I love Sections in Projects, and I think my list of tasks for the day would be less overwhelming if it had some kind of divider system. Even something like scheduled tasks are sectioned off into little groups based on the Task Stack they are in, with the name of the Task Stack as the section name, so I can see at a glance that these belong together, this is the context for this list, etc.
Sorting by project does not solve this, because a.) they are still undivided and a big wall of text b.) I'd prefer a linear, time based sorting, and sometimes there are multiple projects or areas in the same stack or time block, so sorting by project would scatter them all over.

Livia Farkas: Hi Livia, thank you so much for your feedback! There's something you said that I'd like to understand better: if you already planned your tasks in calendar, why would you like to organize them in the "scheduled on calendar" today's section?

Stefania that's a very good question! It makes sense in my brain, but I'll try to put it into words.
I use the Calendar to see WHEN I do my tasks, and the Today section to see WHAT I need to do today. Putting them on the calendar sorts them by time, which is great, but when I see a list of 15-20 things (some are 5 minutes, some are 45), my ADHD panic kicks in and it feels overwhelming. Sections would make them feel manageable. Also, I like Stacks to time block, but clicking on a Stack to see the tasks in it is one more decision I have to make and it adds up. I love the comprehensive Today view to see how I need to pace myself, but sections would help me see morning admin tasks, day closure tasks, etc. from the big focus tasks of the day.
I work in a small team of 3, so many of our shared meetings and events I need to know about but not attend, I do this by using colours and emojis, but these are also on my calendar view and obstruct the flow of my tasks. Team Calendar toggles don't work for this in my case, I need to see them more permanently than toggling my team mates in, and I am also a member of the shared team calendar.
Does this make sense? Please let me know if you need more info, I know that what seems obvious to me is not for everyone. Thank you!

Livia Farkas: Hi Livia, thank you so much for taking the time to explain, it's very clear right now. I'll let you know if we'll add custom sections or anything else that should improve your Akiflow use. Thanks again!

+1 this, even automatically adding custom sections for timeslots that are added on that day would be a very neat way to organize my tasks!

I constantly notice needing this… Sorting by priority and daily goals is not enough if you have lots of tasks for today.
