Thank you. I understand that this is like setting a small, quantifiable goal; once you achieve it, there's not much to be anxious about.

Same, except I need to be more forceful.

Haha, obviously this needs a "skip today only" option.

The feeling of flow is indeed wonderful, but sometimes I get caught in the anxiety of not being able to complete a task.

Drinking more water has been mentioned many times, and it seems to really work.

Haha, sometimes I'm like that too, but sometimes it's the opposite

Yeah I don't think any tool can fully solve this – it's ultimately a willpower thing.

the tool's job is to add friction, not to be unbreakable. Even if you bypass it sometimes, if it stops you from staying up late a few more times per month, that's a win

Curious – what made you stop using your script?

Honestly, this is probably the most reliable method. Biology > willpower.

I've tried the water trick but then I just hold it until I "finish this one thing"... which is the same problem.

The ultimate interrupt-driven system. No snooze button. LoL..
