Title: Undone.
Authors: Thompson, Clive (AUTHOR)
Source: Wired. Sep2021, Vol. 29 Issue 9, p68-75. 8p. 5 Cartoon or Caricatures.
Subjects: Interruption (Psychology), Food recall, Software productivity, Business development
Abstract: Every one of these apps attempts to handle the same kind of basic actions: Give people a way to write down tasks, like "Get milk" or "Finish the sales memo", and offer tools to sort and prioritize those tasks. The tasks you so diligently enter into your fancy app or productivity method linger for days or weeks or months (or even longer - one colleague recently told me his to-do app has undone tasks from 2019). Digital apps make it easy to add more tasks to the pile, and it feels good to get tasks out of our Zeigarnicized heads. FEATURES Write my tasks BACK IN 2010, WALTER CHEN AND Rodrigo Guzman had a weird idea: a website where you write down the stuff you accomplished that day, and which then emails you a summary.
