Don't drown in your own to-dos
The process-driven Task Manager
A calmer way to get things done — without the guilt.
You’ve tried every task manager.
You color-coded, prioritized, categorized.
But over time, your to-do list became a wall of shame — a reminder of everything you didn’t do.
Three Daily Goals is built for people who’ve had enough of productivity pressure.
It helps you focus on what truly matters, and gently lets go of what doesn’t.
“Finally, a task manager that doesn’t make me feel behind. I actually look forward to opening it.” — Lena, designer
How it works
- Three goals a day. Each day, choose three meaningful tasks — your daily wins.
- Compass Check. A short daily reflection that helps you pick your next goals and keep your direction.
- No more clutter. Tasks you ignore for too long are moved to the graveyard — out of sight, out of guilt.
- A streak that feels good. Every day you do a Compass Check, your streak grows — a small reward for staying present.
“I stopped using every productivity app because they made me anxious. Three Daily Goals feels like a deep breath.” — Tom, developer
Why it works
Most tools treat tasks like a bucket you must empty. Real life is a river — it keeps flowing.
Three Daily Goals embraces the river:
- You pick three meaningful wins for the next day/today.
- Stale items flow out to the graveyard after 30 days (you can revive anytime).
- You keep momentum without the guilt of an ever-growing bucket.
This reframes your to-dos from “finish everything” to “choose wisely and keep moving.”

“I get more done with less effort — but more importantly, I feel lighter. My list doesn’t own me anymore.” — Sara, researcher
