New productivity app idea:
Your normal to-do tracking app, with the ability to flag tasks with priorities. (I like NotePlan, and tag tasks with either !!!, !!, !, or no priority.)
When anything flagged as top priority (!!!) remains uncompleted for 1 week, it automatically gets pinned to the top of the view, so you can't avoid it.
When that top priority task is uncompleted for 2 weeks (!!!), ALL YOUR OTHER TASKS are hidden, forcing you to confront the big, scary task you've been avoiding, despite acknowledging its importance.
Should you STILL not complete that high priority task after 3 weeks, everything in your life starts to fall apart: your baseline assumptions about who you are and why you exist crumble around you, and suddenly finding the “right” productivity system doesn’t seem so important anymore.

P.S. Yes, I wrote this nonsense in lieu of completing my current Big Scary Task, why do you ask???
