No, I’m worried about people hurting themselves doing this, not others. In general I have a lot of concerns around people forcing themselves to do things—my model is that this amounts to some of their parts subjugating other parts, and I both think this is just bad and leads to visibly bad consequences down the line like burning out.
I’m late to this but I wanted to say that I’m glad to see this concern on LW. I have a tendency to burn out whenever I try to do things in The Most Efficient Way (precisely because my Efficient (TM) parts underestimate how much downtime other parts of me need), and I’ve had to avoid LW sometimes in order to get out of a “must do everything efficiently!” spiral.
(That said, I like this idea and will be trying it out and see if it helps or hurts me.)
ETA: I did not try it out after all; I was too worried about causing burnout.
