About six months ago, I decided I wanted to figure out how to help people be more productive so they could spend less time feeling overwhelmed and more time on the things they enjoy. And so, I set out to create the “Fitbit” for productivity.
I read as many books and blogs on productivity best practices, tried countless apps and tools, conducted surveys and ethnography studies and found that we don’t just need another to-do list app. Most of us know how to create to-do lists and in fact, most of us have many, many lists. There are a million ways to create lists including a good, old-fashioned pen and a piece of paper. Creating lists is not the problem.
We struggle with what to do once we have a list. As our lives have become more hectic, demanding and complex, it’s hard to prioritize tasks, avoid distractions and stay focused on completing tasks. This is what I want to try to help solve.
With fitness, we know we should walk 10,000 steps in a day and limit our caloric intake to less than 2,000 calories a day. But, this is much easier said than done. Until Fitbit came along and turned these goals into a daily challenge that became fun and rewarding.
To that end, I am proud and excited to introduce you to priorigami: the art of productivity.
This is not just another to-do list app. This app is designed to help you manage, prioritize and complete tasks more efficiently so you can spend more time doing the things that really matter to you.
It’s simple: enter your tasks and we’ll remind you to select your Daily Top Three. We’ll remind you to Shuffle and prioritize your tasks to make sure you’re focusing on the most important ones. We will also encourage you to get things done and track your progress along the way.
For now, this is just a bare bones MVP available for iOS devices through theApp Store. But it is a good starting point. And, it’s completely FREE for you to use.
You no longer need to feel overwhelmed by your list of tasks or deflated by having too much to do. Start feeling good about getting things done. Download it now and immediately enjoy the benefits of priorigami.
