Is keeping plans up to date a real problem, or just something I struggle with?

I’m trying to understand whether this workflow would actually help people working on bigger projects.

The problem I’m looking at:

Making a plan is usually easy.

Keeping that plan useful after a few days or weeks is harder.

Priorities change. New ideas appear. Some tasks become irrelevant. Other things become more important.

To solve this, the workflow is:

  1. Drop your rough ideas, goals and notes into one place

  2. Validate and Turn them into a clearer plan

  3. Break that plan into weekly focus periods

  4. Work through the week in a simple board view: To do, In progress, Waiting, Done

  5. Reflect daily in one place

  6. Use those reflections to suggest what needs updating, changing, or improving

The idea is to create less input heavy, repeatable and keep improving.

It is more about keeping a plan alive as things change.

Would this help in adding any value in your life or work?

Or would it still feel like another system to maintain?

Curious to hear how other people currently manage side projects, client work, solo businesses, study goals, or creative projects.

Everyone is building apps — where is the market actually heading?

It feels like everyone is building an app right now.

But I’m wondering: where is the internet actually going over the next 1–2 years?

As a software engineer, I don’t just want to build another app for the sake of it. I want to understand what real problems are becoming more important.

What markets, behaviours, or software opportunities would you pay attention to right now?

Curious to hear from founders, engineers, indie hackers, and people who are close to users.

How would you find early users for an app like this?

It is a productivity app for people whose plans keep changing.

The problem is not always laziness or lack of discipline.

Often, people start with a clear plan, but then priorities shift, new work appears, and the system they created last week no longer fits this week.

It helps people turn messy ideas into a clear plan, work in short focus periods, and reflect when things change.

The loop is simple:

Plan → Focus → Reflect → Improve

It is still early and looking for people who genuinely feel this problem.

How would you find early users for something like this? www.ritualy.ai

Reddit, LinkedIn, founder groups, direct outreach, or free project organisation sessions?

I’m looking for 3 people with messy projects to help organise for free

I’m looking for 3 people who have a project and want help organising it.

I’m building Ritualy, a simple planning and reflection app, and I want to test whether my project organisation workflow is actually helpful in real life.

If you have a project that feels scattered, I’ll help you for free by turning it into:

- a clearer project structure

- practical tasks

- a one-week focus plan

- simple next steps

This could be for a side project, startup idea, website, content plan, study goal, client work, or personal project?

Is Reddit flooded with too many apps now?

Last week I posted about my app in 4 different communities hoping to get some feedback.

Not a single comment.

I’m not expecting sales or downloads right now — I genuinely just wanted honest reactions so I could improve it.

But it made me wonder:

Has Reddit become overloaded with people launching apps?
Are people tired of “check out my product” posts?
Or am I just explaining the problem badly?

Would genuinely love honest thoughts from other builders.

My projects didn’t fail because of planning - they failed because reality changed a week later.

We spend more time managing our productivity system than actually doing the work. You agree?

Over the last few years, I kept noticing this pattern in both my professional and personal life while building software and solving workflow problems for clients.

Plans would start clearly, but within a week everything drifted.

Tasks in one app. Notes somewhere else. Daily routines disconnected from actual project work.

So I started building something for myself called Ritualy.

The idea is simple:

  • turn messy notes into a clear plan
  • work in short 1–2 week focus periods
  • reflect daily
  • adjust as priorities change

The reflection part has honestly been the biggest shift.

Instead of feeling guilty when plans change, the workflow expects change and adapts around it.

Still very early, but I’d genuinely love hard feedback.

You can grill the idea, workflow, UX, positioning, or anything that feels weak or unnecessary.

There are definitely rough edges and bugs, so I’m less focused on polish right now and more interested in whether the overall flow actually feels useful.

Attached is a short demo video and a link if anyone wants to try it.

Curious how other people keep projects aligned once priorities inevitably shift.
