Automatic mindfullness generator

(Sorry, mindfulness.)

Okay, maybe this is a dumb idea, but I've been trying to be more mindful and self-aware throughout my everyday life, particularly recently as I have been both overeating and been easily overwhelmed by various work/career stresses. It's hard to remember to be mindful. Along the lines of the (10+2)*5 procrastination hack (search on 43folders if you don't know it) I've thought, what I want is a little, discrete automatic mindfulness reminder device.

Look at this:

The idea: small vibrating alarm timer that will go off every 15 minutes or so, that I can keep in my pocket or on my wrist or smth. like that.

Dumb? Maybe. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Actually, that's really cool in a way. like, we're so busy trying to make it easy, do it without thinking, without paying any attention and the whole point is that we're not paying any attention.
