Life7: a to-do list that can only remember 7 items. I erased the cat litter outside the litter box, then argued with my partner about cleaning, dealt with the almost-moldy dishes in the sink, opened a new folder on my computer, saw myself in the mirror, getting rounder every day, thought about the dusty fitness hoop in the corner, next to the unopened video game cartridge, and couldn't sleep on sheets that hadn't been changed in a month... What's most important? What do I really want to do? What am I always forgetting? There are always some things I should write down. This App was born for organizing our chaotic lives - the 7 essential things in life for smooth development work and for tidying up my hurried life Features: It can only record 7 things, which can be ordered, but there can only be 7 things Here, you can't do anything extra, only simply organize what you think is most important or what you most want to do. Method: *The book "Scarcity," which is the inspiration for this App You can choose these 7 things according to the following methods (after I seriously organized, I found that they are almost the same) Regular work affairs Special work affairs Hobbies and interests Health and exercise Family relationships Money and finance Learning My seven things: Organize the App's code (every 24 hours) Find someone to fix the air conditioner in the bedroom (within 48 hours) Give the cat a check-up (in two months) Go on a trip (in one month) Help my mom buy a new phone (within 3 days) Sell my bike in the seafood market (within one week) Finish reading the photography textbook (in two weeks) I hope this App can help you, and if you have any suggestions, please leave a comment or send an email. But life is inherently complex, and we need to coexist with our complex needs.
