Call List
As discussed in “Just Call Me”, I mostly operate on an ad-hoc phone call basis. I want a list of people I owe calls to, and Congruence offers that to me.
Sam Lessin has built a much more featureful (and open to the public!) version of this with calllist.app — check it out! The site also has a breakdown of why this approach is great & productive.
My version is simple: add people either from my contacts list or manually. Re-order them at will. Enter any notes to remember. Hit the call or text (or contact card) buttons. Talk to them.
Whenever my schedule has me planned to go out for a walk, I get a push notification that brings me right into the Call List module and I start working through it.
Once I hit someone, I just swipe them off and I’m good to go. This module is really simple, but it’s all I need (and the affordances of tap-to-call/text and push notification reminders are worthwhile over just putting these in a different notes place — plus then it doesn’t clutter up my notes, which I can regularly get to zero).
