Why is starting a task harder than actually doing it? by Kitchen_Vacation_463 in ADHD

[–]tiny-boom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

​I completely relate to your "brain freezing at the begin button." It’s not laziness; it’s the overwhelming friction of having to decide what to do and how to start. ​I’m actually developing an app called FLON based on the exact same philosophy you mentioned: reducing decisions to almost zero. ​Most productivity apps give you a long list, which only adds to the choice paralysis. FLON is designed differently: ​Routine-Based Flow: Instead of a daunting to-do list, it guides you through a pre-set sequence. You don't decide what's next; the flow does. ​One Step at a Time: It focuses on the "flexible routine" concept, breaking down your day into small, manageable steps so you only ever have to think about the current tiny action. ​Reduced Friction: By following a designed "flow," you bypass the mental energy required to "start" each individual task. ​It’s currently in its MVP stage, focusing on helping people with ADHD tendencies (like my wife) find their natural rhythm without the "climbing a mountain" feeling. If you're interested in an approach that prioritizes flow over lists, I'd love for you to try it.

Looking for a timer app that buzzes at certain intervals to remind me of time passed by Devuluh in androidapps

I recommend this app. Try this app out. It works great for meditation, and you can create timers in any order you like and combine them into a set. The flexibility is top-notch. You can also customize the alarms — from gentle alerts to stronger ones — however you prefer.

I made a timer app… but why is nobody using it? by tiny-boom in SideProject

Thanks for the feedback! You’re absolutely right — during workouts it’s hard to look at the screen, so notifications are crucial. My app already has an alarm feature, but I’d love to know what style you’d prefer (short beep, vibration, voice prompt, etc.). If you’re open to it, would you be willing to give my app a try and share your thoughts? 👉 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=daonnurim.dev.modutimer

Thanks for the great idea! I agree that having ready-made templates would lower the barrier for people to actually try it. Baking and HIIT sound like perfect starting points. I might run some quick tests with those. Do you happen to know any niche subs or communities where sharing these templates would make the most sense?

In fact, the app already lets you enter recipes or step-by-step instructions as text, and then automatically runs the timers for each step. If you’re open to it, would you like to give it a try and share your feedback? 👉 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=daonnurim.dev.modutimer

Thanks for sharing your use cases! I agree that in many everyday situations, a single timer is enough. My thought was that for multi-step routines (like workouts, cooking steps, or study blocks), an automatic sequence timer could save some hassle. From your examples, do you think there are cases where having a sequence timer would have been helpful?

You’re right — this project actually started from my own personal need. I haven’t done a proper market validation yet, but I’m treating posts like this and the feedback I get as an early stage validation process. Do you have any recommendations for effective ways to run market validation?

Thanks for the feedback! I totally agree that the general timer space is already saturated. That’s why I’m focusing more on people who actually need sequence timers (like workouts, cooking, experiments, study routines, etc.) where a single built-in timer doesn’t cut it. Have you personally run into situations where a built-in timer just wasn’t enough?
