Unitasking, aka monotasking, means focusing on one job, project, or goal at a time, completing that task, and moving on to the next one. Thus, it's the opposite of multi-tasking.
Unitaskr is a simple productivity tool that allows you to set tasks you want to perform, just for today, and a time when you want to start performing them, then it alerts you when it's time to move to the next task.
Fans of the Pomodoro Technique could find unitaskr an alternative to using paper and egg-timers.
It's very easy to get caught up in one task so much that you lose track of time and never end up getting to all the tasks on your todo list. Unitaskr aims to solve this problem.
The interface is designed to allow you to quickly enter new tasks, and optional notes about them.
Manually starting the timer between each task allows you to take as long of a break between tasks as you want.
You'll need to enable popups for unitaskr to be able to alert you. Unitaskr doesn't use cookies, so if you refresh the page you will restart the program.
Tip: Time management studies show that it's best to take care of as many small, quick-to-do, tasks as possible right away--such as writing quick emails and starting the dishwasher--that way, you can completely forget about these things, rather think constantly thinking about them the rest of the day, thus decreasing stress and improving concentration.
Enter the first task to do.
Enter the amount of time to spend doing the current task before being alerted when it's time to do the next task.
