ABOUT THIS VIDEO
I posted in the community how I remove friction from my productivity system, in my self-built app. What I share here works for any productivity system: let AI analyze what you use today and find the friction points in your workflows. It works if you use a combination of tools, your own tools or just one tool.
The first thing is to know your workflows. Do you know where to look up information? Where do you get stuck? Write down the tools you already use with the ICOR framework, share that with AI and ask it to look at how you set things up. My own all-in-one app mixed too many types of content and fields, and the AI audit showed it.
Building your own app is not recommended if you are just getting started. Look at what bothers you first. Maybe you only need to build one small thing that removes one friction point, like quick capture.
Then I show the report: how the AI measured my workflows, a simulated day in the life of a made-up user with mock data (and where it failed), the before and after of my planner, and the plan it wrote. The app took about five days, on the normal Claude subscription. And why I would not replicate Todoist just to avoid a subscription.
