Hey everyone,
As someone who’s always trying to do more with less, I recently took a hard look at my work setup and realized how complicated I’d made things. I had a notes app for writing down tasks, a to-do list app for organizing them, and a separate timer on YouTube or Google to track my focus sessions. The process became its own task, and it often kept me from actually starting my work.
That’s when I decided to simplify things. I built TaskQueue, a Chrome extension that combines task management and focus timers into one place. No extra apps, no distractions—just the essentials to get started quickly and stay on track. If you’re curious, you can check it out here: TaskQueue on the Chrome Web Store.
Here are a few things I’ve learned about simplifying workflows:
Fewer Tools, More Focus: Having one tool for multiple tasks saves time and reduces friction.
Presets Save Time: Using preset timers (e.g., 25, 60, or 90 minutes) removes the need to fiddle with settings.
Start Small: Writing down one actionable task at a time makes it easier to begin, even on tough days.
I’d love to hear from you:
How do you approach digital minimalism in your work setup?
Are there any tools or habits that have helped you focus better with less?
Thanks for reading! I’m always looking for new ideas to improve my workflow and mindset—let’s share and learn together. 😊
