Managing multiple projects with different contexts is my biggest pain point. I run several side projects and consulting work simultaneously, and the constant context-switching kills productivity.
The specific problems:
- Scattered tasks across tools - Some things live in GitHub issues, others in notes, others in my head
- No clear "what should I work on right now" - When I sit down to work, I waste 10-15 minutes figuring out where I left off
- Losing track of the big picture - Easy to get lost in details and forget project goals
I got frustrated enough that I built my own tool (t0ggles.com) to solve this - basically a kanban + multi-project dashboard that lets me see everything in one place and quickly switch contexts. Still iterating on it based on my own daily use.
What's your situation - are you building something or just researching pain points?
