how to make space for what matters

I’m always on the lookout for new list-making apps that do more than just store your lists. Helpful, productivity-based apps are not always that easy to come by. Which is why I was excited when I first discovered Priorigami.

The founder of the app, Monisha Longacre was inspired by her love of the Fitbit, and brought its goal-driven style to her productivity app. I was so impressed I arranged a video chat with Monisha to discuss her app and how it can help people prioritize their day.

Check out the video here, where we discuss the following:

3:10 – How to stick to your priorities
5:15 – Why completing your list should feel as good as when you complete your 10,000 steps on your Fitbit!
6:45 – How to create a priority system
8:30 – Finding the prioritization method that works best for you
9:00 – The afternoon shuffle up, or why you should always take a moment to re-think your priorities.
10:45 – How to deal with lingering tasks
12:30 – The importance of breaking your lists down into steps
13:20 Monisha’s top tip!
