Like many developers, I always had too many goals, plans, and ideas. But in the chaos of endless thoughts, it was hard to focus — hard to take that first step and start.
So many ideas would only lead to stress, confusion, and paralysis. How to combine them all? Where to begin? Most of them got postponed — some forever.

This wasn’t about everyday tasks or Jira tickets. work, it’s clear what needs to be done — and if not, someone will (gently or not so gently) remind you.
This was about something more personal. Dreams I’ve had for years, quietly buried under the dust of "not now", "maybe later", or "I’m too busy anyway".

One night, lying in bed — half-awake, half-listening to the whir of passing drones or sudden buzzing transformers — it hit me: that’s the time.
I usually sleep like a rock, but that night I was wide awake.
I realised: there’s no perfect moment. You should start. That’s how this idea was born. Not a startup, not a course, not a new business — just a tool. Something I needed.

Because I want to learn Spanish, read 10 books, plan a trip, build something new, stay active... and it all just spins in my mind endlessly. So — pause. Stop.

So I built Tsilovo: A Minimalist Goal & Task Planner
I needed something that would:

• Limit goals — 5 at a time max
• Focus on progress, not perfection
• Let me track daily tasks tied to goals
• Give** weekly and yearly insights**
• Be lightweight, visual, and intuitive

And because I’m a developer, of course, I built it myself 😄

⚙️ Built With:

• Frontend: Next.js, TypeScript, React Query
• Backend: NestJS, MongoDB + Typegoose, JWT Auth, Google OAuth
• Extras: i18n (EN/UA), light/dark themes, email notifications, drag & drop

→ Full tech stack & source code here → GitHub
→ Try the live demo → tsilovo.vercel.app

It’s not perfect, but it works for me. Some days I don’t finish all my tasks, but if I complete even one meaningful step toward a goal, I win. And one day, maybe I’ll finally say: Hola, hablo bien español. 🌱

❤️ Thanks for reading — and if this resonates with you, feel free to try it or fork it. Sometimes the smallest tools can lead to the biggest clarity.
