For the past few months, I’ve found myself juggling multiple projects: some urgent, some long-term, all meaningful in their own way. These aren’t just work tasks. They’re ideas from different parts of my life: church, freelancing, health, learning, home planning and more. All good things, but together…overwhelming.
What I’m Struggling With
- I’m working on projects of all shapes and sizes: each pulling from different parts of my life, and it’s hard to keep them organized.
- Time is limited, and it feels like there’s never enough of it.
- Prioritizing is tough. Everything feels important, and there’s always something slipping through the cracks.
- I also have to be realistic: there’s only so much I can do in a day.
What I Want Instead
So, I’m creating my own app.
- Project, Task, and Idea Tracker – A place to track every project and idea, no matter where it came from. Set tasks so that I can track how I spent my time each day.
- Calendar Sync – The app should sync with my calendar, so I can actually see how I’m spending my time each week and assign meetings booked in the calendar to projects as well.
- Progress Tracker – A way to track progress of a project (finite or infinite) and get the motivation to keep momentum.
- Idea Hub – A space to brainstorm and build on raw ideas until they become something real.
- AI Integration – Using AI to suggest what to do next, and how to make my system better over time.
This app is still in the idea phase, but this post marks the beginning of the journey. I’ll be documenting the process here—challenges, decisions, wins, and maybe even a few lessons.
Let’s see where this goes.
