NoteOut helps you finish one small thing a day. You get a tag and a few random words. Write a single sentence using them, or ignore them, then save it and move on. It should take a minute. Don't edit it, don't perfect it — that's the point. It's not a note taking app; there are plenty of those. It's a task training routine: act on the thought, accept the accomplishment no matter how small, and build momentum to see bigger goals through.
