Getting things done is hard
But I found two tricks that helped me get things done.
Tracking spent effort
Every bit counts. Tracking the effort spent on a task helped me feel a sense of accomplishment. This helped me stick with it for longer.
Planning the day in blocks
We naturally tend to think of our days in blocks (e.g. before lunch, after work). Planning ahead using these blocks helped me mentally prepare myself and get to work when the time came.
These two tricks are the heart of Before lunch.

It was built by this guy 👇
I struggled to do things regularly for most of my life.
During a covid lockdown, I built a small app that let me count the days on which I completed the tasks I planned. Surprisingly, this helped me stick these tasks for longer. So I built another app and tried more ideas for improving my consistency.
After 3 years of experimenting, Before lunch is the result. It contains all the ideas that helped me get things done. Perhaps it can help you too.
