What problems do you have at your job / startup / side project?

It is Tuesday and I am looking for real problems to solve.

I am looking for general insights like: - task planning - focus management - email workflows — customer relationships management — streamlining the processes to get paid / reduce friction etc

Feel free to share specific details that come to mind. Thanks in advance.

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?

Do you mind telling me more?
