If you’ve ever struggled with the tenacious curse of procrastination, than the aptly named Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda by Maria Bergström may just be the gadget you need to jump-start your sense of initiative.
The clock itself has a blank face, but comes with a series of colored magnets that you can use to represent things that you’d like to get done in a day. If you complete those tasks, you can treat yourself to the satisfaction of removing the magnet from the Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda by Maria Bergström.
