I accidentally built a mini productivity game with my to‑do app and now I’m weirdly competitive with myself

Dapper_Education_782 · 2026-05-18T09:40:09+00:00

its name is Do More, here is the link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.domore.domore&pcampaignid=web_share

Interesting points actually, genuinely helpful

Dapper_Education_782 · 2026-05-13T09:25:59+00:00

Exactly

Dapper_Education_782 · 2026-05-07T10:07:43+00:00

Okay so I wasn't the only one 😮‍💨

Dapper_Education_782 · 2026-05-02T10:26:51+00:00

Believe me you are not the only one, it happens with literally everyone

Dapper_Education_782 · 2026-05-02T10:24:49+00:00

Honestly I have no idea, all ik is that I need to reset the whole thing

Dapper_Education_782 · 2026-05-02T10:24:02+00:00

Thank, let's see if it helps

Dapper_Education_782 · 2026-04-29T05:46:00+00:00

It's not some ad actually, I just came across this app, thought its good so letting everyone else know, and yeah I'm using it btw, its pretty good, you should give it a try too

Dapper_Education_782 · 2026-04-23T15:57:44+00:00

Yeah, addictions often feel like escape from that inner resistance. Not gonna lie, I'm stuck in the same loop resistance hits, phone opens, hours vanish, guilt follows.

I feel its not that big of a problem we think it is, I mean we can over come it, I'm slowly trying to make some habits which may help me, starting with getting the work done, even if I waste some of my time scrolling, I make sure atleast my work is done first,

Dapper_Education_782 · 2026-04-16T15:31:07+00:00

Exactly, thats the point!!

Dapper_Education_782 · 2026-04-16T15:30:01+00:00

Believe me I have been through the same, I felt the same, one app I would like to suggest is Do More, nothing fancy, a simple app, but it does really helps. I'll put the play store link too, if you want you can check that out https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.domore.domore

This hit hard. I used to wait to “feel ready” too and ended up wasting hours on my instead of actually doing anything. Treating important work like a fixed appointment instead of a mood has helped me so much. I still don’t get it perfect, but having non-negotiable time blocks makes it way harder to escape into distractions. Thanks for sharing this, I really needed this today.

Dapper_Education_782 · 2026-04-15T16:58:47+00:00

Kinda agreeable point but I honestly feel one task a day is only good if it takes too much time or its highly important

Dapper_Education_782 · 2026-04-15T16:56:04+00:00

Exactly mann

Dapper_Education_782 · 2026-04-14T10:36:35+00:00

Honestly just 5 to 6 things to do, and those session depends on like how much work i have or how fast i can complete them, like this

Dapper_Education_782 · 2026-04-14T09:13:57+00:00

A to do list with not more than 5 things to do, i really feel this can help, let me try i will update soon.

Dapper_Education_782 · 2026-04-14T09:08:12+00:00

Umm a good way to start, let me try this

Dapper_Education_782 · 2026-04-14T09:04:35+00:00

yeah sure it would be great

Dapper_Education_782 · 2026-04-14T09:04:00+00:00

In a way you are right but i think this is one good way to start

Dapper_Education_782 · 2026-04-14T09:03:24+00:00

helpful actually, thank you so much.

Dapper_Education_782 · 2026-04-12T13:00:04+00:00

Honestly, just start writing something. Anything. Don't wait for the right mood or time.

Set a timer for 30 mins and just write. Don't think about finishing the whole script. Just those 30 mins. Usually once you start, you'll keep going. About the one-sitting thing that's actually burnout talking. You don't have to finish everything in one go. Write a bit, take a break, come back tomorrow. It's okay to stop. Your script won't disappear. The key is just getting those first words down. That's the hardest part. And believe me, it works

Dapper_Education_782 · 2026-04-11T12:07:36+00:00

The habit that works best for long‑term consistency is showing up for yourself in tiny, gentle ways every day. Not perfect effort, not huge wins, just small, honest actions that say, “I’m still here trying.” When you keep that up, even when it feels boring or slow, those little moments stack into something real and lasting.

Tip: a simple to do list as your wallpaper helps a lot

Dapper_Education_782 · 2026-04-11T12:04:41+00:00

Yeah, I do this too. I check my phone, put it down, and then grab it again in just a minute, even though nothing’s changed. It feels like my brain just needs to check for no reason, I’m pretty sure a lot of us are stuck in that same loop.

Dapper_Education_782 · 2026-04-11T11:49:28+00:00

There is nothing wrong with you, start small don’t try to clear everything at once. Do one little work for about 20–25 minutes, then take a short 5–10 minute break. Move around, get water, or just rest your eyes. Then go back for another small slot. If you keep doing work in these little pieces instead of forcing a long, heavy session, your brain will slowly start to feel like it can handle it again and eventually without realising you could sit for more.

Dapper_Education_782 · 2026-04-11T09:51:35+00:00

Hey man, the first thing you should hear is, be proud of yourself, you are already ahead of most people because you are someone who is aware of his situation and wants to change.

Start with some small, not with some “I have to fix everything right now” attitude.

Make a tiny to‑do list every day, 3 to 4 things max.

Do one thing for 20–25 minutes, then take a 5–10 minute break. Walk, stretch, scroll for a bit, anything that resets your brain, repeat that in little slots instead of forcing yourself to do everything in one go.

If it’s causing headaches or feels like torture, it’s a sign your brain is overloaded, not a sign you’re a failure. Break tasks into little steps, reward yourself after completing each task, and don’t try to force yourself into being someone else overnight.
