7todos consultants

7todos is a minimalist task management tool built around a simple constraint: you can only have seven active tasks at a time. The idea comes from research on cognitive load — most people can only hold about seven items in working memory, and long task lists create anxiety without improving productivity. By capping your list at seven, 7todos forces you to prioritise ruthlessly and focus on what actually matters today.

The tool itself is deliberately simple. You add tasks, drag them into priority order, mark them complete, and add new ones. There’s no project hierarchy, no Gantt charts, no resource allocation — just seven slots and the discipline to use them. Daily email reminders keep your list visible, and cross-device sync means your tasks are accessible from your phone, tablet, or computer.

For individuals and small teams who feel overwhelmed by complex project management tools, 7todos offers a refreshing alternative. It’s not trying to replace Asana or Monday.com for managing large projects across departments. It’s for the person who ends the day with 47 items on their to-do list and accomplished none of the important ones.

While 7todos is primarily an individual productivity tool, it can be connected to broader workflows. Using n8n, we can set up automations that create 7todos tasks from specific triggers — a high-priority support ticket, a deal reaching a certain stage, or a calendar event. If your team needs help building personal productivity habits into a larger business automation strategy, we can help design something that fits.
