I built a system that removes "what should I work on" from my daily decisions.
Most indie devs I know burn 30-60 minutes every morning just deciding what to build. The paralysis of infinite possibility.
I automated that decision. Now I have a pipeline:
- Sunday: Research and queue next week's builds
- Weekdays: Execute the queue, no questions asked
- Weekend: Ship and document
The result: 5x more shipped features, zero decision fatigue.
The system isn't complex. It's a Notion board with:
- Feature ideas (captured anytime)
- This week's queue (locked Sunday night)
- In-progress (max 2 items)
- Shipped (auto-archive)
The constraint is the magic. When you remove the option to change your mind, you just build.
How do you handle decision paralysis?
