Backstory.
Procrastination is my big problem. There are no simple whys and hows about it. It is just how our neural system works. How easy or hard it is to do something depends on a lot of things like personality, mood, time of day, some random events, and so on. And the simplest solution often seems to be pushing the task to tomorrow.
Even the smallest task doesn't exist in isolation. When it comes to big projects, work, personal life, and family, you can't really separate one from the other. There is never enough time, and often you have to sacrifice something. But some people naturally manage to do everything—they just get things done.
I've been trying to do something about it for a long time. In particular, I tried many different tools, to do lists, time managers, project managers. Most of these tools are designed to discipline me and none of them cover my needs. I always came back to google sheets, Keep and handwriting notes. So, I decided to develop my own.
I have no idea what the final product will look like. I've just started with this small component. Any feedback would be helpful.
About not knowing what I want. I began coding 7 weeks ago, because I couldn’t explain to my team what I wanted. I didn’t know what I wanted until I saw it. I started with Python, then switched to TypeScript, Node.js, and React. I installed Next.js for the first time 10 days ago. Actually this is why I have all these steps to initiate a new project and install dependencies. There are no such things like ‘create a folder’ or ‘run vs code’, but all other steps are written in the google sheet. I’ll be thankful for any technical comments too.
