Paritose uses camera input to detect when users look away or use their phone, then triggers a loud alarm until the user refocuses. Unlike other productivity apps that use point deductions or other such features, Paritose provides a real-time consequence that is actually unpleasant. The unpleasant experience motivates and forces users to stay focused. Paritose also has other productivity features such as a pomodoro timer and a to-do list for user convenience.
There are many creative ways to motivate yourself to stay productive. My way is to go to a public area (without headphones) and use my website. I'm terrified of embarrassment, so I know doing this helps me stay focused because if the website detects that i'm distracted the alarm will start blaring. What are ways you encourage yourself to be productive? Would this work for you?
I'm also thinking of adding features where users can earn things like music and phone time for being productive and lose things like snacking privileges if they get distracted. Thoughts?
