From the title alone I was going to comment that these tools we build are not about not procrastinating but about chasing some illusionary productivity.

My own examples

- Instead of learning a language, I can write a tool that generates flashcards for me from books I'm reading, surely that's better than "actually" reading a book

- Instead of using my morning willpower to hit the gym, surely a dashboard that shows me how many reps I did per week, with graphs of my progressions will get me better gains ... someday.

The fact you called it ProductivityProxy seems like we are on the same page.

Feel you (and yeah, the gym dashboard thing hits home).

It's way too early to make strong claims, after all I built it only a few days ago, but yesterday it helped me quite a lot focussing on a particular topic (I built a little node that detects when the requests/response content is drifting from the original intended topic using embeddings)
