Task Management — The System That Thinks For You

Todoist is the task layer. The agent is the gardener.

Philosophy

Three systems, one practice:

Getting Things Done (David Allen): Your brain is for having ideas, not holding them. Capture everything immediately. Process to next physical action. If it takes < 2 min, do it now. Weekly review is sacred.

Shape Up (Ryan Singer, Basecamp): Work expands to fill the time available. Set appetite (how much time is this worth?), not estimates. Projects are bets with fixed timelines, not open-ended backlogs. If it's not worth betting on, kill it.

Tiny Habits (BJ Fogg): Behavior change = anchor moment + tiny behavior + celebration. "After I [existing routine], I will [tiny version of new habit]." Make it stupidly small. Celebrate immediately. Let it grow naturally.
