I rly like the idea of making songs to powerfwly remind urself abt things. TODO.
Step 1: Set an alarm for the morning. Step 2: Set the alarm tone for this song. Step 3: Make the alarm snooze for 30 minutes after the song has played. Step 4: Make the alarm only dismissable with solving a puzzle. Step 5: Only ever dismiss the alarm after you already left the house for the walk. Step 6: Always have an umbrella for when it is rainy, and have an alternative route without muddy roads.
I currently (until I get around to making a better system...) have an AI voice say reminders to myself based on calendar events I’ve set up to repeat every day (or any period I’ve defined). The event description is JSON, and if ‘”prompt”: “Time to take a walk!”’ is nonempty, the voice says what’s in the prompt.
I don’t have any routines that are too forcefwl (like “only dismissable with solving a puzzle”), because I want to minimize whip and maximize carrot. If I can only do what’s good bc I force myself to do it, it’s much less effective compared to if I just *want* to do what’s good all the time.
...But whip can often be effective, so I don’t recommend never using it. I’m just especially weak to it, due to not having much social backup-motivation, and a heavy tendency to fall into deep depressive equilibria.
