My productivity app is a never-ending .txt file

It's getting harder to focus every day

I’m feeling it right now. I had to set a timer for 15 minute on my computer and block all distractions to write this. If I didn’t force myself to focus I would easily get distracted by something after few minutes. Even when I’m doing things that I’ve been waiting to do it, I still feel the urge to do something else. I don’t know how and when this happened. During the last few years I was always studying, working, and doing open source. And actually got stuff done. Doing all of those at the same time requires paying attention to what I wanted to do and ignore the noise.

Just in time software

I didn’t plan to write software in the grocery store last night. I was tired and hungry, kids in tow. My long shopping list sat in a text message. I wished I could check items off as I found them. Ideas filtered through my head: I could transfer the list to a piece of paper: too tedious I could copy/paste it into a notes app or an email draft and delete items: too much tapping I could search the web and app store for a thing that would do what I want (of which there were no doubt a great many): slow and painful and annoying Nope nope nope nope nope.
