Just spent the morning building a new screen that helps me stay on track. Now, instead of getting sucked into a vortex of scrolling through a task list, I can see my progress and make progress on my day. The focus ring is back, and this time it actually works #productivitystruggles
No caption needed.
Updating dashboard to stop nagging me about tasks I've already done. Small win, but a relief. Now my tasks will at least make sense when I see them #taskmanagement #softlaunch
Apple's got opinions on our app, and honestly, who doesn't love a good nitpick? I spent the day tweaking our review process guidelines to ensure we meet the guidelines (no matter how pedantic they are). Fixed a few tasks, one less headache for me (and maybe you too?)
Trying to tame the beast of my to-do list. Implemented local AI on Android to help me (maybe) stay on track. Currently tracking my laundry, still trying to get the coffee maker to remember it's dirty. #techforselfcare #adulting
Just spent the last few days wrestling with task breakdowns. Added an AI-powered feature that lets me break down tasks into manageable chunks without having to write code to do so myself. On-device, cloud, or a mix - I've got options. Now to test it all out #taskmanagement #productivityhacks
Made voice transcription work on iPads. Still a long way to go, but tiny steps. Now I can dictate to-do lists on my iPad without having to type or use the built-in notes app. #taskmanagement #techwoes
Trying to adult without losing my mind. Just improved body doubling presence tracking, which means I can finally know who's doing the dishes. Progress, not perfection. #taskmanagement #adultingstruggle
Adding some sanity to the voice transcribing feature. Now it's less likely to blame the app for my mum's incorrect definitions #lifehack #techstruggles
Renaming my app from 'iosApp' to 'ParaCortexiOSApp' because, honestly, that's the only thing keeping me sane right now. Just got rid of 'generic' from my todo list too. 5 tasks completed, 1000+ to go #taskmanagement #productivitystruggles
Ugh, my life is a mess. Decoupling the DashBoardScreen from TaskDetailScreen. Just made it slightly less of a nightmare. Now I can update the board without crushing my brain with task details. #taskmanagementstruggles #code
Fixed some issues with theme selection, because let's be real, aesthetics matter. Now I can pretend I'm a functioning adult with a clean task list #taskmanagement #bugfix #adulting
Fixed the theme selection. Finally got around to fixing the theme switcher. Less frustration, more productivity. Now I can focus on not forgetting to water my plants #taskmanagement #gottagetitdone
Just spent the day wrestling with live activities on iOS. Finally got it working and can now focus on tasks without my phone buzzing me to death. Added a new service, updated our UI, and made some minor dependency injection tweaks. #taskmanagement #liveactivities #iOSdev
Building the task management app I wish I had. Today, I refactored the authentication and task management layers. No more tedious manual login processes or laggy task updates. Progress #taskmanagement #softwareengineering
Trying to make my life (and testing) easier. Simplified some assertions for TaskRepositoryImplTest. Less code means less chance of my own bugs tripping me up #softwareengineering #taskmanagement #testing
Getting things done
Added some soothing sounds to the app to help me focus. Brown and pink noise tests are live. Still working on Koin verification, but at least I can sleep better now #taskmanagement #softwareengineering #selfcare
Finally, some sanity in my codebase. Unit tests written by Qwen3, because I've been putting off doing actual work for too long. Now, I can pretend I'm getting stuff done on social media #taskmanagement # codinglife # adulting
Just wanted to make my own task management app, but instead it's making me. Currently listening to soothing background noise to actually get some work done. Implemented procedural Focus Audio Engine with pink and brown noise for background sounds. #taskmanagement #productivity
Tablet layout changes, because adulting is hard. Managed to make the app more user-friendly on larger screens. Still not perfect, but one step closer to not being a hot mess #taskmanagement #selfcare
Trying to adult without too much guilt. Just wrote some code to make my task list remember my own habits. That's it. #lowtechsolutions #adulting
Restored the dashboard. Finally, my to-do list and I are reunited. No more clutter, just clarity. Now, where's that pesky Buy milk task... #taskmanagement #productivity
Just made my life easier... or so I'm told. Implemented AI-detected recurring tasks with RRULE support. Now I can finally get my chores done guilt-free #TaskManagement #SimplifyMyLife #GuiltFreeProductivity
Just tried to adult today and remembered I need help staying on top of things. Built a new feature that lets our app give me gentle (and not-so-gentle) nudges when I'm about to switch between tasks. I'm talking contextual, shame-free guilt-free, you feel me? #productivityhacks #getitdone

Thank you for the reminder! I'm not lazy, I'm just overwhelmed. Starting small and building momentum is exactly what I need. Will definitely check out the book and resources you shared
Just helped my tasks get a little less annoying. AI message generation is live! No more tedious email chains or tedious voice assistants. Just my thoughts, now in a coherent format. Progress, one commit at a time #productivityhacks #taskmanagement
Just fixed the issues with multiple notifications. Honestly, I'm still getting used to not having to refresh my task list 5 times a day to see if I've actually done anything. Progress, right? #taskmanagement #guiltfree #stillnotperfect
