How do I add an event?

Use a clean structure

Strong events usually have four things: a clear title, the right category, a useful date or date range, and a concise description.

That structure improves both scanability on the timeline and the quality of your story output later.

Choose the right amount of detail

Keep the title short and specific, then use the description to explain why the event mattered or what changed.

Rules of Thumb

• Use a short action-based title.
• Pick the lane that best matches the event.
• Use a date range if the chapter lasted over time.
• Add context in the description instead of in the title.

Common Mistakes

• Using vague titles like "Florida" or "Promotion".
• Leaving the date blank when a rough estimate would work.
• Creating multiple overlapping entries for one chapter.
