The main goal of this app is to help you start something new in the next 7 days. And rewarding with bite-sized stories. You can choose from any of the below 7 habits or challenges or create your own goal. List of available goals: - 7 minutes workout - Read a book - Write a book - Learn a new language - Create your first webcomic - Digital declutter - Journaling When I was trying 21 days habit making tools, I was not able to form habits even after trying them. When I tried to understand what was going on, it was the resistance and lack of motivation that was stopping me. I realised we don't need an additional tracker. Just a notepad, or pen and paper would be enough if I want to really make habits. Also, I found there is no one magic number such as 21 days or 30 days that works for all the habits. We need to get rid of the starting trouble to follow a daily routine. Most people don’t complete the daily tasks because of the difficulty of the goals. By breaking it into smaller goals, it is achievable. I also find being mindful of streaks is not good. No matter how big our streak is, we can never form a habit unless you have the right intention and intrinsic motivation. Whether you want to follow the routine or not is totally in our hands. We help you with taking the first step. Complete this short term goal for 7 days. Repeat. Commit to your goal for 7 days and repeat it until it becomes a habit. It could take 21 days, 90 days, or more than 254 days to become part of your lifestyle. It will not work unless you have a good start. Daily rewards We have gamified the rewarding process by sending one chapter each day from the story “The Paradime”. Based on whether you completed your habit, the ending of the story will change. Stories are told in different formats such as chat fiction, comics, and visual novel as a metaphor for the transformation of our personality. I have spent months of research, story writing, and coding to create a completely experimental idea which I think worked for me. Please let me know your honest comments.
