Hey Product Hunt 👋
I used to get stuck in the same loop every day — open phone “just for a second” → TikTok → hours gone → nothing shipped.
Then I realized something that honestly changed how I think about procrastination:
It’s rarely a discipline problem.
It’s a starting problem.
The hardest part isn’t doing the work.
It’s crossing that first tiny threshold.
So I built ProcrastinationTerminator around that idea.
It’s very simple:
you pick one small task for the day (or get one suggested)
when you try to open TikTok, Instagram, YouTube — they stay locked
they only unlock after that task is done
And there’s this very specific moment it creates:
“Fine… I’ll just do this first.”
What surprised me most is what happens after that.
Once you cross that first tiny threshold, the resistance for the rest of the day just drops. It stops feeling like “forcing discipline” and more like you’ve broken the autopilot loop.
The momentum kind of takes over.
Curious how this lands with others here:
Is procrastination actually about discipline — or is it just that starting feels heavier than everything that comes after?
Would love to hear your thoughts 🙏
Do you set the task daily within the app? Or do you preset it on a weekly or monthly basis?
Forcing focus by locking the phone is a bold bet — love the commitment. Does it let you set the task inside the app or does it pull from an existing task manager? The capture step is always what breaks these tools
