The Problem
Self-actualization is to achieve one's full personal potential.
In our busy life style there are always so many things to do and little time to achieve them.
There are excellent tools to help us manage our tasks.
Why can't it be the same in our personal life?
The Solution
When everything is organized, there is room for new ideas.
Understating and efficiently accomplishing our mandatory personal tasks, will clear time for new ideas to achieve self-actualization.
This app is all about getting you there.
There are so many task applications on the market
Why don't we use them?
The best way to know your competitors is to try their product.
I downloaded the main apps available on the market and used them for a period of time for my own purposes.
It was interesting to see how each app addressed the same issue from a different point of view and a different approach.
The existing solutions address the issue as a shopping list, a check list for us to delete.
