Want to stay hyper-focused?
Ever think that the app or service you’re using is not what you expected? Well, it’s because they are not ‘hyper-focused’ on what it is they’re trying to solve. So think about it, if you’re using an app or service that isn’t ‘focused’, then how will that affect you while you’re using it?

so have you ever used an app or a
service and then realized why is it so
complicated well that's the topic of
today's video I was using a service and
I found it I thought to myself you know
what it's got all of these functions in
it I think would be fantastic I can
probably get rid of some of my other
pieces of software and I've always find
I've always fall into this trap and I'm
sure other people do too
basically I'm always about hard borders
with my tools and services and apps and
stuff so if I'm using a to-do app I want
the app to be hyper focused on that
specific task so to do apt it does two
deuce my calendar app should only do
calendars my notes app should only do
notes if you have an app and I can name
a bunch of them that I've used over the
years and think I'm going to have one
app and I want everything in it the
problem comes down to that
app because it's not not focused or
hyper focused on a specific function or
a feature it doesn't do things too well
so you kind of end up with this mishmash
of data all over the place not knowing
where should I put you know my data what
I want to want to do but not only that
the app itself doesn't know what's going
on I'm not gonna name names god I want
to but I won't name names because it's
not fair because those apps are great
but I don't think they're focusing the
hyper focused like laser focused on
specific tasks so things like to do it
is a task app and it works fantastically
I just hope they're going to bring new
features and I just hope that they don't
over complicate things things 3 which is
also to do it
to do ab sorry is is actually
hyper-focused it's for the Mac and it
works fantastically but there's some
features that it doesn't have so there's
that there are like on the other sides
of the spectrum but my point is to find
an app a service that have features that
work for you and it's hyper focus for
that specific task in that task alone if
you have an app or a service that
there's so many things you'll find
you'll probably find there's a bunch of
bugs in it and I come across this all
the time but you'll find that it won't
do those specific things - well they'll
do it okay but they're not built for
that specific task at hand so they don't
actually do it too well so again hard
borders between your apps and tools is
just the best way of doing things so I'm
going through my system you should go
through your system as well to see what
you can get rid of what you can what
apps you have that you can think you you
you know I should get another one
because this isn't this got too many
features and I'm never going to use this
so I'd rather get an app that does this
thing and this thing well anyway that's
the video for today I hope you having a
great day I'll see you tomorrow yeah
tomorrow's Friday I'm looking at my
calendar I see you tomorrow have a great
day and keep it simple and remember if
you like this video I would love it if
you would comment share and like it and
also I've created a subscribe page where
I will be so with my email list I've
been just sending emails out willy-nilly
and I need to be hyper focused on my
email list and I'm trying to grow my
email list so if you go to Mac
junkie.com for slash subscribe there is
a page that I've created and I will be
sending emails out every Sunday I
thought about doing it during the week
I think sunday is the perfect day
because I like you to be calm and
relaxed when you're reading my email
I guess anyway have a great day keep it
simple and I'll see you tomorrow ciao
bye bye
