  • My struggle from 2025-07-22 meditation open questions was “how do I sit for more than 20 minutes? I get so restless”
  • So, I had the idea to vibe-code a thing that takes a photo of me every 5 mins with a timestamp, that I could send to friends
  • So I message them like “I’m gonna meditate for 1 hour and if I fail I’ll pay you both £10”, and then I send them the proof gif, e.g.

Sit 1

Sit 2

Sit 3

So… this solves it?

  • This seems to solve problem 1, which is like “I know 1 hour sits are kind of the ideal length, and I can do them when on a retreat or in a cohort, but I can’t do them solo”
  • Now I can!
  • Now it’s just a case of doing them daily. Because I wrote Should I meditate regularly?, I still feel consensus to meditate → I have internal alignment re: the profundity. So, this currently feels like a solved thing → I want to do it daily, I have a good accountability mechanism, boom
  • I also have Meditation log to show that I’ve meditated daily
