# 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](https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/b152d8b2f0094f8a8192a26c521a244d).
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.
