Job finished? I don't think so.

Title after Kobe Bryant, 2009: "Job's not finished."

I built fire over a weekend because I wanted a more honest picture of my follow-through.

I write down things that matter, then sometimes spend hours avoiding them. A checkbox tells me what remains unfinished. I wanted to see that gap accumulate.

Fire is a weighted task list with three graphs: completed work, overdue commitments, and the balance between them. You decide what each task is worth. The graphs make your choices visible over days, weeks and months.

Every task gets a weight from 1 to 100, based on how important it is to what I'm trying to achieve. Completing it adds that weight to the completed-work graph. Leaving it unfinished past its planned day adds the same weight to the opportunity-cost graph. The third graph shows the balance: completed weight minus overdue unfinished weight. That way, I'm tracking whether I follow through on what matters to me, rather than simply counting checkboxes. Those weights are my judgement, not an objective measurement of growth. The point is to assign them honestly and consistently, and use the record to question my choices over time.

The bigger idea is compounding: whether the work I do today makes tomorrow's work easier, better, or more ambitious. That's what I eventually want to understand, not just whether I completed more tasks.

This first version doesn't pretend to measure that yet. It records commitments, completion dates and changes, giving me a history I can examine rather than rely on memory.
