No. 1 · The household desk of Miss Pesterby

You have enough
to think about.
Miss Pesterby
will take it from here.

The household assistant for everything rattling around in your head. Tell her what needs doing, what you're waiting on, what someone said, or what you simply don't want to forget. She'll keep track of it and bring you in when you're actually needed.

No lists to organise. No system to maintain. Just tell her.

What a morning looks like

She reports. You get on with your day.

Everything below is hers to carry until the moment it genuinely needs you.

Today's report

All under control

All under control.

  • School shoesTuesday's problem.
  • Swimming lessonsStill with James. I'm watching it.
  • Mum's birthdayThose gift ideas are safely tucked away.
  • DentistNext Thursday.

Nothing needs you right now.

"Go away. I mean that affectionately."

Miss Pesterby

Another to-do list would be rather missing the point.

Pesterby doesn't hand you another system to keep on top of. You already have quite enough of those, and they all quietly require you to remember to use them.

You give Pesterby the things you're already managing. She decides where they belong, keeps them together, and brings them back at the moment they matter — not before.

Say it however it arrives

You don't organise her. She organises you.

    Vault · Places

    Kept for a free evening

Affairs, The Register, the Vault. Her filing, not your homework.

Research and remember

She'll do the digging, then file it away.

Ask Miss Pesterby to look something up and she'll keep what matters — places, ideas, recommendations, facts — all tucked into the Vault where you can find them.

Miss Pesterby

Stop being the person who has to remember everything.

Three things is all it takes to see what she does with them.

Hand it to Pesterby

"I'll be waiting. I'm always waiting."
