Procrastination cost calculator

Distraction never feels expensive in the moment, but the lost hours add up fast. Set what an hour of your time is worth, how long you lose to distraction each day, and how much of that aimlock.ai could help you win back. The calculator shows what that recovered focus is worth each month and year.

If aimlock.ai helps you recover 25% of lost time (30 min/day)...

Pays for itself in 1.1 working days

Based on 22 working days a month and a conservative recovery rate. A rough estimate, not an exact figure.

What procrastination actually costs

The trouble with distraction is that no single moment feels costly. A few minutes here, a "quick" tab there. But those minutes are the same scarce hours you would otherwise spend earning, building, or learning, and over a month they add up to a number most people never stop to total.

You do not have to recover all of it

Eliminating distraction entirely is not the goal, and it is not realistic. Winning back even a quarter of the time you lose is usually worth far more than the price of the tool. That is why the calculator defaults to a conservative 25%: the math still lands well in your favor.

Why catching it in the moment matters

You cannot get a lost hour back at the end of the week, which is why after-the-fact reports change so little. aimlock.ai works at the only moment that moves the number: it watches what you are doing and calls you out the instant you drift, so a distraction stays a distraction instead of becoming an afternoon. At $19/month, it pays for itself the moment it saves you the time above.

FAQ

How is the cost of procrastination calculated?

It takes what an hour of your time is worth, multiplies it by the time aimlock.ai could help you win back each day (the hours you lose to distraction times your recovery rate), across 22 working days a month. It is a rough estimate to make the cost tangible, not an exact figure.

What counts as "an hour of your time is worth"?

Use your hourly rate if you bill by the hour, or your salary divided by working hours. For founders, use what an hour spent on the business is worth to you.

What is a realistic recovery rate?

You will not eliminate distraction, and you do not need to. The calculator defaults to a conservative 25%, meaning aimlock.ai helps you claw back a quarter of the time you currently lose. Move the slider to model your own guess.
