A NEW Companion App - Rad Day!

Benjamin Franklin famously started each day asking himself, "What good shall I do this day?" and then finished each day asking himself, "What good have I done today?".

Let's say Bill and Ted kidnapped him, brought him to the 1980's, and left him there to learn the culture. Then let's say old Ben tried his hand at software development in the 2020's. Would he create the Rad Day app?

I like to think so.

Rad Day is the spirit of Benjamin Franklin in a daily goal setting app the draws deep from the culture of the 1980s and 1990s.

Each morning you are asked by the app "What would it take to make today rad?"

"Rad" as in totally radical, or as in awesome, or even bodacious! Or, "RAD" as in "Rise And Do..." ...something epic with your day.

Add a short list of those goals that you can achieve in a day, that would be day-changing, life-changing, or make-it-easy-to-sleep-at-night types of goals. The big stuff. 

Trying to create a new habit? Let's do it! One rad day at a time.

If you don't get it done in one day, it will automatically roll over to the next day and you can include it tomorrow.

Feeling a bit lazy? What if something happened that would make your day rad, but it was out of your control? You won the lottery. You got the job. The girl or boy called back. Add those as "wishful" goals for the day. 

My dude, or dudette, you need something to look forward to every day. 

Life is great, but it has its bumps. It's full of routines. You can easily forget your purpose, your mission, your carpe diem.

That is Rad Day's only goal. To make sure you try and make each day awesome. 

At the end of each day you'll be asked to "Call it a Day". This is your daily journal of sorts. It's your vibes at the end of the day.

The app will suggest a mood based on the goals you checked off. But you can change it. You do you. Choose from Gnarly, Chill, Cool, or Rad. Add a few thoughts to reflect on later in life and close it out.

Rad Day also has streaks to encourage consistency. Stats to look back on your peak days. And achievements to reward you for going for it each and every day.

Last thing before you go...

There are some secret achievements in Rad Day. Little Easter eggs to keep the moods and vibes up. Will you uncover them? Will you share them? Will you keep it a secret?

Welcome to Rad Day. Hope it changes your life!

The Genesis of Whenable: From Startup Scramble to Your Pocket-Sized Powerhouse

Image
Whenable. The name itself hints at possibility, at seizing the moment. But how did this seemingly unique concept – a to-do list that intuitively auto-prioritizes your tasks into a personalized roadmap – actually come to life? Was it a sudden spark of whimsical inspiration? Or perhaps, was it forged in the fires of real-world challenges, grounded in best practices and maybe even a dog-eared page from a well-loved book? Let me tell you, the journey from a nascent idea to the app gracing your phone screen was anything but a straight line. It was a winding path, paved with lessons learned and fueled by a desire to solve a very real problem. The Accidental Architect Let's go back in time about a decade. Picture this: I was a seasoned Software Engineer, venturing into the uncharted territory of Product Management at a buzzing startup. Just a month into this new role, BAM! I was tasked with creating their very first product roadmap. Talk about a trial by fire! I felt like an explorer drop...

The Word Product is in Productivity

Image
Ok sure, the words "product", "produce", "productive", and "productivity" are all related, and all contain the word product in them. So why pick just two to highlight? The TL;DR is because if you ran your todo list the same way a Product Manager at a software company might, you'll find you are much more productive. And, probably happier since you would be doing the more valuable work first, and not necessarily the easiest (which I'm guilty of too). A Product Manager's main focus is to prioritize the backlog in such a way that it creates the biggest return on investment for the software company. Investment could be money, but most often it is time. Software Engineering time. With AI, this has changed a little bit. One talented developer and an AI copilot can now do about the same work as a 4-5 person team did just a decade ago. But this isn't about AI. So let's get back to Product Management. How does a Product Manager prioriti...
