Tasque

Last year I stepped into a demanding UX leadership role. Some weeks were 60–70 hours. What surprised me wasn’t the workload, it was how fragmented the days felt.

I wasn’t burned out from effort. I was burned out from restarting. Figma to Slack to meetings to email and back again. Every switch cost more than I realized.

The problem wasn’t motivation or discipline. It was structure. I needed fewer resets and more continuity.

So I built something for myself. Not a productivity system with streaks and pressure. Just structured work blocks designed to reduce context switching and protect momentum. That became Tasque.

It’s free right now. I’m not optimizing pricing. I’m trying to understand whether this problem is real beyond my own experience.

For those building or working long hours: do you feel this kind of “reset fatigue”? Or is momentum not actually the bottleneck?
