brizemi builds the day around your calendar, with breathing room in between. When the day slips, tap Rescue.
Tips for this day
- Mark the cleaning as Tiring and Brizemi puts it in the morning, when your energy is highest. Break it into Steps, one per room, and you always see where you are.
- Give the Eid clothes a Due date; even if they don't fit in today, the date stays on the card.
- If the shopping runs long, tap Rescue: keep the essentials and tonight's visit stays put, the baking gets parked, and you buy the sweets instead.
- If Eid is a few days away, use This week (Pro) to spread things over the days: cleaning one day, shopping the next, baking the day before.
Why this day is built this way
The days before Eid are full of things that depend on each other: guests arrive before the cleaning is done, there are no new clothes without a shopping trip, and without a visit list every phone call drags on. This day puts the most tiring job, the cleaning, in the morning and settles the visit plan by noon with one call and one list. The afternoon is a single shopping trip, with clothes and sweets on the same run.
The ma'amoul sits in Could, because buying some is always an option. There's a free hour before your sister's family arrives, so the evening doesn't start in a rush. The curtains didn't fit today; they wait in Parked and find a place on one of the days left before Eid.
If you have this day often
If this is a day you have often: when it goes well, tap "Save this day as a template" in Close the day, and next time it sets up in one tap (Day templates, Pro).
A guide on this
Questions people ask
Does this work for Eid al-Adha too?
Yes. Swap the things in the dump for your own preparations: shopping, cleaning, calls, visits. Say any guests or appointments with a fixed time and Brizemi fits the rest around them.
Can I plan the Eid days themselves like this?
Yes. Once the visit list is done, put each day's visits in that day's dump. Visits with a set time stay fixed and there's breathing room in between, so a long drive doesn't knock over the day.
