I’ve been searching for a simple app to provide a speaking time coach with my time blocking approach to my productivity.
This app allows me to link sets of timed activities under titles, such as ‘Monday’, without any fuss or complexity. It announces (speaks) the task and how long has been planned for it. It is totally focussed on one thing: time coaching someone through activities. Brilliant and exactly what I cannot find elsewhere.
Except, it does two things that mean it’s a poor fit for time blocking. 1) tasks can only be 60mins max, so a 4hr time block will need four tasks adding. Unrealistic for a day I expect to be 10hrs long. 2) The coach says ‘Get xx done in y mins!’ It’s too aggressive for time blocking. While this is minor compared to 1, a time blocking coach would simply say ‘Admin for 1hr’, and ‘10 minutes to next task’. Aggressive ‘Get it done!!!’ every 60mins through a whole day is just not something I could stomach.
Sigh. So near but so far. This app has clearly been designed for something else. If the coach had two modes, and tasks could be hours, it would be the best focussed, minimal distraction, productivity app out there.
