Before & after
From vague dread to one doable action
I need to apply for jobs.
The whole search feels too big to start.
I need to clean my room.
Every corner feels like a separate project.
I have debt and feel stuck.
The numbers swirl until you shut down.
Write the job title you want.
One sentence. Two minutes. Done.
Open one drawer.
Physical action. No planning required.
List your three most urgent bills.
Clarity before any big decisions.
MicroSteps does not give you another giant to-do list. It gives you the next doable action.
Why not normal to-do apps?
To-do apps tell you what exists. MicroSteps tells you what to do next.
Normal task lists often still leave the hardest part: starting. MicroSteps turns the task into one physical next action.
To-do apps
Why it fails: They store tasks but never help you start. A list of 40 items is just 40 reasons to freeze.
MicroSteps: MicroSteps shows one next action at a time — sized for a brain that can't prioritize.
Calendars
Why it fails: Blocking time doesn't break down the work. You sit in the meeting with yourself and still don't know step one.
MicroSteps: Every block comes with pre-broken micro-steps and realistic time estimates.
ChatGPT
Why it fails: Great at advice, terrible at accountability. You get a plan, close the tab, and nothing changes.
MicroSteps: MicroSteps tracks completion, nudges when you stall, and rebuilds momentum automatically.
Project management
Why it fails: Built for teams shipping features — not for one person who can't open the document.
MicroSteps: Designed for executive dysfunction: smallest possible step, always, with zero setup.

Getting moving again without guilt
When progress slows, MicroSteps shrinks your next step until starting feels possible again — no streak pressure.
Why people come back
Built for real life, not perfect weeks
People come back because MicroSteps helps them:
- Start when you feel frozen
- Recover after missing a day
- Finish one small action
- See progress without guilt
- Keep moving without building a complex system
Completion summary
Closure when you finish your steps
After you finish your steps, MicroSteps shows:
What you completed
A clear list of steps you finished today.
Your progress summary
See how far you moved without digging through lists.
Your next milestone
Know what you are working toward next.
One recommended next action
Start again without deciding from scratch.
This helps you feel closure and progress — then pick up again with one small next step.

Executive dysfunction
"I can't start" — we built for exactly that.
Same goal, three entry points. MicroSteps meets you where your energy actually is — not where productivity culture says you should be.
Open the doc. Write one sentence. That's it.
For when even thinking about the task feels impossible.
Outline 3 bullet points. No editing. No perfection.
For when you can show up briefly but can't commit to deep work.
Complete one full micro-step with a timer running.
For when you have a window of focus and want real traction.

Founder, MicroSteps
Former product lead · ADHD · Built what I needed
Why we built this
I have ADHD. Every productivity app made me feel broken.
I'd stare at my to-do list for hours. I'd ask ChatGPT for a plan, feel motivated for five minutes, then never open the doc. I wasn't lazy — my brain couldn't find the front door to the task.
So I built MicroSteps: a tool that doesn't ask you to “just start.” It finds the smallest possible first step, puts a timer on it, and celebrates when you finish — even if that step took 2 minutes.
Today, early users rely on it to get unstuck — not because they're more disciplined, but because they finally have a system built for how overwhelmed brains actually work.
