Automatic mindfullness generator

(Sorry, mindfulness.) Okay, maybe this is a dumb idea, but I've been trying to be more mindful and self-aware throughout my everyday life, particularly recently as I have been both overeating and been easily overwhelmed by various work/career stresses. It's hard to remember to be mindful. Along the lines of the (10+2)*5 procrastination hack (search on 43folders if you don't know it) I've thought, what I want is a little, discrete automatic mindfulness reminder device. Look at this: The idea: small vibrating alarm timer that will go off every 15 minutes or so, that I can keep in my pocket or on my wrist or smth. like that. Dumb? Maybe. Anyone have any thoughts on this? 7 Comments

Is it just me, or is the idea of "automatic mindfulness" oxymoronic? If something is truly automatic, can we be mindful of it? If we are mindful, is it actually automatic? I like the idea, but the semantics are silly. » POSTED IN:
