# habits and productivity

the second most recurring theme: systems for making yourself more effective through habit formation, reminders, and automation. the [[universal-habits|universal habits]] idea is the center of gravity — a context-aware system that knows when and how to remind you of behaviors you want to reinforce.

[[pause|Pause]] was built and shipped as the simplest instantiation. the [[ifttt-personal|personal IFTTT]] provides the automation backbone. [[invoking-thoughts|invoking/imprinting thoughts]] pushes into emotional-sensory territory for deeper habit encoding. the [[life-planning-app|life planning app]] and [[task-scheduler|task scheduler]] handle the planning layer. [[cookedness-tracker|cookedness tracker]] and [[anti-scrolling|anti-scrolling tool]] are specific intervention points.

the key unsolved problem: how to remind yourself of mindset habits ("think of other perspectives") that cannot be externally triggered — this is where [[invoking-thoughts|sensory memory replay]] becomes interesting.
