I wonder if there is a way you can use this idea for self improvement. Just a lucid idea floating around while reading this.
You can definitely use it to make yourself worse by enabling all phone notifications.
I think a third party would need to be involved to provide the feedback, but I can imagine it works on a similar principle to stuff like star charts.
It certainly can, though I think part of why clickers are used with dogs is that their ability to communicate is more limited and our ability to communicate with them is magnitudes more limited than that. With other humans, higher-order communications can be systematized, so there's more we can accomplish.
