i think this is pointless.

do whatever you want, you aren't a robot that could understand 'oh wow, i spend a lot of time watching youtube! I should study instead'

nobody would follow/pay for this, people know when they are procrastinating and wasting time

Hi, I totally agree with you that nobody would pay for tracking their time. Infact, a lot of free tools are already available to do the same. People know when they're wasting time and often want to (because of boredom). I'm just wondering if it's possible to build tools that can help people take decisions ahead of time which changes their behaviour (maybe with a little bit of properly designed gamification). Thoughts ?
