Maybe we should instead look another way than constantly try to be evermore efficient?

#82Feedback:
Firefox support could be better: color picker does not respond, time entry widget is annoying.
It would be nice to have a feedback/contact button or info about liquidtime app, an e-mail address, anything.
Out of curiosity, how did you build it?

#83Pretty neat for a high school side project!

#84I think there's no tool can "kill" procrastination once and for all. It is a human nature that reside in our body and mind. Unless you change your mindset, there is no such tool to kill procrastination. So, the tagline is over promised.

#85I'm not sure what the intent is for how much time per day to manage with this. When it asked me how much time I have per day, I wanted to at first say 24hrs (duh). I figured that was probably wrong (because it's asking), so I said 16 hours, since that's more my usable time window given 8 hours of sleep. This app is obviously not meant to fill 16 hours. So I think I've missed the point here. Is this for people with 9-5 jobs and set schedules to manage their "free time" with side projects? I just don't understand what the intended audience and use case is.

#86What framework is behind the UI may I ask?

If I reschedule all the time, what's the point of having the calendar? =)
Not only that, but I find scheduling too much kills the pleasure of doing things on a whim as well as feeding a growing angst when you keep on postponing stuff. Maybe we should stop trying to live in the future so desperately and just enjoy the present moment. [...] and then I was in time again, hearing the watch.

In that way you'd never be able to get any real work done... Planning is absolutely fundamental in keeping track of long-term tasks. Even just planning for a week helps a lot.

#88I've always been using Google Calendar for planning. Guess this could be an improved version of Google Calendar if everything goes well, and I'll definitely give it a try. Don't think this necessarily have much to do with procrastination, but rather general planning which still is absolutely essential to getting things done.

#89Also if you currently don't plan on monetization anyways why not make it open source. This way everybody benefits. The current functionalities are way too limited. The biggest problem is the limited number of plans, which makes no sense. Planning is only useful when it's divided into small chunks. Lumping everything together into a big term does nothing at all. The current way it's set up, even after I finish a small task I can't free its color up for other plans to use. What's the point if all the finished tasks prevent new tasks from being added? Then I can no longer add new tasks if I don't remove any record about my past activities first? This looks absurd.
