This paper evaluates the use of notifications to reduceaversive-task-procrastination by helping initiate action. Specifically, wefocus on aversion to graded writing tasks. We evaluate software designscommonly used by behavior change applications, such as goal setting and actionsupport systems. We conduct a two-phase control trial experiment with 21college students tasked to write two 3000-word writing assignments (14 studentsfully completed the experiment). Participants use a customized text editordesigned to continuously collect writing behavior. The results from the studyreveal that notifications have minimal effect in encouraging users to getstarted. They can also increase negative effects on participants. Othertechniques, such as eliminating distraction and showing simple writingstatistics, yield higher satisfaction among participants as they complete thewriting task. Furthermore, the incorporation of text mining decreases aversionto the task and helps participants overcome writer's block. Finally, we discusslessons learned from our evaluation that help quantify the difficulty ofbehavior change for writing procrastination, with emphasis on goals for the HCIcommunity.
