Lumberjack is a simple commitment untangler, helping you direct your effort.
You know you'd still like to do something, but you're too exhausted to even find out what. By the time you've excavated your endless to-do list, or your calendar crowded with tasks instead of actual appointments, you have no mental space left to wrangle it all.
You're not lazy. You're not falling behind. You spent the whole day doing things, and all of them were urgent or important. By the time there's a moment to ask what you want, the day is already over.
Yet most “productivity” systems are built on business needs — planning and execution. Whether something is a task, a hobby, or a project of your own, there's more to it than just doing it. You can power through in the short run, but you can also give yourself space to start choosing instead of just doing.
Lumberjack splits the work into one essential question at each step, so your head doesn't have to answer them all at once.
Every thought, request, and idea has somewhere to go, so you don't have to hold it in your head. When you're ready to deal with it, you can accept it, set it aside, or say no with a reason worth keeping. Saying no gets the same care as saying yes.
See what's ready to plan, what you've already planned for today, tomorrow, or this week, and what carried over from yesterday. You see how many hours are already booked, so you know when the day is full before you say yes to one more thing.
Check your list for today, or say how your energy is and how much time you have. Only tasks that fit show up. Arrange them in the order you want to do them, so when one is done the next is already decided.
A permanent record of what you did, sliceable by time, project, or hobby. Not for reporting. For asking honestly where your time went, and where you want it to go next.
Plenty of tasks just get done and ticked off. Group the ones that belong to a project, a hobby, or a routine. The threads start to show. They add up to something instead of vanishing the moment they're done.
A project keeps its tasks together so you can see whether the time you put in is actually moving it forward. Identify where you want to put your energy and what steals your focus.
These never really finish, so instead of progress you see how long it's been since you last made time. Maintenance and chores also have their place, because obligations shouldn't be invisible.
