    The Gap between Good Intentions and Impact

    ByShrutin Shetty February 8, 2022

    The gap between good intentions and impact of the resulting action (or choice) has been an area of interest to me. A decade ago, a Brad Pitt linked non-profit messed up an affordable homes project [2008-2015] in New Orleans.

    Feature Suggestion for Todoist

    ByShrutin Shetty January 24, 2022September 7, 2022

    In my last post, I recommended reading the book, To-do List Formula. I also shared my own key takeaways from the book. The book highly recommended the Todoist app to create and track tasks. I started using it ever since, and compared to all the apps I have used so far, I have found it…
