About you
I built this simple tool to help me do the things I want to do, but struggle to do. It works for me more than it doesn't. So I'd love to know if it works for you. Or how you would improve it.

The Gatekeeper Method
To help you move from intention to action, the app combines evidence-based strategies into one practical method, working with how your brain decides whether to start. Here's what goes into it:
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Rather than fighting resistance, we acknowledge it while reconnecting with what matters. Values clarification helps you find intrinsic motivation.
Behavioral Activation
Breaking tasks into small, concrete steps reduces overwhelm and builds momentum through gradual exposure. Action often precedes motivation, not the other way around.
Timeboxing
Short, timed work sessions (like the Pomodoro Technique) reduce the perceived burden of starting. Committing to just a few minutes makes beginning feel manageable.
The Control Heuristic
by Luca Dellanna
The basal ganglia evaluates every potential action based on expected emotional outcome. By reframing tasks and adjusting what we anticipate feeling, we can shift the brain's go/no-go decision in our favor.
Implementation Intentions
Specific "when-then" planning dramatically increases follow-through compared to vague intentions.
Motivational Interviewing
Our method-trained AI coach uses reflective questioning to help you discover your own reasons for change, rather than telling you what to do.
But this isn't therapy. You don't need to understand any of the "psychology stuff". It's a practical tool, that uses plain English, to help you do more of what matters to you.

Or get the , once a day for a week.
What can I do here? Time Is Luck uses a proven method to help you beat procrastination. It's a 4 step process that takes about 4 minutes once you're familiar with it. This app is free to use. (We just ask if you find it useful to tell your friends).
How does it work? The app asks you a handful of short questions. All related to the task you're procrastinating on. These questions will change how different parts of your brain perceive it. Then you break your task into tiny actionable steps and use a timer to fire through them until you pick up momentum. If you get stuck along the way, it will help you get unstuck. That's it. It's the simplest, most effective and practical way to get hard things done and retrain your brain. You can read about the science behind the method here.
This is a personal topic, is my information private? Yes. Everything you type stays in your browser only. Nothing is sent to us or seen by us. No account is needed to use the app. Your answers are not stored in your browser history or cache. Technically they're stored in a separate area called local storage, which is only accessible on your device and only on the timeisluck.app page.
Is there a catch? No catch. The core app is completely free. A Pro option exists if you decide you want specialist assistance from our method-trained AI coach and some extra planning and saving features in the future, but it's an option not a requirement. You can even download a mobile version for iOS or Android. (Click the menu in the top right corner)
