Building habits

Our habits have the power to enable us, most of the time, to live a more organized life. However, we might find it quite challenging when it comes to establishing new habits, as they require time and strong will. 

We should start by taking small steps every day in order to get used to eventually taking big ones for longer periods of time.

Associate new habits to the old ones

If you feel like picking up a new habit, don't start from scratch. It is easier when you associate a new habit to one that already exists. 

This way, it will seem less work and fewer changes. In the end, both notions tend to scare us, so why not better avoid them?

Provide the proper reward

When considering a new habit, make sure you see its accomplishment as satisfying rather than tiring. Therefore, choosing the proper reward for after completion of the habit can make you feel more at ease when it comes to your new routine.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Shankul Varada

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
