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 becaus…

Hello, I’m the author of the post. I spent quite a bit of time looking for an interesting way to execute my tasks, and I ended up building this small free tool. I hope it will be u…

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 t…

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

Thank you!

Yes, that is exactly it. It is annoying to do, but it works well, at least for me.

And it works :) Thank you for your comment

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 m…

Epson TM-T20III is the entry-level model from Epson

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…

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 f…

Since the article was written, bisphenol has been banned in Europe.

I think a lot of people are unaware of it :(

Thank you for your comment. Seeing the tickets in the jar really helps you feel like you actually got something done. I cannot wait for you to try my app :)

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…
