It's like the Pomodoro technique, but with peer pressure of the Pomodoro timer being disappointed if you bail. Not wanting to let someone else down, even a stranger, I can see how that would help you stick to it. Brilliant!

You're right! Most of what I described is common to the Pomodoro technique. I was never able to stick to the Pomodoro technique. The accountability of the timer being a person is huge.

It's weird (but true) that disappointing a random person is more motivating to me than doing what I told myself I would do.
