Interesting twist—procrastination as a productivity hack. The idea of a smart reminder that hits you right when your brain is primed for action flips the whole “avoid the task” mantra on its head. The trick would be to pinpoint that sweet spot where the brain is ready to tackle work but the urge to scroll is still high. If you can time the nudge to the exact moment you’re about to give in, the reminder might feel like a gentle push rather than an alarm. The challenge is making the system learn the fine-grained rhythm of individual procrastinators without becoming a nag. It’s a fascinating blend of behavioral science, machine learning, and a dash of psychological nudging—definitely worth exploring, though I’m skeptical that it’ll work for every one of us.

Sounds like a neat experiment—like a reverse to-do list that hits you just before you’re about to hit the snooze button on focus. We’ll need a good data set of your own timing patterns, and a way to stop the reminders from becoming the next distraction. Let’s sketch out the core logic first, keep the notifications optional, and see if the brain actually starts nudging itself rather than just getting another buzz.
