Hello 👋

Welcome and thank you for dropping by. I'm so glad to be a part of your Notion journey.

Overview of TaskBox

Ah, task and project management. So simple, yet so hard. I have managed projects involving 20+ people from different organizations. Yet, so far I haven’t come across a fully satisfying working system for managing my personal projects. I've used JIRA, Asana, a physical notebook, a load of spreadsheets, and many others. None can get me to focus in just the way I’m looking for. So I created TaskBox.

What TaskBox is

</aside>

When I say personal, I mean there's only one person working on the project, you. For projects, I mean a set of tasks organized to satisfy certain objectives. And for tasks, I mean meaningful actions that propel you towards the goals of projects.

Example:

Watering the plant is not a task. It's a to-do. But if you have a project titled "Revamping my front yard garden" and "hosing down the garden" is the final step, then "hosing down the garden" is a task. You see? It’s not about any thing you do, but things you do for a long-term objective of creating something new in your life.

Why so strict?

I think most of personal task management disasters came from not having a clear definition of actions (more explanation in the Actions section).

TaskBox is designed to

• Give you a clarity about what is it that you want to accomplish with a project. As well as guide you to deliberately decide whether you should commit to the project or not.
• Help you organize actions. Some actions are so huge, you don't even know how to start. Some actions are just ideas you are not serious about doing. Some actions are urgent, important, and must be done now. TaskBox assists you to think it through and sort all of that out.

I imagine TaskBox to fit perfectly for the following example use cases:

• Students managing class projects.
• Indie entrepreneurs managing their online shops or a simple product launch.
• Hobbyists who manage elaborate side projects.
• Researchers doing projects solo.
