Show HN - A side project I built to help with my laziness/procrastination

I thought I'd share a side project I've been work on recently.

I've always struggled with procrastination. The final straw came last year when I forgot to book an MOT for my campervan, resulting in a cancelled weekend away, grief from my wife and kids and a realisation that I needed to address my procrastination problem.

So, I did what all good software engineers do: I spent a weekend hacking together a small reminder service.

The service emails me 12 weeks before, 8 weeks before, 5 weeks before, 3 weeks before, 2 weeks before, and 1 week before an important deadline. I can also choose daily reminders on the same 12, 8, 5, 3, 2, 1 schedule.

I have found that this increasingly frequent nagging helps me focus on important tasks and I haven't missed any renewals or deadlines since.

Following feedback from people I have shared the idea with, I put some more effort into the service and built remindify.co

Thanks! Matt
