Today's Task Extension

To-do lists do not work.

Reason? Our goal setting abilities are a lot enhanced than our goal completing environments. The conflict between this results in a tension between what we want to do and what we can do.

Enter Today's Task!

Today's Task chrome extension solves the very particular problem of this conflict. Today's Task will allow you to conquer more projects by focussing on one task per day.

Remember - less is more.

Today's Task aims to help users conquer more projects through a more focused approach.
