Someone has recommended to me Intend

For now, I am very happy with taskwarrior, it allows me to sort what I need to do on a given day, that I use flexibly to decide what I want to work on (I don't work on the task with highest priority).

It also seems to me, from a very crude perspective, that intend seems exactly in the kind of self-help memetic "just change your frame of view and be changed forever" that I am extremely skeptical of (I do not believe in memetic/psychological self-help much)

I'm thinking about giving it a fair try. I think one week should be enough to see how much I am vibing with it. If you disagree and think I should spend more time on it, feel free to persuade me in the comments


The market closes when I start the week trying intend. If I am not going to give intend a try, I will N/A this market. I will not bet in this market. At market resolution (one week after close), I will pick the closer option to how I feel. You are free to suggest others. I intend to pick only one (defering to earlier options), but if there are orthogonality in some suggestions, I will split them according to how strong I feel for each.

Have been using it with friends for quite a while now. Setting goals was very nice, and helped me frame things better. By far the biggest advantage of intend is how easy it is to communicate about my day, current goal, and have accountability with friends.

That said, I would not really see value in using it daily if not for that, and I have not found it very useful by itself. Might give it a try again at one point

I'm going to test it at least two weeks, probably four. Is it okay to keep the market open for the first, considering the different time frame?

@epiphanie_gedeon Yes absolutely! Keeping it open vs. closing it is definitely up to you!

hmm maybe I'll give this a try. how long have you been using task warrior? if you're happy with it, what motivation do you have to try something else?

asking just as much for the purpose of this market as for myself in deciding which (if either) to try for myself 😅

@shankypanky I've been trying intend for three days now. Need to see how it fares when I'm high volition. I think it might be good as a tool to remind me of some general goals I might forget, but I don't know if it helps as long as I am in it?

> if you're happy with it, what motivation do you have to try something else?

Mainly because I want to see if some configuration works better for me, and trying to see some module I might have missed. My friend seems very happy with Intend, so I was curious

> how long have you been using task warrior?
A month, though I kinda abandonned it due to health issues which are now solved, I think I'm going to remake/prune it. Definitely the biggest failure mode with any kind of todo-list system is issue bankrupcy, but I really like the fact I can use it as small reminders to organize myself, like small commitment to friends or something I want to think about. It is very useless for motivation though.

For now, I'm liking Intend goal system, but I think I might just replicate some aspects of it on task instead, $10/month seems pricey (though I might cash out for it because of its accountability buddy feature). Both are very compatible in any case.

> asking just as much for the purpose of this market

Very sorry about that then, since I said I should close the market when I first start it >> . Upon reflexion, I might have wanted to keep it open for the first week.

As for taskwarrior (I specifically use taskwarrior-tui), I love the automatic sorting, it makes it great to sort swiftly through it, as well as contexts/filters. One thing I really like to do is to set up some wait-time for a task I want to recall later

I realize I should have put only one option available. Should I n/a and redo 🤔 ?

@epiphanie_gedeon Anyone can add answers, so I don't really see it matter that strongly.

@__nobody Well, the thing is only one will be picked, so it doesn't balance out neatly when you bet (or allow you to bet other)
