I made a reusable desktop to-do system that solved my procrastination problems

[u/Tarfool4]

I made my own reusable magnetic to-do list system because I couldn't find one online. The cards are cut from stainless steel with an off-white dry erase surface, the dock that holds the cards also has a carved groove for my pen. It's been great for keeping my tasks right in front of me instead of buried in my notebook. It looks great next to my new Gaming PC case.

How does this works?

Looks like a kanban board

Magnets!

How do they work

[u/Material_Distance260]

Can you share more info? I’d love something like this

[u/ThortheAssGuardian]

Simple and effective. Keeping things surfaced is more challenging than it seems.

Physical system like this actually beats most digital to-do apps for daily tasks, no login friction or notification overload to deal with. The pen groove is a nice touch, most people lose their marker within a week.

Simone Giertz recently published a video of her to-do-"list" (contraception?). Looked pretty neat.

[u/Practical_Tea_3378]

Very interested in this sir!

[u/Particular-Amountt]

This is actually smart.

[u/ex_gatito]

Sell it now, I would buy it.

[u/Sketaverse]

What’s the JTBD that isn’t solved with post it notes?

[u/Daymanic]

This is pretty nice, help elevate important out of the noise. Are the blocks color coded for a purpose or do you write on them?

[u/Worth-Biscotti2728]

Where is your keyboard and mouse? It doesn't really looks like there's room with how you have this displayed.

[u/coffee_tortuguita]

That's very nice and ingenious of you (:

[u/fancy_taco17]

I would buy this!!
