Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely: Individuals working towards a goal often exhibit time inconsistent behavior, making plans and then failing to follow through. One ll-known model of such behavioral anomalies is present-bias discounting: individuals over-ight present costs by a bias factor. This model explains many time-inconsistent behaviors, but can make stark predictions in many settings: individuals either follow the most efficient plan for reaching their goal or procrastinate indefinitely.  propose a modification in which the present-bias parameter can vary over time, drawn independently each step from a fixed distribution. Following Kleinberg and Oren (2014),  use a ighted {\it task graph} to model task planning, and measure the cost of procrastination as the relative expected cost of the chosen path versus the optimal path.  use a novel connection to optimal pricing theory to describe the structure of the worst-case task graph for any present-bias distribution.  then leverage this structure to derive conditions on the bias distribution under which the worst-case ratio is exponential (in time) or constant.  also examine conditions on the task graph that lead to improved procrastination ratios: graphs with a uniformly bounded distance to the goal, and graphs in which the distance to the goal monotonically decreases on any path.
