I used to suffer from massive unproductivity. So I began to run experiments. Among them, I realized that accountability and a human being next to me aided in productivity. So I did what any normal person would do. I hired someone to slap me in the face. http://hackthesystem.com/blog/why-i-hired-a-girl-on-craigslist-to-slap-me-in-the-face-and-why-it-quadrupled-my-productivity/ http://hackthesystem.com/blog/why-i-hired-a-girl-on-craigsli... The results were mindblowing. My productivity quadrupled. I got Important (but non-urgent) work done fluidly, and easily. I posted the article online and it went viral. Many people thought it was crazy, but others understood. So I decided to take it a step further. What if the world could improve as well as I did? Unfortunately, slapping doesn't scale, so I tried to build the next best thing. Pavlok --- the wearable device that uses vibrations to reward good behavior, and a mild electric stimulus to reduce bad behaviors. My first app was a Chrome extension that allows me to choose which sites I want to blacklist. If I spend 5 minutes on Facebook, it will beep my wrist. If I spend 30 mins on Facebook, I receive the electric zap --- and the longer I stay on line, the more powerful the zap becomes. People use it in hundreds of ways. To beep loudly when they enter facebook. To vibrate if they bite their nails. To send a zap to wake them up (shocking alarm clock --- it just works). It's actually pretty freaking amazing to see what our users are doing with it. Anyway, I thought you all might be interested --- what do you think? Could you see yourselves using the chrome extension to train away your bad habits? http://buy.pavlok.com http://buy.pavlok.com is the site to check it out. or on Amazon: http://amazon.com/Pavlok-1/dp/B011U2QYO2 http://amazon.com/Pavlok-1/dp/B011U2QYO2
