I have been using BaaS for about 2 weeks now. Its a game changer. I knew about the service for awhile, but the fee seemed steep (although completely fair, these are humans doing a job, after all) when I was a student. I decided to try it now that I have a steady job and let me tell you, the 25 bucks is well worth it, I wish I had given myself this tool when I was still a student! I dont use BaaS for work, but for how I spent my time after work. Harshita helps me make my days fullfilling and fun by motivating me to actually engage in my hobbies and self care, instead of stewing in my ADHD paralysis, doom scrolling for 6 hours and then going to bed.
The service: I sent my Boss my todo's in the morning over whatsapp. I also have some recurring tasks going. I text her pictures and videos throughout the day as proof for completing the tasks. She cheers me on and reminds me about the things I still have to do. We are dealing with a bit of a time difference and shes free on sundays, but she answers everything eventually.
This definitely only works for a certain type of person. My roommate immediately said "you pay her.. So why would you do what she says"... Yeah, this wouldnt work for her. But if having someone else witness you failing on a daily basis (while being strangely okay with watching yourself fail) sounds like hell to you, this is really going to help. In the past 13 days, Ive only skipped one run (which I made up for the next day). Ive painted, Ive read, Ive cleaned my house for 15 minutes every day instead of letting it get so bad I need the entire sunday to clean up. I sent my todo list to Harshita in the morning and dont have to spend energy during the day on convincing myself to do any of it. I dont have to spend energy on being sad about another day wasted.
It saves you so much energy and time (and money, if you make a big weekly grocery run one of your todo's, pro tip), that I truly believe this service could turn a lot of peoples lives around.
