I went back to a paper task list after cycling through Todoist, Things and Notion.

The apps worked fine. The problem was that they made adding and reorganizing tasks effortless, and for me that low friction was the actual problem.

Zero friction to add meant every half-formed idea went straight onto the list. It ballooned to 200 items and stopped meaning anything. Zero friction to reorganize meant I'd spend twenty minutes moving tasks between three views and call it productive.

Paper fixed both by being annoying on purpose. Writing something down takes effort, so only things that matter make it onto the page. Reorganizing means rewriting the list, so I leave it alone and do the work.

I'm not saying digital tools are bad. The lesson is narrower: less friction isn't always better. Sometimes friction is a feature you only notice once it's gone.

1/ Why I went back to paper for my task list after Todoist, Things and Notion:

2/ The apps worked. They just made adding and reorganizing tasks frictionless, and that turned out to be my problem.

3/ No friction to add: every half-formed idea went on the list, it hit 200 items, and the list stopped meaning anything.

4/ No friction to reorganize: I once spent twenty minutes moving tasks between three views and called it productive.

5/ Paper is annoying on purpose. Writing is a filter, and rewriting the list is enough of a pain that I just do the tasks.

6/ Digital tools aren't bad. But less friction isn't always better. Sometimes friction is doing useful work. Full post: [link]

Subject: I quit task apps for paper
Preview: The apps worked fine. The low friction was the problem.

After Todoist, Things and Notion, I'm back on a paper list, and the reason is a little boring: frictionless adding turned my list into a 200-item junk drawer, and frictionless reorganizing ate my time. Here's why paper's built-in friction fixed both: [link]

200 items on my task list, and none of them meant anything.

That's what zero friction did. Paper fixed it by being annoying on purpose: if it's worth writing down, it's worth doing, and rewriting the list is enough hassle that I just do the work instead.

Would you go back to paper? The whole story is in the bio link.

Short-form video script (45s target, 101 words)

I tried Todoist, Things, Notion, the whole rotation, and went back to paper. Not because the apps were broken. They worked fine. The problem was they made everything frictionless. Adding a task cost nothing, so every half-formed idea went on the list, and it ballooned to 200 items that meant nothing. Reorganizing cost nothing, so I'd spend twenty minutes shuffling tasks between three views and call it productive. Paper is annoying on purpose. Writing something down is a filter. Rewriting the list is a hassle, so you just do the tasks. Less friction isn't always better. Sometimes friction is the feature.
