Every way to capture tasks compared by friction and speed: typing, voice, email-to-task, browser quick-add, and API automation. Honest timings, a speed table, and the contexts where each method actually wins.
Five offline task managers tested in airplane mode and ranked by what actually survives with the network off. Local-first vs cache-then-sync, an honest PWA entry, and the five-step test that exposes fake offline claims.
A practical guide to turning meeting notes into action items that actually get done. Covers the manual checkbox-discipline method, the AI pipeline that dumps raw notes in and returns filed tasks, and the three properties every well-formed action item needs.
AI task prioritization sorts your list using observable signals: deadlines, stale projects, calendar density, and language cues. This explainer covers how the signals and confidence scores work, the contexts AI cannot see, and why the reliable designs keep the human veto.
A 10-minute AI daily planning ritual: evening voice capture, a morning inbox the AI already filed, a top-3 pick, and time-blocking with a focus timer. Plus what the AI should decide overnight and what stays with you.
Six free GTD apps ranked by how completely each one runs the capture-clarify-organize loop at $0: quik.md for voice-first capture, Super Productivity for open-source purists, plus the Apple, Google, and Microsoft defaults, with honest notes on what each free tier actually covers.
GTD maps cleanly onto a developer workflow once you stop trying to run your life out of GitHub issues. This guide covers the issue-tracker boundary, markdown files as projects, coding agents as delegates on your waiting-for list, and a weekly review that measures shipped work instead of started work.
The two-minute rule is GTD's simplest instruction and its most misunderstood one. This explainer covers where David Allen's rule came from, why the math behind it holds, the mornings where it quietly wrecks your priorities, and the voice-capture twist that makes deferring nearly as cheap as doing.
A GTD inbox works when three things hold: few capture points, a fixed processing routine, and a daily emptying cadence. This walkthrough covers the physical and digital setup, the clarify-first processing rules, and the weekly review that keeps the system trusted.
The GTD weekly review is the habit that keeps the rest of the method alive. This guide walks the clear, current, and creative phases with realistic timing, the checklist that actually gets used, and the fixes for the failure modes that kill the review in the first month.
