Simple Tool, Maximum Progress

Most “productivity” tools have one problem: take something simple and turn it into a second job.

You start with one goal—learn a skill, start a project, change careers, finish the thing you keep “researching”—and suddenly you’re managing:

• timelines

• statuses

• comments

• subtasks

• color-coded feelings

• and a dashboard that looks like an aircraft cockpit

Congrats. You’re now the project manager of your own procrastination.

Castawaze exists because I wanted the opposite: a place to keep life plans clear, quiet, and brutally obvious. Not “look at me” productive. Actually productive.

Simplicity is the strategy.

When your tool offers 47 ways to track a task, you’ll spend 46 of them avoiding the task.

Because most of the time you don’t need a gantt chart. You need to know:

• What am I doing next?

• Where are resources?

• What do I want to remember?

That’s it.

The point isn’t to brag. It’s to aim.

A lot of “professional” tools quietly push you toward performance art.

They nudge you into building a museum of your past, carefully lit for maximum admiration.

And sure, past accomplishments matter. But if your whole system is built around documenting what you already did, it becomes weirdly easy to stop building what you want to do next.

Castawaze is more “compass” than “trophy case.”

Enter: the Compass Board

A Compass Board is for people who are going somewhere.

You can add:

• the jobs you want

• the skills you’re building

• the projects that’ll get you there

Or if you want to highlight your past experiences and call it a resumé… go for it. But the default setting here is forward motion.

The vibe is:
“Here’s where I’m headed. Here’s what I’m doing about it.”

Not:
“Please clap for 2017.”

The philosophy: simple tool, maximum progress

It’s not a social network. It’s not a team platform. It’s not a “look how busy I am” machine.

It’s a personal journey tracker.

Let’s keep it simple.
