Perk
Perk is a task-planning system that improves our preparation abilities to combat our expectation of immediacy.
With today’s focus on instant results, it is easy to stray from pursuing good things because of the time required to complete them. This expectation of immediacy distorts our understanding of the time and effort it takes to complete tasks. Perk is a task-planning system that aims to retrain our brains against this immediacy, starting in the productivity space.
Perk involves three components: a digital planner, a physical timer, and a productivity report. The digital planner allows you to organize your tasks and implement a system to reward yourself. The timer helps you to build better time-perception accuracy in determining how long specific tasks take to complete. The productivity report serves as a feedback loop that further motivates you with insight into your growth, providing an additional reward.
Using Perk reduces the stress and uncertainty associated with tasks and helps you build the impulse control and self-regulation needed to resist immediacy bias in all areas of life.
