If you have any recommendations for better alternatives to any of these please drop me a note.
You update your settings that frequently? :)
Haha, I feel like I use it often enough to warrant having it on the homescreen. I’ll experiment with moving it to see if I really do use it as often as I think…
Nice to see I’m not the only guy in tech who hasn’t upgraded to the 6* screen size!
Haha yeah, the older version suits my needs just fine. Will probably upgrade eventually, but I’m not in a rush.
I really like streaks for building habits. It forces you to focus on just four and it lets you choose the frequency. I like the reports. Also it’s a good reference thru the day. I love when I graduate a task and add a new one. It happens rarely but steadily.
Thanks, I’ll check it out. Very interesting that is just lets you choose four.
