I keep
burning
out
the same

Mac menubar app. When it detects a pattern, it takes over the screen. No dismiss button. You complete the action or you don't close it.

01Avoidance
I stop messaging people I want to talk to. The app notices, drafts the message. Screen locks until I send it.
02Silence
Four ships in a week, zero posts. The app lists what I've built and makes me tell someone before it closes.
03Frenetic
Both happen in the same week. I'm not productive — I'm running scared. App makes me name one thing I'll drop.
