What is this
The Guilt Trip is a small interactive web tool from tinythings.fun where you type something you've been avoiding — the dentist, the dishes, the email you haven't sent — and it generates a gentle, imagined message from your mother. A procrastination machine built on love and mild disappointment.
Why we built it
Procrastination doesn't respond to productivity advice. It responds to feeling — the specific, low-grade dread of the thing you haven't done. The Guilt Trip makes that dread visible, and gives it a familiar face. What's the most loving form of accountability? Turns out it's a note from Mom.
How to use it

Add your mom's email address.
Click 'Tell Mom' to preview the generated message.
Hit 'Send it' if you're brave enough.
The email opens in your mail client — you still have to press send.
