Where meatball outperforms

Existing productivity tools are built by productive people for "normal" people. They reward you for doing more of what you already know. Or blame you of being lazy.
But what about the thing you’re actually afraid of? What about the dream you keep putting off? What about your true potential?

The driven (founders, working parents, students) and the different (ADHD) need follow through.
