The Procrastinator’s Clock
It’s safe to say that quite a few entrepreneurs switch into procrastination mode every now and then. It’s hard not to make excuses if you don’t enjoy the task at hand or are surrounded by distractions.
David Seah, creator of The Printable CEO and many other productivity tools, has just released what he calls the Procrastinator’s Clock. It stands out in the world of clocks because of a little trick it plays on your mind.
The clock can be up to 15 minutes ahead of your regular clocks. But that’s not the kicker. It also speeds up and slows down unannounced. So if the pressure of a flashing colon helps push you, tricking yourself into thinking that you’re 12, no, 14, no, 9, no, 15, yes, 15 minutes ahead of schedule, can really boost your mood and efficiency.

the problem is that I just say what am I doing I can just look at the real clock and find out the real time.
I’m too stupid to trick myself.

That’s so bizarre, it might just work.

You could always ask a friend of yours to go through your house and change all of your clocks to a randomly chosen interval more/less.
It is kinda based on fear though which will probably just end up stressing you more.
