Acty is here to help with your procrastination. Unlike other anti-procrastination apps, we will not try to induce "discipline" or track your habits. Procrastination is not about laziness or time management. It is about fears and unpleasant emotions. We will identify the core reason for your avoidance and develop a way to address it, so you understand the real conflict or fear you are facing. Which will lead to less procrastination and more action.
