When there's no wind, sailors kedge.
You row the anchor out ahead of the ship, drop it, and haul yourself forward by hand. It's how sailors moved when the thing that's supposed to move you isn't there. That's what this tool is for.
You know the graveyard.
GTD. Notion. Bullet journals. Planner apps. Pomodoro. The system you spent six hours building and never opened again. And every time one failed, it felt like more evidence that you were the problem.
The usual advice is "just make a list." But the list was never where it broke. It breaks at the drift: you know what you meant to do. You might even want to do it. Three hours later you've done… things. Tabs. Email. Something vaguely useful. Not the thing. And then the shame tax arrives.
Kedge assumes you'll drift.
It's not a system that expects perfect daily maintenance, and it is not going to ask you to become a better person. It's anchor-handling for the days without wind:
- A short list of what actually matters today — not two hundred tasks
- Dropped balls come back tomorrow. Nothing is lost forever.
- Enough context to restart without reconstructing everything from memory
- Skipping a day is an expected event, not a failure state
- End-to-end encrypted — built so we cannot read your data, even if we wanted to
- No phone calls, no onboarding call, no "book a demo." Ever.
Not therapy. Not coaching. Not a cure. Not another giant system to maintain. Just a kedge for the days the wind doesn't show.
Kedge is being built right now — this page is the keel being laid. No waitlist theater, no "reserve your spot." Check back. It'll be here.
