Why this works

Procrastination isn't a time problem or a character flaw — it's a mood-repair habit: the task feels bad, avoiding it feels better right now, and the relief keeps the loop running. This program re-engineers the mechanics: shrink the start until the feeling stops mattering, schedule it so intention isn't in charge, and let your own start log prove the dread was overbidding. One minute of logging a day, three short sessions a week.

Your answers are encrypted and never sold. No ads. If you’re in crisis, this program isn’t the right help — local emergency services are.

Also available in Untangle — one purchase, both places, progress in sync.
