#78Why don't you hire us a babysitter too? Is this a website for you to get useful information and networking, or your own little kindergarden, where you have to manage other peoples time? Does having millions of dollars not give you enough opportunities to control other peoples lives?
Hire a hooker and leave us out of your creepy desire to control other people and what they do with there time. I can manage my own time.

#79What about an option to disallow override on noprocrast? I find it a very useful feature, but sometimes I click override when I know I should probably be working. A way to effectively ban myself by removing the override option (by choice) would be effective for those of us worried about YC being a time-sink. You could log out of your account if it was that important, but it seems like putting another barrier in-place…
A good solution would force the user to become acutely aware of what he is about to do and give him time to regain enough discipline to stop.
Perhaps it would help if the user were forced to watch a video about procrastination or answer a series of relevant or time consuming questions before proceeding to override noprocrast.
