Introduction to RightNow: A Capacity-First Productivity App

Welcome to RightNow, a revolutionary approach to task management that puts your daily capacity first. Unlike traditional to-do apps that let you pile on endless tasks, RightNow helps you plan realistic, achievable days by enforcing time-based constraints.

The Problem with Traditional Task Management

We’ve all been there - starting the day with an ambitious to-do list, only to end it feeling frustrated and overwhelmed. Traditional task managers encourage us to add everything we can think of, creating lists that are impossible to complete in a single day. This leads to:

• Chronic overwhelm from unrealistic daily goals
• Decision fatigue from too many choices
• Guilt and stress from unfinished tasks
• Poor time estimation without feedback loops

The RightNow Solution

RightNow takes a fundamentally different approach: capacity-first planning. Instead of asking “What do I need to do?”, we ask “How much time do I actually have today?”

Core Philosophy

1. Time is finite - Every day has a limited number of productive hours
2. Realistic planning - Only schedule what you can actually accomplish
3. Immediate feedback - Know instantly if you’re overcommitting
4. Focus on today - Prioritize what matters right now

Key Features That Make the Difference

Why RightNow Works

RightNow succeeds where other apps fail because it:

2. Provides immediate feedback - See capacity impact before committing
3. Learns from your behavior - Improves estimates based on actual completion times
4. Focuses on execution - Today’s tasks are front and center
5. Respects your time - No feature bloat or complicated workflows
