Your tagline is quite a paradox. Making deliberate practice simple is just the opposite what is deliberate practice. Which is difficult and hard.

My issue is that this is a generic tool. I also think you get the feedback theory wrong. Paying $7 for measuring myself againt some arbitrary concentration level is a joke. And also that function times out for me.

But the main question, why does this help me to do deliberate practice? I don't see any feature you have that would help:

- a list to remember for myself what areas to practice, schedule that and did I do that? but that is nothing more than a todo list

- I think the feedback concept is wrong. I understand you want to capture that somehow, but eg. for a tennis player or musician, in a session there are feedback every second, what you observe an correct in the minute. It's not a 1-5 scale for the whole session and not something you measure this way.

- go to calnewport.com , he has some good stuff on this

In my opinion the biggest problem with deliberate practice is to find out what to practice and with what framework. A gut feeling, but from a business perspective I don't see a business here. How many ppl did you interview?
