does this work

vocal rivet
#

Yeah

#

You did it right

#

Feel free to edit the title, it takes it from the first message

eternal belfry
#

yea this is it

#

and no not free labor hahaha i'm actually wanting people to use it and give it away to them

#

i built a notiontemplate to organize things .... but i plan on giving it away as a part of my newsletter to encourage organization and optimization

vocal rivet
#

Ok so your use case is pretty evident from the outset, I guess I'm wondering if you're aiming at a general audience or to people who have a broad problem with organisation

#

The thing is that whilst the organisation method is logical, not everyone finds it easier to describe the things they are working on or group things into themes themselves

# vocal rivet Ok so your use case is pretty evident from the outset, I guess I'm wondering if ...

more so a productivity suite i know i can't for the life of me remember anything.. so i found that little para tool and then built this thing to organize around it ... but i now use it for work school and everythin inbetween and was like hey other people might like this. I can give it away as a free product with my newsletter so others can have it - before i start reviewing and promoting affilaite products

#

So if I was to write 100 tasks, an AI can probably notice themes and suggest projects from that

#

yeah its familiar to me because I work in a Kanban format

#

Just wondering how you can make it approachable to people who don't have direct experience of agile or may have difficulty noticing themes

#

There's some deeper things you could probably do if you're making assistive tech like this

eternal belfry
#

this is the basic version i'm giving away

vocal rivet
#

For example, one valuable thing in agile is to define the problem fully before making a solution

eternal belfry
#

i have another one with SOPs that tie it to make so it handles recurring tasks

vocal rivet
#

So you could try to collect a problem statement and then link it to solutions for people

eternal belfry
#

thats not a bad idea either

vocal rivet
#

Because really "task" is step 2

#

Problem: I have no food in the fridge
Task: Go shopping

eternal belfry
#

but yea the problem statement in this case is nobody can remember where the heck they kept a note on whatever - so like for example in mine every service i use at the house lawn care, plumbing, electric whatever i have the naems and contacts of those people saved under that "area"

vocal rivet
#

Obviously people aren't so stupid that they can't work that out but you could write in something about something less common like "my sink is leaking" and someone stressed out about it could see it broken down into small tasks

eternal belfry
#

so i can just tap home and everything related to the house is there

#

Ruining ur private thread because I can. Hi nerds. OK bye nerds

vocal rivet
#

Like "put a bucket under where the water is leaking" and "visit this site to book a plumber visit"

#

lol so cool tool but i gotta get the right audiance?

vocal rivet
#

Well write a user story

eternal belfry
#

long term i wanna get into affiliate marketing for specific tools and doing tool reviews - notion is one i wanna get on so i'm like hey i can give this away for free and people may sign up for notion - paid and notion will in turn pay me

vocal rivet
#

As a BLANK I need a digital tool that can keep track of notes I made about tasks, so taht I can refer back to them without losing some of the notes

#

I think if you define the user better, you can ask the important questions about usability

#

Because this may be aimed at people with noticeable issues with organisation, timekeeping, memory

#

Or it could just be for Joe Average

eternal belfry
#

that is fair

#

i appreciate that feedback - i'm really aiming for a group of people who want to use different tools to be more productive

#

so far as layout goes though does this seem like something that people could find value from

#

and easy enough to understand based on how i have it built

vocal rivet
#

I think the tool would become a much more compelling thing if it took inputs in the form of asking "Hello, what issue are you having right now?" and then evaluated the issue, came up with solutions, asked you if they'd work, then put the solutions on a task list with a reference back to the issue that was chatted about

#

You'd probably want to have a very structured response format though

#

Predictable enough to populate a database with the outputs

eternal belfry
#

thats integrated into the tool itself this is a boiler template for easy organization - however because i'm workign within the confinds of notion that i can not do

vocal rivet
#

The thing is that for someone who's naturally bad at organisation, a planner can be overwhelming no matter what format its in

#

Plus other people who are naturally anxious just tend to focus exclusively on the problem, ruminating on the fact that they have a problem, and never think about solutions

#

Someone else has to do the work of suggesting those

#

I appreciate you might not want to make it so complex, but I think if you tried to build around the problem > solution hook and made it so that the contents of the notes, tasks, projects and resources fields were all interlinked automatically, that would work well

#

Because a project is basically an epic that groups up a variety of tasks, surely

eternal belfry
#

Yea that would work really well I may have to update this some

Lol, I don't like spamming the main thread either, if I wanted to hide it I'd probably just DM Trent
