Building the second app in Mindful Suite this weekend. Wanna beta test?

Hey IndieHackers,

As the first app of Mindful Suite, Goals, reaches maturity. I am going to reuse some of the components and build the second app of Mindful Suite, Priorities.

I plan to start today and submit it to app stores by the end of Monday, next week.

It will be a simple app, but, it is not a simple idea. I got this idea a few years ago from Marc Andreessen. It is the best advice I've got on productivity (https://pmarchive.com/guide_to_personal_productivity.html).

Each night before you go to bed, prepare a 3x5 index card with a short list of 3 to 5 things that you will do the next day.
And then, the next day, do those things.

I sit down at my desk before I go to sleep, pull up my Todo List (which I keep in Microsoft Word's outline mode, due to long habit), and pick out the 3 to 5 things I am going to get done tomorrow. I write those things on a fresh 3x5 card, lay the card out with my card keys, and go to bed. Then, the next day, I try like hell to get just those things done. If I do, it was a successful day.

People who have tried lots of productivity porn techniques will tell you that this is one of the most successful techniques they have ever tried.

Once you get into the habit, you start to realize how many days you used to have when you wouldn't get 3 to 5 important/significant/meaningful things done during a day.

Before I learned this simple technique, I used to plan out my big ideas in detail, and then see the plans fall apart in a week. Now, I just focus on what's important for today, instead of dreaming about the successful milestones I would get in 6 months, which never happens as I planned btw.

Now, I want to turn this idea into the simplest app possible. It'll be completely free.
