You cannot add more than 5 tasks. We recommend 3. We made it this way to lessen cognitive overload.
No rollover. Every morning is a clean slate :)
Track your daily wins. Review your past days and see your consistency build up over time.
Hi, I'm John, the creator of this app!
Recently, on one of my favorite podcasts, Lemonade Stand, one of the hosts talked about a personal to-do list app he made where you just set three tasks, and have a nice progress bar at the top to track the percentage of tasks you've finished.
His idea kind of stuck with me. As someone who has used too many productivity apps (TickTick, Notion, Todoist, Monday, Motion, Reclaim), I realized that me(and probably others) often backfill to-do lists with a bunch of tasks. Although the sixth to seventh task we add to the day might be "important", I personally feel that this causes cognitive overload, creating a scenario where people dont't clearly know what they're prioritizing.
This web app enforces an opinionated approach to to-do lists, where the paradigm shifts away from a "second brain" where you dump all your tasks, to a place where you can intentionally pick your biggest 1–3 tasks of the day. It's not supposed to be a complete replacement of your current productivity setup, but an add-on.
I've been using it daily for the past few months. It's made a real difference for me, and I hope it does for you too :)
Warm regards,
John Yang
Adding too many tasks can cause cognitive overload, making it hard to know what to prioritize. Limiting your focus allows you to intentionally pick your biggest goals and hyperfocus on them.
No, it's not meant to be a 'second brain' where you dump all your tasks. It's an opinionated add-on designed to help you execute your top priorities of the day.
The concept was inspired by a discussion on the Lemonade Stand podcast about a minimal to-do list app with a strict task limit and a simple progress bar.
