Think about what a Pomodoro timer does in a moment of I-don’t-feel-like-doing-anything. It dissolves the sense that the task demands forever from you and replaces it with clear boundaries. (Almost anything is endurable when you know when it ends.)
From a different angle, crossing items off a to-do list produces another effect entirely: the sense that progress is being made.
By combining a timer with a list of tasks to cross off, Routinery eases entry into starting tasks and sustains the feeling of forward movement once you do.
By combining a timer with a list of tasks to cross off, Routinery eases entry into starting tasks and sustains the feeling of forward movement once you do.
Where it shines most is in giving rise to the carrying out of tasks that are important but rarely urgent: exercise, organisation, upkeep, initiation of deep-work, etc. Tasks that rely heavily on continuity.
Routinery is a spinner of continuity.
Recall: continuity is a measure of the reapplication of effort and attention you bring to an endeavour over time; an antidote to not doing the things you say you'll do.
As crossover into 2026 approaches, Routinery is worthy of celebration because it brings into effect the doing of things you feel you 'ought' and want to be doing. With the air now thick with reflections and resolutions, Routinery is a remarkable addition to you arsenal for spinning I should/want-to/ought-to do into done.
