App Idea (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

A task list app that whenever you miss a deadline it picks a random contact from your phone and sends them a message (from you) calling them a shithead. If the same task is delayed multiple times it gets more and more rude in that message.

But then they’ll probably reply to it and now I’ve got this text that I’m going to be stressed about forgetting to reply to and I’ll miss more deadlines because my executive dysfunction will start putting off things til after I respond to that text a few months from now.

This is like fucking in public. You might get a thrill from it, but you're basically involving a bunch of people that havn't consented into your sex life, which is a real dick move. Inflicting your deeply personal shit onto other people without asking them is never a good thing.

The above seems like a sure fire way to maximize the shame about your mental health while also pissing off lots of people you know. Probally not a good direction to go in.

If you need help and encouragment to finish your tasks, maybe talk to one of your contacts beforehand and ask them to check in on you? People might be willing to help, and it involves them upfront, instead of putting them on a tripwire for shitty messages that might lose you that friend.

That's a recipe for a disaster. Better to just quit already than wait for the inevitable and get fired.

Or, I don't know, some words of encouragement? A stick doesn't always work, sometimes you need a carrot. But, I like the idea. For other people...
