Daily life with procrastination.

  • „I look at the task and have no idea where to start."
  • „I do easy things to avoid that one hard one."
  • „My to-do list grew to 80 items and I stopped opening it."
  • „In the evening I feel the day flew by and I did nothing."
TaskAura's answer

Small steps, at your pace.

  • AI Coach breaks the task into a 2-minute first step.
  • 2-minute rule + Pomodoro = a lower barrier to start.
  • GTD Inbox: dump it from your head, sort it later.
  • Morning brief + Eisenhower matrix: 3 things that really matter today.
How it works

Four cycles to get your day back.
