I'm very easily distracted, a habitual phone checker and struggle with my ability to focus. As a result my co-founder and I decided to make a Mac app that has a simple plain-text todo list, and which displays your current task and a countdown timer on your Mac’s menu bar. I feel that by seeing the task that I’m working on at all times it’s harder for me to get sidetracked, and the timer creates an artificial constraint that keeps me focused. I hope you find it useful, I really would love to know your opinion.
This seems really nice, I've been looking for something like this however for another use. What I'm planning to use this for is keeping track off what I'm doing. Since I very frequently lose track of what I'm doing if I'm for instance solving some problem or if I'm learning about a new tool or program.
