    Hi HN! I was feeling incredibly frustrated with my struggles in context-switching and writing documentation, so I decided to take action and find a solution. I wrote a simple tool for Alfred and Raycast that helps me be more mindful when switching between tasks, which can even prevent some of those switches. Plus, I can jot down quick notes on each task as I go, making it easier to document everything once I’m finished.

    I built TaskTXT.com based on my experience timing my tasks. I found that committing to a task before I start helps with my focus, and guessing how long it will take, then timing it prevents me from wanting to give in to distractions because I'm "on the clock".

    Hi HN, I made FlowTracks – a time tracker that shows how consistent you really are. I’ve tried a bunch of productivity tools: Pomodoro timers, TODO apps, time logs. They helped me focus or stay organized short-term — but none of them gave me a clear picture of how consistent I was over time. I wanted to know: - Which days I drift off - Whether I was improving week over week - When exactly my focus dropped during the day So I built FlowTracks. Originally it was just a tool for myself.
