When you have something you need to do but can't get yourself to start, what's actually going on in your head?
*
What actually helps you start, when something does work?

Just doing 5 minutes and telling myself I can stop
A deadline or someone waiting on me
Doing it alongside someone else
Having no other choice left
Honestly, nothing reliably works
Other
What do you personally do, day to day, to keep your ADHD or focus struggles in check? What actually works for you?
*
After a day you don't get something done, what usually happens?
*
I feel guilty and it makes tomorrow harder
I brush it off and move on
I stop using whatever app or system I had going
Depends on the day
A few ideas I'm working on
Instead of a streak number or checklist, imagine your focused time slowly grows a little tree, like a garden filling in over time as you work. How does that land for you?
*
That would genuinely motivate me
Neutral, wouldn't change much for me
Feels gimmicky to me
On a day you don't get anything done, what would you rather see?
*
Just leave it blank, no reminder
A gentle reminder would actually help
Doesn't matter to me
Choosing your own focus length each time (5, 10, 25, or 50 minutes) versus one fixed length, which would you want?
*
Let me pick each time
Keep it fixed, simpler
Doesn't matter to me
A daily check-in that just asks if you drank water, ate something, moved a bit, and slept okay. How would that feel?
*
Supportive, I'd actually like that
Neutral
Feels like nagging
If the app gently stopped celebrating extra hours after a point, like 6 hours in one day, so it's not quietly egging you on to overwork, how would that feel?
*
Feels like it's looking out for me
Neutral
Feels controlling
Last thing
What would actually make you keep using an app like this instead of deleting it in a week?
*
Want early access when this is ready?
