Money & being the sole income earner in the house (wife and 3 kids) and doing it by freelancing. Like most Americans, we live payment-by-payment.
The other problem I have is anxiety, procrastination, and similar issues.
If you're asking this to fish for product ideas, I would love to see a managed task-master assistant service.
Remember that story of a guy that used to pay someone to sit next to him and hit him whenever he was procrastinating? Something similar could be set up where when your day starts, you connect with your assistant via video chat. They can watch everything happening on your screen.
At the start of the day, they should spend some time asking what you want to get done and break it down into a task list for you and feed you pomodoro-like chunks. An assistant could monitor 4 to 8 people at the same time with the right software (screenshots and list of open window titles).
A paid task-master or accountability-buddy. Maybe $3 or $4 an hour for the service.
- landon32 9y agoHave you thought about setting up a system like this with another freelance friend? Every day you could hop on a call with them and tell them your goals. You can help each other flesh out task lists and determine 'pomodoro-like chunks'. It seems like you wouldn't really need to hire someone for this, you can just find an accountability buddy who would benefit from these meetings too.
