Accountability, not efficiency

Accountability for the mundane tasks.

The boring stuff still has to get done. Shirkl keeps a plain record of every recurring task, whether it was done, late or overdue, so no one gets to quietly skip it.

SK-01What it is

Shirkl isn't here to make you faster or better. It's here to make the repetitive stuff less painful, by putting it on a record you can't ignore.

You set a task that repeats. You say who's on the hook. Each time it comes round, it gets marked done, or it sits there unmarked, on the record, forever.

SK-02The record

Every cycle ends up one colour, and it stays that way.

  • DoneFinished on time.
  • Done, lateFinished, but after the deadline.
  • PendingNot done yet. The clock is running.
  • OverdueMissed. It stays on the record.

No streaks to break. No badges to earn. Just the truth, kept.

SK-04How it works
  1. 1Name a recurring task, and say how often it repeats.
  2. 2Add the people on the hook, by email.
  3. 3Pick a rule: everyone must do it (AND), or any one person is enough (OR).
  4. 4Each cycle, mark it done, or don't.
  5. 5The record is permanent. Shirkl never reminds you.

The boring stuff, on the record

Put the mundane tasks somewhere you can't ignore.
