Yo!

Backboard is a venture of **Square Mile Labs** (in Beta).

A movement for ICs to pursue excellence, to fight burnout, and to declutter. A simplified productivity system without the noise.

Backboard is…


Topical

Backboard is for current topic work. It’s for what’s important today – not, what might be important later. For what’s next – not, what’s been done. It’s a map of your brain, always right now.

Primitive

Backboard is a system of principles & methods, not notifications & integrations. Technically, it can be duplicated onto pen & paper. Primitive tech, fundamental productivity… better work.

Personal

Backboard is for the individual contributor (IC) first – not, the org. No @-mentions, no comments to resolve, no inbox to watch, no “what’s everyone working on” dashboard. Collect & distribute elsewhere, synthesize & organize here.
