xcloc - Notes, AI task management, anti-procrastination

@jackson_huge Thank you! We believe so. We know that if you take notes frequently valuable ideas emerge, especially if your note taking is searchable and flexible. Many ideas require frequent assessment of what's worth doing and that's expensive. We want to make this process as cheap as possible. Automate as much as possible yet leave the true key decisions on user and make those decisions a breeze (reorder by importance by drag&drop, let the urgencies being recomputed continuously) and then let the behavioral model do it's best: an optimization.

@sandradjajic Exactly, overwhelming, that's when so called "decision paralysis" kicks in. And that is the exact purpose of xcloc's "Plan&Go Now!" aka Big Blue Button is, to overcome decision paralysis: You just push the button, the plan is generated based on your personality and context and the app will ask you in some time like "are you doing what you've commited to do?".

@naveed_rehman I was solving my own problem, which is mild ADHD, which was always quite beneficial to me in terms of always thinking outside the box, creative nature and so. But at some settings it might be really devastating for example if more exhausting factors combine (work issues * family issues * time) you then realize you are pretty down under the things. So you need something to organize yourself with. Because I was used to Jira professionally I tried to set a personal Jira project (So I have multiple work accounts and one personal, crazy) but Jira is a non-flexible behemoth and the cost of task management is high. Higher than you can afford pay if you are down under the things. Notion experience was quite nice, but it's just too flexible and it allows for too much complexity. Plus I really hate the moment when I want to take a quick note and the app loads & syncs really slow sometimes, than I need to find the proper place where the note belongs and become distracted by the technical problems. So I wrote an app myself and become experimenting with computed prioritization and since I'm into neural networks a long time I instantly become modelling my behavior (successes&failures to finish a task which is in certain sequence of tasks in such and such context), predicting optimal sequence to be able to complete work assignments as well as not missing my personal projects. Then i realize I want to have one-stop-shop for self-management, and it need to be super secure, because those are sensitive things you write into your notes, your health data and geo data are very sensitive too. And I realized I would like to offer the solution to others which i relate to: to the ADHD folks, to high performing creative people with multiple interests and goals and many more. You say students. Yes, they are at the period of life when they need to learn to manage themselves and suddenly they need to optimize for multiple objectives which are in clash: education, socializing and mating amongst the most important. Optimizing for multiple objectives with low management cost, that's the purpose of xcloc.

@filip_ognjanovic Great, Filip! Send them, the app is raw but should be already usable (I use it every day). Polishing the UX every day. Everything of course need to start with determination, commitment. The app is here to lower the price of your task management which might be pretty high for some people in some circumstances. We learn stuff from ADHD community as well because they (we) are hardwired to procrastinate (it's called hyperfocus, you rather learn perfect Japanese, than finish your 10 minutes homework delayed for months)
