I thought about this just a few days ago and I thought I would like to ha e a personal assistant which tells my brain what Todo.

Like when I look at my watch it says 'work' and that should help me to allow myself to focus on work because I know my assistant will also 'schedule' news reading and other things.

Otherwise I'm constantly thinking and rethink ing what I want to do and end watching some yt because I'm to unmotivated at the evening to do something else.

Supporting this by visual cues around the flat with smart lights.

Of course just another, probably not working, tool for antiprocrastination.

With the stamina of the author (doing sport, playing instrument and keeping book for so long) I might not need a tool just his stamina :D

I thought of this too, but with scheduling as well. So I could add "buy gloves", and it will try to fit it into the schedule and optimise it for when I'd be close to a shopping centre (e.g. for flat visits or groceries, etc.).

Same for wanting to do 5 hours of exercise a week, around work hours. What to focus on within working hours, etc.

With Alexa and Google Calendar, we're pretty close already.

For me, having something visible constantly in written form looses it's meaning and purpose after a while. Sticky notes notes on the fridge for example simply become invisible.
For me as well :-(

But surprised how good the smartwatch vibration works for "time to move".

But just an hour ago I thought how I could tell Plex to stop playing and showing a screenshot to say 'its time, your show will continue in 30 minutes.' or the Amazon fire tv.

Might be doable with writing a Kodi plugin.
