Three projects. A full-time job. A media brand with 10K+ followers. And zero burnout. Here's the system that makes it possible.
The Problem
Context switching kills productivity. Every time you switch tasks, you lose 23 minutes to refocus. With multiple projects, that's hours lost daily.
The Solution
I built a custom system that acts as my external memory. It knows:
- What I'm working on
- What's next
- What I forgot about
- What needs attention
The Architecture
Capture Everything
Every idea, task, or note goes into the system immediately. No mental load.
Process Daily
Each morning, the system surfaces what needs attention. I review, prioritize, and execute.
Automate Tracking
Time spent, tasks completed, goals progress — all tracked automatically.
Review Weekly
Every Sunday, the system generates a report. What worked. What didn't. What to change.
The Tech Stack
- Next.js for the interface
- Redis for sessions
- JSON files for data (simple, portable)
- Cron jobs for automation
- Telegram for notifications
Your brain is for having ideas, not holding them. Externalize everything.
