woopsytime - Track the bad habits you want to change

I don't know if this is feasible but before I even begin exploring, I want to dump my idea out. This is definitely in the "whacky" territory!

woopsytime is a Chrome extension which tracks the time you spent on your own list of defined domains and submits timed visits to an API

What API is that? I don't think it'll be GitHub. A sort of key-value store with a unique identifier

You will then run a GitHub Action periodically to fetch data from this key value store. The action will write your woopsies to a CSV (via a GitHub Action). You will connect to your data via an identity token that matches the unique identifier in your instance of the Chrome extension

Your GitHub profile is so focused on all the great things you're doing, but why not also share some of your faults?!

Is this a good idea? Most definitely not! Might it be fun to hack on for a week or two? Maybe!
