last week i was "working" on 5 things and i was completely overwhelmed to the point that i literally didn't know what to do. i did use ai chatting apps (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc..) and explained to them what i have in my mind but they didn't help me the way i wanted to, idk but they all seem to have a setting or something that makes them act as motivational speakers when they detect that you are overwhelmed (i even tried specific prompts guiding them to not act this way, but didn't help) so, i thought why don't i just make the tool that will fix my exact problem? and i made ToNotDo, a one-page site where you dump what's in your mind in the text area and get a list of thing NOT to do with reasons and explanation, then what's not mentioned in the list is the thing that you should work on right now.
you can try it at tonotdo.cc just note that: it's a paid tool ($1 per generation), it uses ai, the result has a list of what not to do (categorized as: postpone, ignore, revisit later, drop) and a "Why This List Makes Sense" block and a "Remember" block (a personalized wise quate, i thought it's nice to have lol)
