Take a day off

Pick the date, name it, and press Take this time off. The rest of the year spreads out around it.

The steps

  1. Press the Days Off tab.
  2. Open Take time off.
  3. Pick the Date.
  4. Type what it is in Reason. Call it something you will know in February.
  5. Press Take this time off.

Take a day off. No sound. The words are on the screen.

What to know

A day that is still ahead of you asks you nothing. Margin lays the rest of the year around it and the work goes on as usual.
Margin asks you a question only when the day has already gone by and there is unfinished work sitting on it.
A day off is not a school day, so it does not count toward the number your state asks for. A sick day is the one that does.
Leave Reason empty and Margin calls it Off.
