The Friction of "Getting Organized"
Let’s be honest. We all create to-do lists to get more work done.
But what if the act of creating the list has become another tedious task on the list itself?
If you're like most teams, your day is a constant shuffle between apps and mental states:
- You dig through old Slack threads, trying to recall that one decision from yesterday to manually create a task.
- You're in a crucial meeting, but you're only half-listening because you’re busy typing notes, trying not to miss an action item.
- You end your day trying to consolidate tasks scattered across your notes app, a project board, and your email inbox.
We started doing this to be more productive.
So why does it feel like we're just spinning our wheels?
The Real Problem: The "Tax" on Your Conversations
The problem isn't that you're disorganized.
The problem is that the place where work is discussed (your chat) is completely disconnected from the place where work is tracked (your to-do list).
To bridge this gap, your team has been forced to act as "human APIs" manually copying, pasting, and translating living conversations into the rigid format of a task or ticket.
Every time you do this, you pay a small but relentless "Collaboration Tax."
It’s the friction that kills momentum and drains your team of its most valuable resource: focus.
The New Paradigm: Conversation is the To-Do List
What if you could eliminate this tax entirely? What if the to-do list simply wrote itself?
Our approach is simple: Just talk to your team.
Markhub understands the context of your conversations.
When a decision is made or a task is requested in a chat,
Markhub allows you to convert it into an actionable to-do item with a single click.
No more digging through archives.
No more losing focus to take notes.
The conversation is the task list, with the full context permanently attached.
Conclusion: We Did the Hard Work So You Don't Have To
We didn’t set out to build a "better to-do list app."
We set out to eliminate the pointless work required to create one.
Before Markhub = Conversation → Remember → Note-taking → Organize → Create Task
After Markhub = Conversation → Create Task
By skipping the steps in the middle, we discovered that teams can finally get back to
what they do best: the actual work.
We did it.
Stop doing the work about the work.
Just focus on the conversation.
