The Iron Fists of Alarm Clocks: Be Afraid…Very Afraid
Posted under Thoughts
Sadly, I’ve recently hit the snooze button a few too many times lately. I haven’t been sleeping as well as normal and a few extra minutes just feels so good.
But if I was a heavy sleeper who couldn’t wake up, I would consider the Tyrant Alarm Clock. I’d shudder a little while placing the order though, because this really is a tyrant. Every three minutes you don’t awake or turn it off, it dials one of your contacts on the phone. Who knows what it says. Who cares? The embarrassment is enough.
It brings new meaning to the words “You’re gonna wake the whole neighborhood.”
What human emotion to we need to spur in order to alert ourselves that we must wake up? Anger could work, but also might result in one very broken alarm clock. The Tyrant Clock uses one of the most feared emotions, humiliation. Forget drunk dialing, this is sleep dialing.

There’s got to be a way to tie this into Acheive-IT!
If you don’t mark a task complete every day on a goal, it’ll start dialing your friends and letting them know you’ll never accomplish your goals. ;-)
How about every time you miss a goal deadline, it sends out a meeting request to a boss or someone you respect that says “meet with Brad to help motivate his lazy @ss.”
Damn, as long it does not your ex-gf or anything like that….
