I made Make It Count, a daily email to fight procrastination.
It sends you a daily reminder with how much time is left in your year, quarter, month, and week.
I built it because procrastination often comes from feeling like there’s always more time later. This is a small way to make time more visible, reflect on what matters, and start the day with more intention.
Hello, I’m the author of the post. I spent quite a bit of time looking for an interesting way to execute my tasks, and I ended up building this small free tool. I hope it will be useful to others!
Feel free to share any improvement ideas or let me know if you spot any bugs.
I think we can talk about feedback without input, yes. The reality of feedback is actually very broad. If we just look at the world of video games, and consider all the different types that exist, there is a wide variety of feedback, some more or less tied to input. In some cases, like narrative games, the feedback is much less connected to the input than in a fast-paced FPS, for example.
I wrote this article precisely because, for once, I found a system that actually sticks. I have been using it every day for six months, whereas other systems would last a week at most.
Yes, it is possible, but if you print directly from the browser, you cannot tell the printer when to cut.
In my case, I generate multiple images and tell the printer when to cut. I also have another version without images. The difference between the two is that the version without images is two to three times faster to print.
I completely relate to what you are saying. I do not use Markdown, but I use Notion because I find it just a little more convenient. But with my software, I am actually trying to reach the same speed as Markdown for advanced users. I have coded dozens of keyboard shortcuts to handle all the actions.
Yes, the feeling of having made progress is so important. That little thing can sometimes be enough to lift our spirits on a day when we are not feeling our best.
Yes, I was familiar with the concept of INCUP, but I had never seen it summarized so simply.
As for variable interval rewards, I knew about the concept, but I did not include it in the article because it is already too long, and also because I have not yet found a smart way to use it in my productivity system.
I agree with everything you wrote. But for many people, giving up what entertains them is just not possible. That is why I think my method can really help those people. Thank you for this very interesting comment.
As for the paper, you need to choose one that is bisphenol-free, otherwise it is obviously problematic.

I’d love to hear what you think :)
