Interesting. The latter reminds me of a book ("Drop Dead Healthy"), where the author tests a similar technique to incentivize productive behavior. There it goes a step further, though: If you miss a deadline, break a promise, etc., you must donate a specific amount to a cause that you despise.

- bishopsmother 4y agoI'm building SocialsDetox ( https://socialsdetox.com/r/sdh https://socialsdetox.com/r/sdh ) along similar lines, to provide an easy way to block/timeout from Social Media (and/or other categories that may be detrimental to well-being). Unfortunately I suspect not many people would opt for the "donation to a cause they despised" feature (before being allowed to re-enable their access); will look at adding it as an option and report on the take-up.
