I'm curious:<p>What tasks did you manage to procrastinate on while putting this app together?

+ve. I really enjoyed how the text area border and shading appear and disappear when you tab between them. And I am not easily amused.<p>-ve. On a HD monitor, it almost doesn't fit on the screen. Trying in in a smaller window, only the first goal appears - even after closing the instructions.<p>-ve. When closing the instructions, the text of the goals is not moved (though the headings are). I'm using FF 2.0.0.7, linux.<p>However, your main focus is the productivity of the app, and any remarks I make on that would uninformed, as I think it would take a trial of at least several days to tell (1) how helpful the "two goals at a time" approach actually is for a specific person; and (2) how helpful this tool is for supporting that approach. But I like the idea, and I like the execution.

Hmmm....I like the idea of having two goals to switch back and forth from, but I'm not seeing how your app is any different than putting a post-it note on my computer screen. In fact, a post-it note on the computer screen might be a little bit better about keeping me focused, simply because it would always be there, staring me in the face accusingly as I procrastinate by reading HN.<p>Of course, the fact that I have to babysit myself may be more of a reflection on me than on your app...

Why no more than 2 goals? Is this number arbitrary or is there any reason for it?

I'm going to have to try it out and see if it inspires me, but you win the first test, which is that this is a very, very sexy app.

The design is broken on IE8

Not bad! :-) A nice mnemonic tool, anyway. See it once and never forget.
