Get Shit Done

Procrastination or wasting time have their days numbered. And there are more and more tools to prevent the user from losing attention or motivation due to the task they are doing. This is the case of the application Get Shit Done, whose translation into Spanish would be a rude version of “finish what you are doing”. A tool that wants to motivate the user and prevent them from getting lost in their tasks ordering them and specifying a maximum time for carry them out.

This is a somewhat extreme productivity application. Not because of how it works, which acts as a timer for tasks, but because of its tone Y It's that he seems to behave like a sergeant pissed off with the user to prevent his forces from letting him down with comments that aren't as politically correct as they should be. Of course, you have to understand it with humor, without getting depressed by being called “pussy” (something like babe in English). This being precisely one of its negative points, the lack of translation into Spanish

Just start the application to start writing down the task you want to do without distractions. After passing the first screen, all you have to do is select if you are woman or man, the mission to be carried out and the maximum time that will be invested in it.Afterwards, a new screen appears that allows to subdivide that mission into different easier tasks. In this way the user can be organized and distribute the time so that everything is organized and easier to comply with. After adding the different tasks and ordering them, all that remains is to complete what is the punishment and reward for completing the mission or not.

Despite the authoritative and motivating tone of the application, before starting the task it is possible to select a difficulty level They are distributed in three according to the number of breaks that the user can take, either unlimited, in reference to completed tasks or without no free time It is also possible to specify if there areother more urgent tasks that cannot wait to be able to pause the counter or, conversely, be able to add more time at the end if necessary.With all this, the only thing left to do is to do what must be done, or, in a more rude way, get this shit done!

This is how a counter with the specified time and the mission to be carried out is displayed on the screen In addition, at the bottom there is space for the different tasks that make up the mission, being able to note which of them has been accomplished This offers more rest time to the user if a difficulty level has been allowed that allows them some respite. Once all the tasks and, therefore, the mission have been completed, a congratulations screen rewards to the user. But, if the time has run out before finishing it, the application remembers the punishment it deserves for it All this always taking into account a notification indicating that the application is watching, thus trying to exert moral weight if the user decides to use other applications or waste time.

In short, a fun tool thanks to its authoritative tone, but very simple and direct. The possibility of blocking those functions and applications that can mislead the user in carrying out the mission is missing, so it must be each one who finds the necessary willpower. The good thing is that Get Shit Done can be downloaded free via Google Play, although only for terminals Android
