The venture capitalist Tom Tungus came up with this really great phase, and I keep coming back to it.

He called it the done list.

He says, we're out of the to-do list era.

We're into the done list era.

And that's the capability and the capability that things like Clawed Code are providing to all of us.

And here's what it feels like to live within it.

And I'll just give you one example.

I've got about 4,000 music tracks on my computer and my SSDs.

They're a real mess.

They're the tracks that I use when I'm DJing and doing sets of different types.

And needless to say, over the years, they've just got really messy, confused in all sorts of different places.

I download them, I buy them, and I can never find them again.

And they also all need to go through two post-processing steps so that the levels are good and so that they've got marked up with harmonics and so on.

And then I can load them into the DJ software and put them on my decks and mix with them.

Now, for months, actually much longer, I have planned to organize those 4,000 files and make sure they are all processed by those two steps and neatly cataloged and therefore accessible.

To me, guess what?

It has been on the bottom of my to-do list because there are a million other things that I need to do.

Now, last week, actually, was it last week?

Yeah, I think so.

Last week or maybe just before New Year's, in about an hour, I built three apps on my Mac.
