Personal Task Manager

Hi, my name is Dave Pinch, and I can help you stop procrastinating and get your tasks done. I offer a unique service designed for professionals and students. This is not a mentoring or coaching service. This is a get-the-job-done process that works.

Stay focused and accountable

Under this service, we meet once or twice a week for 15-30 minutes to review your personal and professional tasks. I track everything for you, and hold you accountable in a supportive, non-judgmental way. You gain an independent observer who helps you get things done.

Your personal scrum

Our process is adapted from SCRUM methodology. We have a recurring standup meeting, typically once or twice a week. Each meeting, you tell us what you finished, you tell us what you need to do next, and you tell us about any blocking issues. We track your work and talk through any issues.

Extra assistance on-demand

At any time, you can delegate tasks to us. As long as the task can be completed remotely, we will work on the task and update you at our next standup. You are not required to use this service, and we do not actively pitch the service during standups, which is your time.

FAQ

What is a personal scrum master?

A personal scrum master helps you stay focused and accountable by guiding you through a lightweight version of the SCRUM process. We meet with you regularly to track your progress, identify blockers, and help you stay on top of your personal or professional goals.

How does this service work?

We hold short, recurring stand-up meetings (daily or a few times a week). You share what you’ve completed, what’s next, and any blockers. We track your tasks for you—no apps or spreadsheets required—and help you stay on track.

What kinds of tasks can I track?

Anything you want to get done! From personal goals like fitness or decluttering, to professional tasks like writing, planning, or learning. If it matters to you, we’ll help you stay accountable for it.

Can I delegate tasks to you?

Yes! If a task can be done remotely—like scheduling appointments, researching options, or sending emails—we can take it off your plate and update you at your next check-in.

How is this different from a productivity app or coach?

Unlike apps, we’re real people who meet with you regularly and adapt to your needs. Unlike coaches, we don’t just advise—we help you get things done by tracking tasks and even completing some for you.

Who is this service for?

Busy professionals, entrepreneurs, students, or anyone who wants to stay organized and make consistent progress on their goals—with a little help and accountability.
