I Built a Tool That Forces Me to Stop Procrastinating (Here’s How)

The Problem

We track time, but we don’t track attention.

The Idea

What if a system could detect distraction in real time?

The Build

  • Chrome extension for tracking
  • React dashboard for analytics
  • MutationObserver for anti-bypass logic

The Twist

Instead of just tracking…
It intervenes.

Final Thought

Productivity isn’t about time.
It’s about attention.
