You're doing your best to fight burnout amid working from home, caring for children, worrying about personal finances, and trying to stay safe and healthy. And of course there's the fight against systemic racism around the world.

4 self-care workflows to get through hard times

There are tasks we need to complete every day, but sometimes we just need a reminder of those tasks. With a little help from Zapier that scheduled task can get sent to you by text message at the same time every day.

Schedule is a native Zapier app you can use for recurring tasks. Trigger an action every day of the month, every day of the week or every single day. You can also select the hour of the day. If you're a developer, this is similar to a crontab, cronjob or cron.

Triggers at user-defined intervals (days, weeks, months)

Starting the day on a positive note can help set the tone for your work. This Zap gives you that automatically, sending encouragement weekdays at a specified time to a specified recipient in the form of a random quote you like, or positive things others have said. 

Data isn't always in the format you need. Perhaps a date is in International format, but your app needs it in American format. Or maybe you need to Title Case a subject, truncate text for a Tweet, or turn Markdown text into HTML for your blog. Zapier's Formatter tool can help.

Work with dates and times to change formatting or add/subtract time (with line-item support).

Date / Time

Work with numeric data to do math operations, reformat currencies, and more (with line-item support).

Numbers
