I too had this issue of spending too much time on HN till I built a Chrome extension that inserts random items from my todo list at the bottom of each page, and by the time I click on "More," the incomplete todo starts bugging me.
- caseymarquis 8y agoDo you have source for that available? I'm assuming it's pretty specific to your list, but it sounds like it'd be easy to adapt.
- hackpert 8y agoI open sourced an old version of this for reddit a few years ago here, if it helps: https://github.com/hackpert/dooly https://github.com/hackpert/dooly. The one I use currently picks things from my org-mode agenda and inserts them across various places, but that should be fairly easy to change and integrate with any other todo list app with an API. I'll try and clean up personal information from the code sometime this week and update the project.
- Obi_Juan_Kenobi 8y agoI find a lot of 'productivity' hacks kinda clumsy, but that's actually really clever. I love the idea of nagging/guilting you into making better choices, rather than having hard limits on your time, etc. And if you already keep a to-do list, it's entirely automatic.
