Hi! I made Make It Count, a daily email to fight procrastination. It sends you a daily reminder with how much time is left in your year, quarter, month, and week. I built it because procrastination often comes from feeling like there’s alwa

I think we can talk about feedback without input, yes. The reality of feedback is actually very broad. If we just look at the world of video games, and consider all the different types that exist, there is a wide variety of feedback, some m

I had never thought of that, but you are right, it is a solid source of information.

I wrote this article precisely because, for once, I found a system that actually sticks. I have been using it every day for six months, whereas other systems would last a week at most.

That says a lot about you, unfortunately :P But hey, who cares, you killed a dragon!

Yes, it is possible, but if you print directly from the browser, you cannot tell the printer when to cut. In my case, I generate multiple images and tell the printer when to cut. I also have another version without images. The difference be

I completely relate to what you are saying. I do not use Markdown, but I use Notion because I find it just a little more convenient. But with my software, I am actually trying to reach the same speed as Markdown for advanced users. I have c

Yes, the feeling of having made progress is so important. That little thing can sometimes be enough to lift our spirits on a day when we are not feeling our best.

Yes, that is exactly it. The tools may be different, but the essence of the method is exactly the same.

Yes, I was familiar with the concept of INCUP, but I had never seen it summarized so simply. As for variable interval rewards, I knew about the concept, but I did not include it in the article because it is already too long, and also becaus

I agree with everything you wrote. But for many people, giving up what entertains them is just not possible. That is why I think my method can really help those people. Thank you for this very interesting comment. As for the paper, you need

So approximately 6 months, considering that I usually give up on any somewhat complex system after about a week. But I agree with everything you said, especially the part about how we need to be minimalist when it comes to task management.

Yes, but it is very difficult because in the end we all have slightly different workflows. But I have a few interesting ideas that I hope people will like soon :)

My problem is that when I use an LLM to break a task into smaller steps, it is often not exactly how I would have done it. But maybe that is because in my line of work, it is difficult to feed all the right parameters into the system for an
