About Everyday Works
Making everyday life work.
My Story
It started on my mom's couch.
I was exhausted, sick, and behind on everything. I had been working 60 to 70 hour weeks for a long stretch, and my body and mind were keeping score.
The night before, I had run out of gas and walked two miles in 20-degree weather with bronchitis. A few nights later, I pulled a plastic plate out of the microwave, peeled melted plastic off my hand, and didn't feel a thing.
That was the moment I understood how far gone I was. The advice I kept hearing—get up fifteen minutes earlier—didn't touch the real problem. I didn't need to try harder. I had nothing left to try with.
So I stopped looking for motivation and started looking at the pattern.
What I Realized
The problem was never that I wasn't capable. The problem was that I was holding too much in my head and calling it normal.
"Memory is fragile. Systems aren't."
Once I saw that, everything changed. I didn't need to become a better, sharper version of myself. I needed to design my life so that important things lived somewhere visible—not in a tired mind that was already full.
My Approach
A few principles guide everything I build:
Address the system, not the person.
Breakdowns happen because memory holds too much—not because you failed.
What you can see, you can manage.
What's hidden gets missed. Visibility prevents breakdown.
A tool should lighten the load.
Not become another thing to maintain.
Why Everyday Works Exists
The lessons I learned didn't apply to just one problem.
They applied to travel planning, caregiving, wellness tracking, important documents, and all the other responsibilities people carry every day.
That's why I created Everyday Works.
Every app starts with the same question: "How can we make everyday life a little easier?"
The answer isn't more complexity. It's clear systems, simple tools, and information that's available when you need it.
The Everyday Works Family
Four apps. Each solves a specific problem. Together, they help organize everyday life.
Forget Me Not
Store important documents, medical information, contacts, dates, and records in one secure place.
Plan in Place
Organize reservations, itineraries, travel documents, packing information, and emergency contacts before every trip.
Notes from the Nest
Help parents, caregivers, and families stay connected through shared schedules, routines, and important information.
Moody Meals
Track food, mood, exercise, water, vitamins, and wellness patterns to better understand your health.
"You're not disorganized. You're overloaded."
Everyday Works is for the person who holds everything together—who remembers the birthdays, schedules the appointments, and carries the logistics for everyone around them. You don't need a pep talk. You need structure.
Making Everyday Life Work Again
Everyday Works was built for people who carry a lot and rarely get to put any of it down.
You don't need to remember everything. You need systems you can trust.
That's why every Everyday Works app is designed to reduce stress, increase clarity, and help you focus on what matters most.
