Have you ever gone to the grocery store without a list? You walk down every aisle, grab whatever looks good, spend way more than you planned — and somehow still get home without the one thing you actually needed.Running a one-person business without a real task capture system feels exactly the same.When everything falls on you, important work slips through the cracks. And without a plan, it's easy to spend your day on something that feels productive instead of something that actually moves the business. (Anyone who's let AI build them a thing they didn't need knows what I mean.)In this one, I'm walking through the three ways I capture tasks now — each one a little more automated than the last:Quick capture — making it stupid easy to get something out of your headSpeech-to-text to sort — why Todoist's Ramble feature replaced an entire Zapier flow for meAutomating task capture with AI agents — pulling tasks out of emails, call summaries, and notes without lifting a fingerIf you've ever said, "If it's important, I'll remember it" — I have bad news.
