Procrastinating - why not start FocusMaxing instead? A premium, action-oriented tool for overcoming procrastination when stuck. The app's goal is to give you everything you need to start what you have to do right now, and limit the amount of pain on the way there. It seeks to create a sense of real motivation when dealing with tasks that are GENUINELY AWFUL, and have ZERO INHERENT VALUE, like COOKING, CLEANING, and STUDYING. Zone Management (developed in-house; for time blindness), Start AI (to learn about yourself), Tri-timer (developed in-house; for task-state management), and much more to help you get going with what you want to do! “I just need to start… why can’t I start?” “It will take 5 minutes… why am I still not doing it?” “I’ve been scrolling for 3 hours feeling guilty the entire time. -Let´s scroll some more” “I’ll start at 14:00… oh it’s 14:03. I’ll wait until 15:00- but then i´m going” “The whole day just disappeared.” “There are 20 things to do, but i can´t pick one.” *For students:* “I´ll do it in the evening, i´ll have more energy then…” “I should sleep, but I can’t put my phone down.” “I wasted the whole day again.” “Let´s scroll some more…” FocusMaxing: - Tool to help you get going there and then, as well as manage time-blindness in the longer term. - You´ll see exactly how long to focus before you should feel good about yourself. - You know how much is enough - You know when you’re done.
