I constantly forget to take showers due to depression. I know I'm not the only one ๐ summer is early here in Texas and I don't want to be the stinky dude
Uses the humidity readings of my bathroom to determine whether I was in the shower:
- A running 1 hour average of the bathroom humidity is measured.
- If the current humidity is 8% above the average, it is triggered as "wet".
- Then it marks down the last time, and then converts that to "days & hours since" last shower.
I have a badge at the top of my main dashboard that will let me know how long it's been. It's already been useful. If I see anything over 2 days I know it's past time for a shower
I got a false positive from washing my hands when it was set to trigger by 5% increases, so I changed it to 8%.
Happy to share my code if anyone wants to do the same!
Edit: code in a comment below!
If you want to hijack your depressed reward system further, you could try to show a streak of how many days you've gone without missing a shower.
Why not try a challenge for how long you can go without a shower?
I already felt this urge to get the "high score" LOL
I think that's the opposite of what OP wants but still a nice technical challenge nonetheless
For me streaks are a double edged sword; if I break a streak then the stat becomes a disincentive
I actually have that too. I stopped using duolingo because I got so obcesed with my streak that once I broke it I lost all will to use it anymore.
I have that same problem. I feel like nobody else I talk to understands what I'm saying.
Good idea! I aim for 2 days. My skin and hair hate Texas water
dude when i lived in texas i had to shower twice a day i got so greasy
pro tip for texas summers: dont go outside :)
i had to take the bus :(
Maybe an option for every other day too
Or just trigger a machine which dispenses a treat whenever โwetโ is detected
