MORE IDEAS ON THIS
Habits are little chunks of auto-pilot behavior that get burned permanently into your mind. Once you develop a habit, you can never really delete it.
Habits start with a trigger, which sets off your automatic behavior. They end at a pleasant reward that reinforces your habit.

Describe your own behavior in detail, and search for clues you might have missed before. Find your trigger.

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!
