- Overwhelmed by the volume.
- Discouraged by the effort required.
- Frustrated by lack of progress.
I always liked how kanban boards worked on my job, but when trying to translate them to my personal life they got too big and unwieldy fast.
I figured out that if I made them infinitely nestable I could solve the 3 problems at once
- Being able to break down the tasks into smaller and smaller subtasks until the activation cost didn't discourage me.
- Hiding the total volume in that nesting dimension, I can have more focused visibility and avoid being overwhelmed by the volume.
- Tracking even the most minimal progress kept me motivated as I had immediate feedback that my effort wasn't in vain.

Feedback is appreciated. Enjoy!
