Love Goblin Tools? Here's the Pro Workflow You're Missing
Goblin Tools breaks tasks. Dopamind helps you finish them.
If you have ADHD, you probably know and love Goblin Tools (Magic ToDo).
It's a genius utility. You type in "Clean the house," hit the magic wand, and it spits out a step-by-step list. For a brain that gets paralyzed by big tasks, this is a lifesaver.
But here is the problem: Once you have that list... what happens next?
You usually have to copy-paste it into another app, or keep the browser tab open until you accidentally close it. The magic stops at the "planning" phase.
Breaking down a task is only half the battle. Doing it is the other half.
This is where Dopamind comes in. Think of us as the "Integrated Version" of Goblin Tools—a complete operating system that takes you from breakdown to execution.
The "Disconnected Tool" Trap
Goblin Tools is a Single-Player Tool. It does one thing perfectly, but it lives outside your daily system.
- ❌ No Context: It doesn't know your schedule.
- ❌ No Execution: It doesn't have a focus timer to help you start.
- ❌ No Memory: It doesn't track what you've accomplished over time.
You end up with a perfect list of subtasks, but you're still stuck in "ADHD Paralysis" because the friction of moving that list to a calendar is too high.
Dopamind: The Complete "Breakdown-to-Done" Loop
Dopamind takes the core "Magic Breakdown" feature and embeds it into a full productivity workflow.
1. Same Magic, Less Friction 🪄
You don't need to open a separate website. In Dopamind, just click the "Breakdown" button on any task in your list.
- "Write Essay" → Instantly becomes 5 actionable steps inside your task card.
- No copy-pasting required. It's already where it needs to be.
2. From Planning to Flow 🍅
This is the game-changer. Once your task is broken down, you simply click "Focus." Dopamind immediately starts a Pomodoro timer for that specific subtask.
- Goblin Tools: Gives you a list.
- Dopamind: Gives you a list AND a distraction-free environment to finish it.
3. The Dopamine Reward 🎉
When you finish a subtask in Dopamind, you don't just check a box. You get instant AI feedback and encouragement. This closes the loop and makes your brain want to do it again.
