Hey, wondering out loud about that feeling of getting a nice new app/system, setting it up, feeling like this one might actually work… and then losing interest in it after a couple weeks.

I like having things organized, but I really hate organizing once it starts feeling like a damn chore.

For me, I think the upkeep is what kills it. The app/system slowly becomes another thing I have to check, and then I start avoiding it.

What usually kills a task system for you?

Forgetting it exists? Getting overwhelmed by it? Feeling guilty when it gets messy? Losing interest after the setup phase? Something else?

Not looking for recommendations — I’m more curious where these systems tend to break for people, because I can’t tell if this is an ADHD thing or just a me thing.

Hey all, I'm a PM and two of us in my family have ADHD. I've cycled through every task app out there — To Do, Trello, Reminders, etc, etc — and I lose momentum because I need to keep maintaining the labels, tags, etc.

So I built one with practically nothing to maintain. I've been using for a bit and I can't figure out if it's actually worth it. If you signed up, would you still be using it a week from now, and what would make you drop it? Comment or DM and I'll send the link.
