Overdue Tasks Deserve Compassion, Not Shame
An issue deadline passes. Shame and avoidance lock in immediately. You can't look at the issue because the missed deadline feels like personal failure. Notis sends compassion first - helping your nervous system stay open so you can actually reschedule and move forward.

Why this helps
Missed deadlines trigger intense shame and avoidance. You can't look at the overdue work. Projects stall because you're too ashamed to reschedule.
- Interrupt shame spirals before they lock you out
- Approach overdue work from compassion, not criticism
- Replan without the weight of self-judgment
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Cats to your Notis account.
- 2Create an automation with trigger 'Issue Updated' filtered to overdue issues or past-target-date status.
- 3Enter the instruction: 'When an issue becomes overdue, fetch a self-compassion cat fact and send it to me privately to help me approach the rescheduling without shame.'
- 4Route to SMS or private notification for immediate access before shame spirals start.
- 5Test by letting an issue deadline pass and verify the compassion message arrives to help you stay open.
Questions about this workflow
How does Notis know if something is overdue?
Notis checks the target date in Linear - if today is past the target date, it triggers the automation.
Does this only work once?
You can set it to trigger once per issue or daily until the issue is rescheduled, depending on what helps most.
