I want more people to try Cockpit. I sense it's so simple and universal that it's gotta help anyone who uses it.
Alright, since I am perennially crunched for money :), I've been pitching my projects to friends around. For friends are all I know.
So, I've been pitching for Cockpit too.
I find it funny when they aren't able to appreciate my plans and my doings. So it turns out that a great majority of my life has been funny.
Last night, when I followed up with a friend, he said his friends (with whom he shared the app) didn't get too excited about the thing. They feel the market for productivity is too cluttered.
I was flummoxed. Entire life is a market for productivity. It will always stay cluttered.
Guess understanding what Cockpit induces a user to do is important. Here's a perspective.
When you don't respond to a dear friend, how do you think that friend is going to feel? Perhaps annoyed. Perhaps let down. Perhaps unpleasantly surprised. Or something else.
Let me ask another question. Why you don't respond to a dear friend? Likely reasons, you can't devote time or can't address him positively or don't find the friend 'dear' enough or don't have energy to dedicate yourself to whatever the request or, plain simple, you just can't remember.
If I am not wrong, most of us are victims of 'forgetfulness'. Intention's there, perhaps even time and energy. But when the thing's not present in the conscious head, how could we possibly act upon it.
Cockpit address forgetfulness in an intuitive manner. It offers prompts (buttons) which will easily help you dig out the very thought cloaked with forgetfulness.
When you don't forget, you are more likely to act, to respond. When you are more likely to act and respond, you are more likely to maintain healthy exchange with whoever you are working with. That's what execution is all about. That's what Cockpit is a part of.
But then, it isn't necessary that friends see this manner of working working out. Right?
