What is a desktop overlay?
Think of it as a small, useful layer that sits above your everyday apps.
You might be writing in a document, researching in your browser or working through an inbox. Switching away to organise everything can break the thread.
An overlay gives the useful bits a place beside your work: the thing you’re doing now, a note you don’t want to lose and a little structure for the session.
10ktasks brings those pieces together. A task for direction. A note for headspace. A body double for company.
A small ritual. A little more flow.
From “where do I start?” to one thing, done.
1. Pick the next thing
Open your tasks and choose one small, specific thing to work on. Everything else can wait.
2. Clear a little space
Put the stray thought in a note. Keep the useful details nearby without carrying them all in your head.
3. Find your focus
Work on your own, or use body doubling for a little company. Your task stays in view as you go.
4. Notice the progress
Tick off what’s done, keep a note of what’s next and take a breath. Not everything needs to happen today.
For the work. And the life around it.
A first draft, a study session, that email you’ve been meaning to send. Start where you are.
Keep the idea close. Get the draft going.
Pin your next task beside the document. Catch the idea in a note. Leave yourself a starting point for tomorrow, without stepping away from today.
The reading. The planning. The little loose ends.
Break the chapter into a task. Put the errands somewhere you can see them. When you’d rather not work alone, bring a body double along.
Some days, it helps to not do it alone.
Body doubling means working in the presence of someone else — each of you doing your own thing, with a little shared intention.
You don’t need to be working on the same project. Bring a task, make room for a focus session and keep 10ktasks beside the work.

Why 10ktasks (and not another open tab)?
Your tools should support the work, not become more work.
Alongside, not instead
Stay in the apps you know. Bring your tasks and notes to the work, rather than the other way around.
One next step, not all the things
Give your attention somewhere to land. The whole list doesn’t need to be today’s list.
Independent doesn’t mean alone
Use body doubling when you want company, and keep your own rhythm when you don’t.
