I'm still working out some of the kinks

(and had a pretty rough morning trying to fix some bugs I created for myself 😅)

But overall, I'm really liking how its turning out! 🙌

👉 What do you think so far?
👉 Does this look like something you would enjoy using?

Here's the flow:
1. Look at your Backlog
2. Drag tasks into your week (or selected day)
3. Refine - assigning time blocks
4. Execute with confidence

No more:
❌️ Overcommitting (you see hourse stack up)
❌️ Forgetting tasks (everything in one view)
❌️ Starting your day with "what should I work on?"

☀️ DAY VIEW (Right Column)

➡️ Click any day to see detailed breakdown
➡️ Morning, Afternoon, Evening timeblocks
➡️ Drag tasks into specific time slots

🗓 WEEK GRID (Center)

➡️ Drag tasks from Backlog onto specific days
➡️ See time estimates add up per day
➡️ Visual overview: "Friday has 25min, I can add more"

📂 BACKLOG (Left Column)

➡️ All your projects and unscheduled tasks
➡️ Shows total time across all projects
➡️ Grouped so you can see the full scope

I wrote more in-depth on the topic here if you want some light reading:

It's pretty exciting to see everything coming together

The tool I built to fix my own overwhelm.

Beta soon. Building in public.

#BuildInPublic #CreatorTools

When you can only see ONE thing?

You stop overthinking.
You just do it.

The problem was never my speed.

It was seeing ALL the tasks at once.

Overwhelm kills momentum.

I entered Focus Mode.

One task at a time.
Giant timer.
Everything else hidden.

3 hours later: 10 of 11 done.

This morning I dragged only 5 important tasks into my new app

Honestly? Wasn't even sure I'd finish those.

Over the next several days I'll be sharing more about this new app:

1️⃣ How it works
2️⃣ How I'm already using it
3️⃣ What I have planned for it in the coming weeks and months

Now I know:

- I have 4 hours today
- These 3 tasks will take ~3h 30m
- That's realistic. I can commit to that.

No more guessing.

No more overcommitting.

No more burnout from impossible schedules.

Using Cursor + Claude Code, I built something completely new:

✅ Time tracking that learns YOUR speed (not generic estimates)
✅ "Today" planning - Pick tasks based on actual time available
✅ Historical intelligence - "You usually take 47 minutes for this"
✅ Focus Mode - One task, zero distractions

I ultimately ended The Nine-Five Podcast because I couldn't keep up with my own impossible schedule of never ending to-dos.

Then I moved to YouTube.

Different platform. Same exhaustion.

So over the past week, I decided to fix the problem.

The problem wasn't laziness.

It was unrealistic expectations.

I had NO IDEA how long things were actually taking me to complete:

"Edit podcast episode"
- 30 minutes? 2 hours? 4 hours?

I'd guess. I'd be wrong. I'd overcommit. I'd burn out.
