My Phone Will Spam You If I Fail To Exercise By 3PM

That's right. My phone sends annoying text messages to my friends if I don't log a workout by 3PM.

Try it yourself. To add friends as spam targets, write "Tattle." somewhere in their contact notes. Use "Automations" in the Shortcuts app to trigger it on a recurring schedule.

It's strange how this motivates me -- I'm not seeking encouragement nor validation here. My brain simply converts the situation to "I must do pushups to save my friends from my spam robot".

Whatever works.
