Poll: Allow override of noprocrast?
I recently got rid of the override option on noprocrast. Should I put it back?
I wouldn't care about the override, except that I often have to refer back to previous topics for some technical advice, or end up coming across news.YC from a Google search. It's really frustrating to hit the noprocrast timeout in those cases, particularly since I'm usually doing work at the time.
The procrast thing always seemed insanely odd to me. It's trivial to override and it seems like a diet plan akin to writing "don't eat me" on all the junk food in your house.
Read HN or do not. There is noprocrast.
Agreed. I imagine an ad, seen by a character in a Philip K. Dick novel:
"Noprocrast! The best way for current you to impose your will on future you, guaranteed! For the disciplinarian in all of us, at last, a ready and willing subject!"
A couple weeks ago I gave my buddy $20, if I get my app out for sale by the end of the month I get it back, if not he spends it.
Sometimes I pull up the site and it gently reminds me that I've spent a lot of time reading it lately.
Other times it's the weekend or I've left my window open for a while (is this how it works?) and I'd like to get back to the site. I've disabled the feature for now since there's no override.
Discipline, people, discipline.
But, no, I'd just as soon not have override at all.
