The Concept

Traditional task managers treat work as emotionless. Check boxes, set deadlines, move on. But that's not how humans function.

As a neurodivergent person with ADHD traits and autistic features, I've always struggled with traditional productivity systems. They track tasks, but not how those tasks affect you. I built To-Do Emote because I needed a way to put things in order and understand how my work affects my energy and emotions. I realized I'm probably not the only one. So I decided to share it.

Every task carries emotional weight - some energize us, others drain us, and patterns emerge that we often don't notice until burnout hits.

  • Which types of work consistently drain your energy
  • When you're most productive and in what emotional states
  • Hidden patterns between task categories and your wellbeing
  • Early warning signs of burnout before it becomes critical

My Machine Learning algorithms analyze these patterns, finding correlations humans miss. All processing happens locally on your device - your emotional data is deeply personal and stays private.

Why Emotional Awareness Matters

Prevent Burnout

Burnout doesn't happen overnight. By tracking emotional trends, you spot warning signs weeks before crisis hits.

Optimize Energy

Learn which tasks energize you and schedule them strategically. Batch draining tasks when you're strongest.

Self-Knowledge

Understand yourself better. Discover unconscious patterns in how different work affects your wellbeing.

Better Decisions

Make career and project choices based on data about what actually makes you thrive, not just what pays well.

Who It's For

To-Do Emote is designed for anyone who wants to work smarter by understanding their emotional patterns. Especially valuable for:

Knowledge Workers

Writers, developers, analysts, researchers - people who do mentally demanding work and feel emotional exhaustion more than physical fatigue.

Neurodivergent Individuals

People with ADHD, autism, or other neurodivergent traits who benefit from explicit emotion tracking and pattern visualization.

Freelancers & Entrepreneurs

Solo workers managing their own schedules who need to understand which clients/projects affect their wellbeing.

Students

Academic work is emotionally taxing. Track how different subjects, study methods, and deadlines affect stress levels.

Wellness-Focused Professionals

People who prioritize work-life balance and mental health, using tools to maintain sustainable productivity.

Career Transitioners

Anyone exploring what type of work truly suits them - data on emotional responses helps inform career pivots.
