In this age of social media and screens everywhere you look, I found myself spending more and more time consumed by them. As the years went by, I began to realize I was wasting valuable moments staring at my computer or mindlessly doomscrolling.
These apps do change your brain. You pick up your phone just to pick it up. You open an app and close it, and then open it again, just because your brain wanted to do something.
With the rate technology is moving, I don't see screens going away anytime soon. I also don't want the future to end up like WALL-E, with people living a totally sedentary, screen-filled lifestyle. And while that scene may be a bit of an exaggeration, I don't believe it is too far off what could be our world someday.
So I decided to make DoHardStuff. Its goal is not only to make you earn time on apps or sites you spend too much of your time on, but also to help start your day doing real, productive activities. In this attention economy, the world needs some software that pushes people to experience the real world.
I'm writing this before the initial public release. I hope you enjoy DoHardStuff, and that it helps you live a more fulfilling life.
