Why task/time management apps don’t work out for individuals

Summary from my blog post https://www.confluo.app/post/why-task-management-apps-don-t-work-out-for-individuals Below are four key reasons, behind why all the task management apps for individuals fail to work: - Lack of commitment - No sense of encouragement - Shallow/abstract rewards - Excitement https://confluo.app addresses the above with: - Shareable task highlights: you feel more committed when you let your followers know what you're working on - User engagement: As others 'support' the highlights you feel encouraged. - Skills: As you add events to calendar the associated skills get added to your profile automatically, serving as a concrete reward. - Social networking: finding and connecting with other users and interacting with their highlights keep the app fun and engaging.
