"In a world of digital distractions, there's something beautifully simple and effective about writing your tasks down with pen and paper."

Tim Ferriss, best-selling author, podcaster and entrepreneur

How it works

  • 1. Start with a new card

    Choose a Today, Upcoming or Blank card to jot down your tasks, notes or ideas for the day.

  • 2. Write down your tasks

    Starting with the most important tasks, write down what you need to get done. Remember to be realistic.

  • 3. Do it or move it

    Using the card signals, mark each task as in-progress, completed, or move it to another day.

Took some getting used to but love it now

At first I found the cards were a little too narrow and I’d have to use 2 lines. However, I actually think it’s a benefit now because it forces you to really simplify your task. It’s such a simple but effective design. Thanks

Nice little tool to help stay focused

Looks really great on my desk and it’s definitely helping me get my daily tasks done. I still use all of my normal software and apps for bigger things but this is amazing for things I need to get done today.

Only reason I’m giving it 4 stars is because it would be nice if they included somewhere to put my pen. Other than that, I really like it and see myself using it for a long time.

Way more productive!!!

This has been great for my productivity. It keeps me accounted and if I need to do something, it’s right in front of me. Quality is great like the little touches like the metal divider and the rounded corners.

FAQs

Why do I need TaskMate when there's hundred's of to-do apps?

TaskMate has many benefits over an app. However, it's also designed to work alongside your digital tools.

Benefits of TaskMate compared to to-do apps:

  1. A distraction-free, tangible experience that can not be replicated by a digital app.
  2. No notifications, calls, emails, etc. getting in the way of your tasks.
  3. No technical issues or software updates.
  4. Paper never runs out of battery.
  5. Research suggests that writing things down by hand can improve memory-retention compared to digitally typing or tapping at a keyboard.
  6. Lastly, there's just something about physically crossing off a task that just feels so good.

What are the different cards used for?

Each pack of task cards contains:

  • 30 x Today cards - for task you're going to do today's
  • 15 x Blank cards - to personalise to your needs, e.g. Meeting notes, Shopping list, Ideas, etc.
  • 5 x Upcoming cards - for tasks you need to do next week, next month, etc.

Plus, on the back of each card you'll find space for notes, ideas, lists or whatever your curious mind needs to jot down.

What if I have more than 10 tasks?

Juggling too many tasks at once can have a have a negative impact on your productivity.

It's impossible to say what's the 'correct' amount of tasks you should do in a day as everyone is unique and has different ways of working. However, we recommend starting with about 4 -6 tasks and seeing how that works for you.

TaskMate cards are designed to fit up to 10 tasks per card. However, if you really need the space to write more tasks, we recommend using the 'Notes' section on the back of the card.

What if I run out of cards?

No problem!

We offer a subscription service so you never run out or forget to order new cards again. If you're not subscribed, or you're just being super productive, you can order new cards here.

Each pack contains 50 cards - this should last you about a month. If you ordered one of our starter kits, you will have received 3 packs which should last you about 3 months.

Do I keep the card once I'm done with it?

We recommend storing the cards on top of the metal divider for reference - in case you need to go back and review something. It's also a nice way of showing how much you've gotten done and motivates you to keep being productive.

If you don't want to keep your cards, do yourself and the planet a favour and recycle.

Where is ThoughtLab based?

As an Australian company, all of our products are packaged and shipped from our Sydney warehouse.

Orders are processed within 1-2 business days and you can expect to receive your order within 3-5 business days depending on your address.

Can I create my own card symbols?

We've created a set of symbols to highlight if a task is:

  1. In-progress
  2. Completed
  3. Moved
  4. A meeting, event or appointment

However, it's completely up to you if you wish to use these or create your own. You can even create symbols for tasks specific to your needs like a Pull Request if you're a developer or Editing if you're a photographer.
