To obtain a balance between tasks and time

Issues Faced :

In the current time of information overflow neither lack of opportunities nor resources are there but what we lack is in managing our time to utilize these things. We have to perform multiple tasks in a day. Taking an example of students- they need to complete their assignments on time, give quizzes, explore different domains of their interest, attend college events and many more things are there. To accomplish multiple tasks, we require multiple platforms, while hopping from one to another high chances of missing out one or the other thing is there. Slipping out of some of the important tasks from our minds may lead to disasters.

After deciding what is to be done the task must be performed with at most concentration to get the best output in a limited time but with popping notifications it is really difficult to do so. Just dedication and concentration do not guarantees accomplishment of the task we may get stuck in between which may lower the motivation and willingness to continue with the job.

Just dedication and concentration do not guarantees accomplishment of the task we may get stuck in between which may lower the motivation and willingness to continue with the job.

Hence failing in planning our day and executing the planned things in the right way may prevent us from utilizing our full potential.

Solution :

Here we are with a platform to help one out in managing and performing tasks and to bring a balance between time and task.

• Section to create a to-do list to plan our day.
• Reminder section where one can add reminders for time-bounded tasks.
• To keep pace with the time we have a Pomodoro section where the user can set the timer of the specified time within which the work is to be done and analyze his/her speed.
• Community section where one can join groups of one's interest and get his/her task-related doubts resolved there. This mutual helping will motivate to keep learning and going
• In each community, an announcement area is also there where community-related announcements made can be received and can be directly added to the reminder list.
