Here's the thing: sometimes I forget the timer is running and I wake up to "You've been working on [project X] for 28 hours".

I wish I could work that way! Sadly, I have client obligations that aren't always the most exciting thing I want to be working on. But they pay the bills.

I don't disagree that that might help. But I think this is more of a realization that I want to use AI... less?
