Deferred
Read full descriptionHide full description
Deferred helps you get postponed decisions out of your head and into one clear place. Not everything is a task. Some things are decisions you keep delaying. Over time, they turn into mental load. Deferred is built to capture those decisions so they stop occupying your mind. Add a decision. Write whatβs blocking it. Leave it there until youβre ready. Mark it resolved when you decide. No reminders. No pressure. No timelines to manage. What itβs for? - Capturing unresolved decisions - Adding context with notes - Reducing mental load What itβs not: - Deferred is not a to-do app. - Itβs not for scheduling work. Deferred is for decisions that need thinking.

Instead of endless pros and cons, you give yourself a time limit. When the timer ends, you pause, reflect with prompts, then commit to Yes or No. This is not a habit tracker. Not a journal. Not a productivity system. It is a binary decision tool with built-in reflection and learning.
