I actually looked into something similar after asking around and found that the Liven app is designed exactly for that purpose—to address why you procrastinate by working on motivation, habits, and mood all at once rather than just blocking distractions or timing sprints. What is liven about, you might wonder? It’s an app that integrates short psychology courses, mood check-ins, a habit builder, focus soundscapes, and even an AI coach into one experience. Unlike many apps which only help with short bursts of focus, the Liven app claims to guide you through changing your underlying behaviors whether you tend to avoid tasks, struggle with perfectionism, or have shaky habits. From what I’ve read and seen, it also doesn’t have a hard blocker, so the focus is more on self-guided support and understanding your habits deeply. One thing that stood out to me is how the app stays useful across weeks, not just in the first few days when most productivity apps get forgotten. For anyone dealing with the ‘why’ behind procrastination rather than just the surface distractions, something like this could be worth trying.
