Staicky - stacking tasks with priority, intelligently

Staicky - stacking tasks with priority, intelligently

Staicky is a representation of a stack, which is, for me, one of the best ways to represent tasks. Humans are capable of solving one problem at a time, but they need to know when and on what they need to put their focus and attention.

The hardest point about focusing on a single task is that in our world, there is never a moment when we don’t think about something else, which distracts us from keeping our focus. This is pretty normal.

Let me illustrate with a simple example:
You're focused on a math problem, let’s say a highly complex equation: x - 1 = 0. Even if this looks terrifying and you want to focus on solving it, you might think about – "Oh my, I should get my laundry done, get some groceries, and I should call my mum for the dinner we’re planning next week." So before you manage to focus, you create three additional tasks in addition to your focus on solving the problem.

Now, if we shift back to solving our original problem, the equation of math terror, we might forget our newly remembered tasks... The solution is to throw them onto your stack: Staicky, and it will prioritize them for you in terms of time constraints such as immediate, today, tomorrow, this week, or just get it done. The stack will reorganize and remind you of your tasks.

Oh, and by the way, there could be an abyss stack – tasks that have long been in your main stack, are not so important, and will be moved into the abyss 😇.
