Daily Grind started while I was studying at Harvard with an Expo marker and a to-do list written on my refrigerator.
At first, it was just a place to keep track of everything I needed to get done. But one long list wasn't really working. Over time, I started breaking it into sections for things like my top priorities, self-care, cleaning, and everything else I needed to keep track of that day.
I kept changing it based on what actually worked for me and what didn't.
The fridge eventually became a daily worksheet. The worksheet grew into a physical workbook, with space for planning, tracking, and scratch paper. I kept using it, changing it, and adding things whenever I found myself wishing the system did something differently.
Eventually, I wanted the same system on my phone.
That became Daily Grind.
The app is still built around the same idea as the original list on my fridge: one simple place to see what matters today, keep track of the everyday things that matter too, and pick up tomorrow without starting all over again.
