A few weeks ago I thought about setting a Telegram bot to send me a reminder to do stuff, you get the dopamine hit of "Oh someone's sent me a message" so hopefully it's harder to ignore.
I've also thought of a To Do app that has statistics of how long you've ignored/snoozed items, to shock people like me who's procrastinated things like learning French for probably 5+ years now...
- CGamesPlay 4y agoIf you've had "Learn French" on your to-do list for 5 years, then learning that you've had this on your list for 5 years won't suddenly make you do it. You gotta break that task down! "Choose a French course" or even "Make a list of French courses" is a more achievable task that you should replace that one with.
- blackbear_ 4y agoThere's an app that constantly reminds me to exercise in a similar way: "Your body needs energy! You haven't exercised for 567 days" - at this point it's just funny to see the number go up and up
- netsharc 4y agoThe app could just remind the user less and less if they keep hitting snooze, e.g. 2 days, 4 days, 8, etc... That would certainly better than something like Chrome on Android, where, on every load of a site I like to visit, it (the browser, not the site, because the site doesn't have such gimmicks) popped up a dialog that says "Put this site on your home screen for quick access.". I went into settings to see if there's a "Shut the fuck up you moron" toggle, couldn't find it, went back to the site, "Put this site on your home screen for quick access."
