Gong Turns Waking Up Into a Small Obstacle Course

Field notes

Gong organizes its alarm around several explicit failure modes, including turning the alarm off in sleep and getting back into bed after standing. The proposed missions include three squats, making the bed, or walking to a coffee machine, while the page says camera checks happen on the iPhone and frames do not leave it. A separate backup alarm is described as ringing ten minutes after the main alarm, followed by a 90-minute block on selected distracting apps.
