What should I do next?
A free tool that answers the question directly: add your tasks, and Pomop tells you which one to work on right now, with a real reason attached.
How people usually decide
Most of the time, "what should I do next" gets answered one of three ways: whatever's on top of the list, whatever feels most urgent in the moment, or whatever's easiest to avoid deciding about. None of these actually weigh the things that matter — how important a task is, how soon it's due, whether it's already overdue, and how long it's been sitting untouched.
Urgency vs. importance
A task can be urgent without being important, and important without being urgent. A reply due in an hour might feel pressing, while a task that quietly slips its deadline every week does more long-term damage. A good decision weighs both, along with how much time you actually have — a two-hour task doesn't help when you only have twenty minutes free.
How Pomop decides
Pomop's Decision Engine scores every pending task on priority, deadline urgency (including whether it's already overdue), how well it fits the time you have available, and how long it's been waiting — with a modest boost so old tasks don't get buried forever. The highest-scoring task is recommended, along with the specific reasons behind the pick, like "Due today" or "High importance." No account, no AI model, no data leaving your browser. The task prioritizer walks through a worked example, and the methodology page lists the exact weights.
Why deciding manually gets harder as the day goes on
Re-asking "what should I do next" ten or more times a day is exactly the kind of repeated decision that causes decision fatigue — see how to reduce decision fatigue for why managing decisions better only goes so far, and what it looks like to offload this specific one instead.
Try it now
Add a task or two on the Home page and see the recommendation appear immediately — no setup required. Once you've got tasks in, you can review them all on the Tasks page or see them laid out on the Calendar. For the whole workflow end to end, see the productivity planner. Want the whole day in view before picking one task? The daily planner shows what's overdue, what's due today, and roughly how long it all takes.
Frequently asked questions
Why is it so hard to decide what to work on?
Because most task lists only show what's left, not what matters most right now. Without a clear ranking, every task looks equally urgent, so the easiest thing to do is pick the shortest one, or nothing at all.
Is Pomop using AI to decide?
No. Pomop uses a deterministic Decision Engine, not AI — the same inputs always produce the same recommendation, and every pick comes with a plain-language reason built from the actual factors, not a generated explanation.
What if I disagree with the recommendation?
"Choose another" re-ranks your remaining tasks instantly. Nothing is deleted or penalized — the task just stays on your list for next time.
