Tired of productivity systems that fall apart when life gets chaotic? Suanpan uses a simple visual approach inspired by the ancient abacus.

THE PROBLEM >> Every task feels urgent. Every priority system fails when real life happens. You spend more time organizing tasks than completing them.

THE SOLUTION>> Three columns: Work, Family, Self. Position tasks top to bottom by importance. Work your way down each column. No priority labels, no decision fatigue—just visual clarity when everything feels urgent.

HOW IT WORKS
- Create three life areas that actually matter to you
- Position tasks by dragging them up or down within each column
- Work from top to bottom, left to right
- Reposition tasks when priorities shift (and they will)

WHY IT WORKS
- Visual: See what matters most at a glance
- Flexible: Drag and drop to reorder instantly
- Contextual: Work tasks compete with work tasks, not family emergencies
- Simple: No complex rules to remember when you're overwhelmed

PERFECT FOR
- Founders juggling multiple priorities
- Parents managing work-life chaos
- Anyone who's tried every productivity system and failed
- People who think better visually than with abstract priority levels

THE INSPIRATION
Spotted my daughter's abacus during another overwhelming late-night task session. What if tasks worked like beads? Position matters more than labels. Same task, different position, different value.

Suanpan combines todo simplicity with Eisenhower prioritization, presented as an abacus. The result? Task management so intuitive, your kid could organize your life.
