Reinventing my weekly planners [a few approaches that worked for me]

stretchly

There are things like EyeLeo, Workrave, Eyes Relax, and most recently, Stretchly (free, open source, windows, mac, linux) that can be configured to be silent - they're mostly meant as reminders to rest your eyes, but they're equally useful for "oh shit I've been looking at houseboat prices for 20 minutes already". And in case of Stretchly it can go away with just pressing Ctrl-X on windows, so nobody has to know (unless you're sharing your screen - and even then, when it happened in my workplace, people loved it and started using themselves without me pushing it).

750 Words

Thanks for the feedback! Maybe some day you'll like doing 750 words (not my project) - a few years back I used it at some point and it has a very therapeutic effect for a while, but I couldn't keep doing it daily because I ran out of things to say (also maybe I was too depressed at the time to have, yk, thoughts). Sadly takes longer than your 2 minute thing, which sounds really good! I'll probably try to do that in some form.
