What usually happens is that, we tend to keep adding tasks to our to-do list without actually finishing even half of them. Then comes a time that the list becomes so overwhelming that we start ignoring it and right away filter out the most important tasks, write it on a post-it note and stick it up to the computer.
This habit is the inspiration behind this app called Stky, that aims to "save you from yourself".
It's pretty simple actually! Everyday start with a fresh sticky note, you can add as many tasks as you want, strike off whatever you've managed to accomplish during the day. Even if you are not able to make it through the entire list, the next day you have a fresh start with a blank sticky. The incomplete tasks automatically go into a 'drawer', and everyday you can pull out selective tasks from this drawer and schedule your day accordingly.
The reason why this method works is that usually an incomplete to-do list tends to scare us and make us anxious, gradually we start ignoring the list and eventually stop making the list at all. Stky on the other hand gives you a blank note every morning, so that you can make a fresh start.
Here's whaat Dave Feldman, developer of this app shared with TechCrunch recently:
"Most of us aren’t disciplined enough to maintain a to-do list effectively. Despite our best intentions it gets out of hand. One day we can’t face the 200 items in our 'today' list. So we close the app, grab a sticky note, write five things on it, and slap it on our monitors."
The app is currently available for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch for $1.99, Feldman does plan to release an Android version. At a later stage you will have web and desktop versions of this app that will automatically sync with your smartphone.
Other than smart interface and a clever yet simple functionality, I really liked Stky's design, what do you say?
