Help me be accountable with my time
Hey people of the HN,
So here is the deal:
I want to work on a project. For that I need someone keep me accountable, like on a job.
Rules:
- End of the day I'll share update what I did
- If nothing substantial then I lose money (more below)
- Doesn't count - weekends and sick days
If I don't post it I'll send 20$ to any charity (by poll)
I'll post updates here https://x.com/ab44997
Even one person is enough so I feel shame and -20$
- zloy88 2mo agoHahaha :D that is hilarious. I am honestly curious, just like being a motivator, since I am also building.
- atomiomi 2mo agoYou could share your update as well ;)
- ThierryRkt 2mo agox'D I feel you, I was also in same case as it tooks me months before shipping the first version of my side project. I am also an economist and we called it "Commitment Device" so don't feel ashamed as it's normal. I am honestly curious, what it will become
- atomiomi 2mo agoyeah, and work stuff I do without any problem, all before deadlines
- ThierryRkt 2mo agoThe best advice I've recieved was writen down what you made today and what you want to do the next, then next day you repeat the same process... But don't be rude with yourself, its like building a new habit it takes time and so you will probably missed some days
- atomiomi 2mo agointeresting part is I already do that at work, but for my own stuff nope, tthere's no one around to shame me
- ThierryRkt 2mo agoHow is that possible x'D For that point, I can’t help you, sorry
- atomiomi 2mo agoShaming is not required, just that I keep accountable. Will share first standup today
- ThierryRkt 2mo agoGood, I've started following you on X. No need to pay $20 for that x'D
- brudgers 2mo agoI want to work on a project. Then work on it. Donate $20 to charity too. Good luck.
