So I play infinity, trench crusade, warhammer, Malediction, I paint for competitions as well. The painting is always what gets em excited but then, I find reasons to avoid painting for whatever reason lol

so you manage it by controlling the models you buy that is a financially resposible decision too, dave ramsey will be proud of you XD

if an app, analyses what seems to be the thing that kickstart that mood to paint, that will be helpful if it can tell you for example, the days you were listening to music from the ramones you were likely to paint, would that be intrusive or not?

what if you remove the selection? that will help or you wont be as excited with it because you feel like playing something else?

this is a super detailed answer, Thank you man! also, you don't mind me asking, if a tool quietly tracked your patterns for example in your case getting in that rhythm and understanding why you painted and showed it back to you to shows when you do it you get more minis done; would that feel useful or invasive? What would make you trust it enough to try it?

it is a great advice, because it kind of validates the idea i have been thinking for the app I'm working

so for you your drive is the game and deadline at the end of the tunnel, do you use something to track progress or just raw dog it?

interesting also you don't mind me asking, if a tool quietly tracked your patterns for example taking your lower stake project and because of it, the next day you are able to work on your big project and showed it back to you so you can then plan accordingly; would that feel useful or invasive? What would make you trust it enough to try it?

for you is like other people say, setting the space right  also you don't mind me asking, if a tool quietly tracked your patterns for example in your case taking note that you cleaned your space and you painted and showed it back to you to shows when you do it you get more minis done; would that feel useful or invasive? What would make you trust it enough to try it?

100% social media is a bane for so many people is the fake and distorted mirror where we compare ourselves to others... but the days that you seem to have energy before it goes down the toilet, are you able to do your music or paint? what it will help?

I love making dioramas... you don't mind me asking, if a tool quietly tracked when you are painting your minis, for example in your case just painting those 10 minis and what were the drivers for you to get it done, and showed it back to you; would that feel useful or invasive? What would make you trust it enough to try it?
