Human Limits

Part of personal growth is finding and respecting our limits. Knowing them and actively working against them is key to operating efficiently and reaching our goals.

When it comes to managing our goals, projects, and tasks in daily life, there’s one limitation that hits everyone: the 5–7 thought limit.

Research shows we can only track or order five to seven items in our working memory at once. Push past that and mental collapse follows.

If you want stress-free productivity, you need a system to manage your focus, and that system should never show you more than five key tasks at once.

For me, that system has been GTD (Getting Things Done) for years. GTD gives you:

• Automatic prioritization

• Filters so you only see tasks you can act on right now

• A reliable “inbox” for dumping ideas until you’re ready to process them

But there’s a catch. GTD is decision-heavy. Micro-decisions pile up, leading to decision fatigue. It also demands a weekly review to process and organize your inbox, which is time-consuming work in itself.

That’s why we built TaskaAI. TaskaAI pushes low-risk micro-decisions to AI, removing the weekly processing chore and avoiding decision fatigue altogether. New tasks are instantly categorized and estimated for you.

The interface focuses on contexts like work, school, or on your phone, and sorts by high value and shorter tasks first so you’re always looking at the most actionable work.
