Your anti-akrasia system is driven by shame? In designing an ideal solution, this wouldn’t be one of the must-have features I would add into it.
Any questions are welcome.
Have you considered understanding why you procrastinate and then eliminating that reason?
To quote EY from another context:
“”“Explanations are supposed to make you less confused. If you feel like you don’t understand something, this indicates a problem—either with you, or your teacher—but at any rate a problem; and you should move to resolve the problem. “””
This mutuwell isn’t helping you move to understand or resolve the problem, it’s only helping you patch the problem while you try to carry on ignoring it.
I don’t know anyone who tried the Orwellian mutual screen capture thing before, but I won’t be surprised if a lot of people are already quietly practicing it.
Peter Cochrance, former head of research at BT, describes a related system in his book 101 Tips for Time Travellers, where he experimented with putting a webcam in his office so anyone could see what he was doing at any time. Not quite mutual, but similarly based on the idea of being watched by someone other than an immediate supervisor as an alternate way of working.
