For most of us, life and work require wearing multiple hats. There are multiple roles or task categories we need to perform on a daily basis.

Some jobs require Selling, Preparing Estimates, Providing Technical Support, and Expense Reporting. Other jobs require Writing, Shipping, Booking, and Reading. Think about the activities that should happen on a daily basis in your life — the hats you need to wear — to keep your life going smoothly.

These recurring activities usually end in “-ing.” Emailing. Designing. Composing. Performing. Networking. They’re not one-time tasks with a finish line. They’re ongoing practices — things that need your attention regularly, not perfectly.

That’s what makes them hard to manage. A task has a deadline. A hat doesn’t. Nobody sends you a reminder that you haven’t practiced guitar in two weeks. Nobody puts “read for pleasure” on your calendar. These activities fall through the cracks not because they’re unimportant, but because they’re never urgent.

HatRack is built for exactly this. You add your hats to the rack — whatever they are, however many you have. When you’re ready to focus, you click one button. A random hat is selected. A random timer between 1 and 25 minutes rolls. And you work on that activity until the timer ends.

You don’t decide what to work on. You don’t decide how long. You just start. And when you’re done, the hat goes back on the rack, ready for next time.

Every hat gets its turn. Nothing gets neglected. And you stop spending your limited energy on the meta-work of choosing, scheduling, and prioritizing — so you can spend it on the work itself.
