The premise behind this app is that there are a whole class of to-dos that don't need constant review, organization, prioritization and so on in list form. Personally, I've found that a list is great for decomposing a problem at work into steps, or remembering things when I'm shopping - but in terms of helping me get things done in my life, they're useless and somewhat oppressive. Weeds sprout unhindered, mom goes uncalled, flowers go unbought for the wife, the car goes undetailed, and so on. Pushing items around on a list doesn't get these things done.
To→done represents an intentional constraining of the 'todo' problem that I've found forces you into not obsessing over/playing with a list, and actually compels you to take action. Moreover, it attempts to create a mental contract with yourself by stating that "it will take me 30 minutes to pick the weeds" and later, when you have 30 minutes free, forcing you to acknowledge that if you just got off the computer, you could actually take care of those pesky weeds right now.
The app is dead simple. I'd love to hear from people if they think that a methodology like this could help them get things done in their life (or maybe it's just me.)
Thanks! To→done
