The Struggle for Focus

For a long time, I struggled to stay focused on my learning journey. Like many others, I wanted to acquire new skills, plan my projects effectively, and have a clear path to success. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't find a system that worked for me. My efforts often felt scattered, and I lacked a structured way to visualize my goals and the steps needed to achieve them.

The Search for a Solution

I tried various tools like Notion, Trello, and to-do list apps. While they are powerful in their own ways, they didn't meet my needs. Notion, for instance, felt overwhelming with its complexity and lack of clarity. Trello and other apps offered flexibility but didn't give me the visual timeline or roadmap I craved. Instead of helping me focus, these tools often left me distracted by too many options and features.

Discovering "The One Thing"

Everything changed when I stumbled upon the book "The One Thing" by Gary Keller. The core idea of focusing on one thing at a time with a clear timeline resonated deeply with me. It emphasized breaking down a goal into manageable steps—what I wanted to achieve monthly, weekly, and daily. This approach gave me the clarity and structure I had been searching for.

The Birth of onepin

Inspired by the concepts in the book, I decided to create onepin, a tool designed to help people focus on a single goal within a fixed timeframe, typically six months. onepin allows users to:

  • Pick one clear goal.
  • Break the goal into monthly milestones.
  • Define weekly tasks and subjects to stay on track.
  • Visualize progress through a timeline that's simple and easy to follow.

Why onepin?

I built onepin because I couldn't find a tool that met my needs. It's a solution born out of personal struggle and a desire to help others overcome the same challenges. With onepin, you can:

  • Stay focused on your "one thing".
  • Align your goals with a clear timeline.
  • Avoid the overwhelm of unnecessary features.

This is my story—a journey from distraction to clarity, from scattered efforts to focused action. onepin is more than just a tool; it's a philosophy and a way to achieve what truly matters.
