Here you only get the first step. In the Hindigo app, the next step appears as soon as this one is done, all the way to the end of the task, calibrated to your current energy.
Discover the appWhy such a tiny step?
When a task is stuck, it’s rarely because you don’t know what to do. It’s the start that jams: the task feels too big, too vague, too loaded.
A tiny, almost silly first step gets around that block. It needs no motivation and no plan. Once you’ve started, carrying on is often easier than starting.
Examples of first steps
Write my thesis introduction
→ Open a blank document and type the word “Introduction”.
Clean the kitchen
→ Pick up one piece of trash and throw it away.
Call the doctor for an appointment
→ Open your doctor’s contact on your phone.
Do my taxes
→ Open the tax website in a tab. Just open it.
FAQ
How do I know where to start a task?
Look for the smallest possible action that moves you toward the task: open, put down, pick up, type one word. Not “start the report”, but “open the file”. This tool finds it for you when you’re stuck.
Is this an ADHD test or diagnosis?
No. It’s a practical tool to start a task. It doesn’t diagnose anything and doesn’t replace a healthcare professional.
Is what I type saved?
No. The text is only used to generate the step, then forgotten. Only an anonymous counter limits the number of attempts per hour.
How is this different from the Hindigo app?
The tool only gives the first step. The app gives the next ones, step by step, remembers where you left off, and adapts each step to your current energy.
