~~Habits!~~ "Loop - Habit Tracker"! I use it to control I do my Spanish lessons on Duolingo each day, that I workout every other day, that I take my pills, that I remember to see everything as an opportunity. It's a great simple app, and the dark mode is beautiful.

And it's free with no ads!!

Loop - Habit Tracker

Try checking out some of the subs that revolve with getting yourself on track such as r/productivity or something. It's good to habitualize daily events even. I personally have little reminders for simple things like brushing teeth. There is an app called "Habit" and there is a little moticum of happiness from checking off a box for each event.

As far as for outward appearance when around everyone else, for me what helps is I tell myself little things as I'm getting ready like "Look good, feel good" or "Smell good, look good, feel good" stupid stuff, if anything I'll get a chuckle out of myself. The mirror can work wonders, focus on things you like about yourself.

Also I have a tendency to not want to bother other people or disrupt their lives with what's going on with me, I'll bottle it in which, is unhealthy, find someone you can talk to and talk. Most important would be to receive professional help, I have yet to do that step minus my initial diagnosis.

EDIT: I'm really happy with all the positivity around this comment, also I made a mistake the app is called "Loop - Habit Tracker"

1) planning everything, even the little things. I use a tracker with reminders to do chores, learn a language and exercise. For everything else I use google calendar. For some reason, having a daily plan allows me to do a lot more than I otherwise do. There's some satisfaction in seeing a list of tasks shrink.

2) evaluating my free time. This mainly involved video games and my internet browsing experience. Basically, if I felt that something I was doing involved a lot of "filler time" or something that I wasn't really enjoying, I just stopped doing it. Now I never play video games that make me angry or involve a lot of walking or travelling from point A to point B and I stopped watching youtube personalities and youtube drama (shit like H3H3). Now I spend less time playing games and browsing the internet, but I enjoy that time considerably more.

Discovered this app 2 days ago. An free, open sourced Habit tracker. Relatively new with 50-100 downloads only but 4.9 rating.

Simple, elegant, functional design. Detailed statistics and widgets. No excessive permissions. Developer is active.

Linkme: Loop: Habit Tracker by Alinson S Xavier

Edit- Heres correct link Loop: Habit Tracker

Edit 12:50pm EST- A new review mentions developer posted it on r/androiddev (developer is /u/iSoron)

https://www.reddit.com/r/androiddev/comments/48ys9v/my_opensource_habit_tracking_app_feedback/

Just a few thoughts on this:

• Put a system in place to keep track of whether or not you achieved your daily goals. It's easy to have a week go by not achieving your goals while at the same time reinforcing behaviour you'd like to cut out.
• Get more specific with those items. Drink more water --> Drink 2l of water a day. Makes it possible to decide quickly whether or not the goal has been reached.
• I'd set an automatic alarm every day for 7am, but that's just me.

You might want to hop over to /r/theXeffect/ and put your goals on cards. I use an app called Loop - Habit Tracker to keep track of my daily goals.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

Also, these are my daily goals in case you or someone else needs inspiration:

Morning Habits

• No Snooze
• Drink 0,5l / 16oz of Water first thing
• Make your bed
• Do Molding Mobility (a mobility program, takes ~10mins)
• Do Starting Streching (a flexibility program, takes ~20mins)
• Meditate for at least 10mins

Day Habits

• 30mins of stuying flashcards
• NoFap
• Sports (3 out of 7 days; evelated heart rate for at least 20mins, may be jogging, or just taking my bike to the grocery store)
• Don't smoke pot (5 out of 7 days)

Evening Habits

• Start evening routine on time (usually at 9.45)
• Facial Hygiene
• 5mins of tidying up my room
• Pack my bag for next day
• Meditate for at least 20mins
• Stretch to achieve lotus sit
• Read for 30mins

Loop - Habit Tracker

It's a simple little app to help you track your progress at adopting a new habit. The app successfully got me in the habit of cleaning my apartment on a regular basis.

Edit: it's also worth mentioning that this app requires no permissions, and has no ads.

I was wrong about the name!! It's just translates to "Vaner" in Danish which means "Habits" so I thought that was its name - it's named "Loop - Habit Tracker" by Álison s Xavier!

And NO ads for free!!

Loop - Habit Tracker

Little side-tip related to habit building: get an app like Loop - Habit Tracker. I've found it to be really helpful in building habits, and it helps getting past little slip ups as well.

I am still working on it so I can't really answer your question. Now, you have your own milestones and you'll probably want to have as many non-zero days as possible but my objectives are a bit more specific (be productive for x hours/days, wake up before 8 AM, etc) and to keep track of everything, I needed another app - loop habit tracker. I don't know if you'll need it but it offers a bit more granularity in case you don't want to limit yourself to four broad categories.

It's called Loop - Habit Tracker, best minimalistic and straightforward app I have ever used to track stuff, plenty of interesting stats and great widgets too

I would download Loop - Habit Tracker and set a daily habit entitled "Didn't check Reddit ��" or something like that (or more likely an inverse habit of when I do, with a focus to avoid building the habit).

Check out Loop Habit Tracker. It has a great widget, material interface, etc. The thing I like best is its percent system. Keep going to keep it at 100%, or if you break then try and get it back up to 100%.

Loop Habit Tracker

I've tried loads and this simple one is my absolute favourite. It doesn't stuff any features behind a pay wall, has a decent widget set and has backups.

I'd actually be very happy to have paid for this one.

Loop habit tracker https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

Daylio - daily journal and mood tracker https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.daylio

Both are simple, free, and very well made apps that don't do any annoying things like so many apps do. Highly recommend both.

Use a habit tracker app. Just put a widget on the home screen of your phone. You will see the unchecked box of your habit all day long and you will find a pleasure when you do it.

It really changes a lot when you can actually see when you did and did not do your habit. You REALLY overestimate how much you are doing something until you see the data in front of you.

I have been using one for almost a year (for the oldest habit, witch is sports).

It's Loop Habit Tracker for Android (Google Play link)

It's a neat little open source, ad-free app for tracking your habits. You can export data to .csv file as well.

Keep track.

I like the Loop habit tracker because it shows a rating that rises and falls slowly as you keep or fall off the habit. It works quite well as a visualizer of how well you're doing and you get an itch to check off every day.

You don't really have to spend much time on your habits. Just do a little bit every day, enough to scratch at it. The effect builds over time. Though it may be good to occasionally make a bigger push.

Loop - Habit Tracker is pretty good.

It can do what you asked, just specify when you want a habit to repeat, and as per their FAQ

> How can I specify that a habit should be performed on certain days of the week?

> You don't need to specify this. The app will figure it out by itself. You just need to specify how many times would you like to repeat the habit in a certain interval of time. For example, if you want to repeat a certain habit every Monday and Friday, simply specify that you want to repeat the habit 2 times per week, and then start practicing your habit. If, during your first week, you indeed perform your habit on Monday and Friday, the app will automatically add a checkmark on the following Saturday and Sunday. As long as you keep your routine, the checkmarks should appear automatically on the correct days.

> Why are some checkmarks gray?

> The color gray indicates that the checkmark was automatically added by the app, and not manually by the user. This happens with non-daily habits. For example, if you have a habit that should be repeated only one time every week, and you perform it on a certain Monday, the app will automatically add gray checkmarks on Tuesday, Wednesday an so on.

Loop Habit tracker - It's great because it's very minimalistic in design which is great for the multiple cards I have and also has great stats.

Loop habit tracker if I’m not mistaken. One of the best android apps I’ve encountered - free and open source, simple but got really nice and helpful stats.

Oh yeah that Loop Habit Tracker is the best. Simple, but has enough statistics etc and does not send your data to whoever, no special requirements needed.

I'm using a bare bones, open source app. Come up with a habit you want, optionally in the form of a question, give it a desired schedule, and track it with a simple binary answer.

The habit at the top of my list is itself to record my progress in the app by 7 every night (and a reminder sounds if I do not), because it is so important.

My app, Loop Habit Tracker, currently has 120k downloads and 4.74 score. I think the best way to improve your ratings is to listen to your users. Listen to their feedback with an open mind, and don't take things personally: they are rating the app, not you.

Also, it's better to have a very simple app with few functions that work really well, rather than a bloated app that tries to do everything but ends up being unreliable and confusing to use. You don't need to implement every single feature that your competitors have. Focus on the 20% that 80% of the users need, and do it well. For more about this point, I recommend the book Getting Real, by 37signals.

Set up a phone alarm! Or, if you want something more discreet, I use the Loop Habit tracker app in the Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits). Missing SSRI's or SNRI's can really fuck with you, so best to use everything available to make it easier to remember.

well https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits is open source, fits your needs perfectly but is an android app

Loop. C'est une appli open source qui permet de checker tous les jours les choses que tu as faites ou non.

Petits conseils :

• Setup les widgets sur ton bureau. ça prends pas beaucoup de place et c'est important. Si tu ne coches pas tes habitudes un jour, ça ruine un peu la qualité des données que tu remplis. Un truc sur le bureau permet d'être sûr d'avoir tout remplis (pour peu que tu regarde ton bureau).
• Que des habitudes positives : il ne faut pas que cocher un truc soit négatif. Ne track pas les jours où tu as fumer mais les jours où tu n'as pas fumer.
• Quantifie bien tes trucs. Par exemple pour moi "Lire" c'est "au moins 15 minutes de lecture d'un LIVRE", pas de magasine etc. De même, "Sport" c'est "Équivalent à 25 minutes intensives d'entrainement". Pas de trucs flous du genre "sociabiliser" ou "se cultiver".

Tiens moi au courant, je kiffe voir les données !

I don't use habits part of ticktick because it doesn't offer any type of visualizations and summarized statistics of my habits. Because of that I use Loop Habit Tracker, which does have what I want but is only available on Android and not on Windows or Web. If they implement types of graphs like the ones in Loop Habit Tracker, I am going to switch immediately.

I think this one

If this is the one they meant then I 100% recommend it, it's a great app. Have been using it for like two or three years now for all kinds of stuff. Don't know if it's on Iphones.

Autobot removed my post - so I guess it's better here:

I know there are many apps. But they all seem terrible to me. Runtastic (Adidas) & Runkeeper (Asics) both really want to build a social media platform & I really don't want another social media platform.

I want to:

• Track distance, speed & time of my runs

• Track (and be reminded of) my protein & creatine intake

• Track my weight

• Plot those results on a graph of some kind.

Is there anything like this?

I'm currently using Loop - Habit Tracker. It's not for fitness, but it does allow me to track instances of an event. IE that I drank protein/creatine or that I ran on a given day. But it doesn't allow me to track distance/speed of that run, nor my weight. It also plots the results on a graph so that I can see my habit strengths over time. It's good enough & free (without ads) so I'm not complaining. But it seems that my needs are pretty average. Surely someone out there is doing it without roping the user into a completely unnecessary social media platform.

+1! I use it on a daily basis

Not to mention, it is open source, so no worries for th permissions ;)

Here is the link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits on the Google Play Store And for good measure, on F-Droid https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.isoron.uhabits/

Jokin mikä on itseäni auttanut on habit trackeri, itse käytän https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

Laitoin alkuun tavoitteeksi ihan normihommaa niinkuin pyykkien pesu, siivous (ihan kuinka pieni tahansa), ja liikkuminen (laittaa edes vaatteet päälle ja menee hetkeksi ulos seisomaan). Sitten laittaa checkboxin että teki jotain, niin on konkreettinen merkki siitä ettei ihan joutilainen ollut. Siitä sitten hiljakseen laajentaa.

Onnea matkaan.

>I just hate it because I feel like, if given the chance and if I were normal, I could be an awesome girlfriend. But then I realize I am naïve so it could just be an overestimate.

"Overestimate" is not an accurate descriptor and assumes we are on some staircase of worthiness. The issue is that your definition of awesomeness may not be close to someone else's. It's better to think of match as a jigsaw puzzle, in my opinion. Just because you don't click doesn't mean you're inferior or unworthy, like a jigsaw piece. The search for a fit just continues, no matter how long it takes (alongside self-improvement, of course).

>I want to be present. I want to take better care of myself. And most of all, I want to get closer to God. That is the only way.

👏 What actions are you going to take? Loop Habit Tracker has been life-changing, personally!

I use the Android app Loop - Habits (free & open-source, no ads). When its notifications pop up on the Pebble, they can be dismissed, snoozed, or checked off. Works pretty well for me.

Loop Habit Tracker is simple and has a nice visualization of how you did on your specific habits (history of ticked days, best streaks, frequency and 'strength' of habit). Plus you can set custom reminders. Maybe that helps?

Here's the one I use, I was wrong, it's not callde "habits" it's called "Loop" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits&hl=en_US

I originally started using it to track my habits but now I don't even check my progress haha, I just use it for the reminders.

Yes. I started using one since my BP days and have noticed quite a difference. I use an app to track habits , you can find it here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

If Habitica does not work for you (I found that I could not stick with it) I instead went with 'Loop - Habit Tracker' where you can set up reminders, how many times a week you want to do something and so on.

I second this, Loop is free, open source, no ads, can be found on playstore an F-droid as well, you can set habits you want to track and check if you completed for every day. Quite good app in my opinion.

You can also check Habitbull, wich is a similar app.

It´s for android Loop - Habit Tracker

Edit: Here a good list with a good Habit Tracker in App Store

Not the OP but I've been using Loop - Habit Tracker for ages - it's a pretty minimalist app with some nice features including reminders, backup, and data export.

Sure. I've never shared a play store link so hopefully it'll work. Turns out it's called Loop so that might be why you couldn't find it, but the app shows up as Habits on my screen. My bad.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

Accurate self-reflection is the biggest part of self-esteem to me.

I recommend journaling, so that you can see how you feel at different times and create a more accurate representation of your feelings. I also use an app called Loop - Habit Tracker so that I can make sure I'm doing the things I want to be doing.

I use Habits for daily things. It's very simple and minimalistic - for some use cases probably too simple, but check it out. Open-source and free too.

You can try Loop - Habit Tracker. Just add a nofap habit and mark your progress at the end of each day. You can setup notifications, too. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits&hl=en_US

I use Loop (for Android). It has reminders, so you don't have to actively remember using it and a nice graphical overview for how consistent you have been.

>I know a bit of Python and JS, but I'm more comfortable with Python.

So, how much webdev experience do you have? None?

Any answer to your question depends highly on your current experience.

And yeah, there are some Android Apps that are similar to what you describe.

<strong>Loop - Habit Tracker</strong> for example.

I used to try to use Todoist to manage my habits for a few months or so, and realized that it was overwhelming to have so many small tasks per day. Combine that with the trouble of getting the flexible due dates just right, and I decided to use a separate app for most of my habits.

I personally use Loop Habit Traker on Android, but there are plenty of others that are the same. A perk of using something like that is you can see the history of your habits, too.

I still keep habits that need to be planned for (laundry, going to the gym, etc.) as Todoist tasks in addition to the other app. And sometimes, when I'm planning my day, I'll take some habits from the habit tracker and make one-time tasks for them in Todoist. Depends on how organized I'm feeling.

I love me Loop - Habit Tracker! It has 1x1 checkbox widgets that allow you to check off habits as done for the day/week/whenever with one touch. At one point, one of my homescreen panes was populated with almost nothing but checkboxes, haha; they're fun to interact with!

Your best bet would be - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits&amp;hl=en

Loop - Habit Tracker. It's essentially what you want, it has a tracker and everything, and very minimal interface. Just set your habit as, "Did Not Drink," and you're set.

Best part is, no ads, and is free.

Maybe we can use this thread for app recommendations.

Here's mine (Android): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

You can tell it to abstain either every day or, if you're on LowFap, to abstain for example 29 out of 30 days. Then if you use that one "Fap day" it will still count as a streak.

It gives a great graphical presentation of progress over time, which I find very helpful. It also shows your best streaks. And your best/weakest weekdays over time, which might help with identifying patterns.

I use it to track both LowFap and pornfree and it made it really obvious how P is the real issue, which is motivating as well.

Is there a guide on how to use this app? I found something in /r/lifeRPG but it's pretty basic. I don't even know how to tweak the exp gained, whether 1 gem is good enough reward (or what they even do).

Can you do stuff like, rewarding you for completing a pomodoro session on a task?

Edit: I tried the app, I found it to be pretty meh because of the amount of setup it requires. I found something else that does the work for me. One of them is loop which claims to be open source and ad-free and so far looks great, and there's also productivity challenge timer but that's a different beast (combines pomodoro timer with achievements or something and punishes you if you get "lazy"). I'll try both and see which one I'll stick with. I'm like /u/frrunkis and I feel that I'm being too soft on me.

Have a look at the app I developed, Loop Habit Tracker. You can create a habit such as "take shower", set the frequency to " 1 time in 2 days", then create a reminder at a certain time of the day. Every day, at that time, the app will check if you have taken a shower in the last two days, and, if not, show you a notification. It also has widgets, and some other features.

I use a separate app for habit tracking, because I like the separation it creates from my todo list.

Also, using a dedicated habit app provides a bunch of cool features and insights into your progression, rather than just having a recurring task which you complete a bunch of times, which I really like!

The app logo should have a blue background and white arrow as a circle. Maybe it's an android only app, but the app in the first link looks extremely similar to the app I have installed. Literally every single screenshot. So I'd go for that.

Here, the app on the play store for reference: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

Android-only, as I don't know any solid iOS alternative (maybe Habitica): I love the free, open-source Loop - Habit Tracker, which sort of sticks to you, actually. You set a habit ("Share something interesting with someone" or whatever text you want to put), set a desired frequency, and pick a time for it to fire a notification to remind you, and it'll pop up in your status bar accordingly. It also has beautiful widgets that you can set on your home screen for easy marking of habits.

Come to think of it, one daily habit of mine is a positive affirmation to myself about something, anything (which I frankly have trouble filling; I'm trying to rewire my brain after years of habitual self-punishment, I suppose). Perhaps that might be something you might like to throw in there too, if this activity doesn't come naturally to you already.

Dude. I am super confused if you are legit innocent and did not look around beforehand.

• https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits (especially the similarity with the logo .... kinda sus, you know :))

Other than that, thank you. :)

I've been using Looper Habits on Android for the last 2 months and I check it daily for habits that should get done and lump them in with my calendar items. I like using this because I get the benefit of checking off an item and like to see the chain of how good I am at a specific habit as part of my weekly review.

Many thanks for the feedback! I like how you described it: a chain of reference material and have its own collection. I think this is what I tried to look for intuitively. I'll definitely work more with this concept.

The app I'm using (on Android) is called Loop habit tracker. I'll add a link to it on Play, I hope it's allowed. Loop habit tracker (Android). Not advertising, I have nothing to do with it, just love how simple it is.

I really like the way this other habit tracker app has a "Habit Strength" that builds up to 100% when you do it, and slowly decays when you don't. It's called Loop Habit Tracker. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits (I have no affiliation besides using the app).

Also, it'd be cool to have some type of importer/exporter, so we could transfer data from a different app or to a new phone.

I'm using a habit tracker app. Is this in PlayStore (I don't know if its in the AppStore): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits&amp;hl=en_us

It's really good because I don't like having the right time to do this or that, so I put the things that I want to every day as a habit. And when I complete I mark as done in the app, if you continue doing for 30 days became a habit and is easy to continue. He can't work as a normal calendar schedule, it is just things that you do every day, every 3 days, or every week... I'm using for three months and gradually a was adding things that I want to have as a habit or stuff that I want to stop doing every day. And now 3 mounts in, I'm reading every day, I'm writing in English every day (I'm not a native speaker), I'm studying French, watching lectures on youtube, doing an online course in the University of Toronto, and exercising every day. In the 3 months, I created a lot of good daily habits because of the app and my willingness to use it, because the app is kinda simple, is how you choose to use it.

I hope you understand it what I said ( because of my english).

I hope this helps you in some way.

Loop Habit Tracker or one of the recent apps posted by dev here Minihabits might be of interest to you.

I use Habits, the notification stays till I go and click it and I don't click it till I'm doing whatever it is I set as a reminder. If it's something visual I use Google Keep with a set daily reminder time, and same thing it stays in my notifications and I don't click that I'm done till I'm actually doing the task or whatever and in this case I take a picture which also saves a time I took the picture at the bottom. I still sometimes question whether I did whatever it was or not, but it's better than nothing.

I use this one on my android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits&amp;hl=en_US&amp;referrer=utm_source%3Dgoogle%26utm_medium%3Dorganic%26utm_term%3Dhabitsgoogle+play+store&amp;pcampaignid=APPU_1_SjgVXfKoDMqw5OUPus2R2A0

Can't comment on ios apps

I could recommend an app, the name is Loop

You just need to put few duties crucial to do during the day and give it a check up

After few weeks, you can realize which are your weak days are how constant are you.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

Hope it can help you!

It's not a money app, but I love the Loop-Habit Tracker. I put on there what I want to keep track of and use the Home screen widgets to mark them. It's awesome.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

This app does require your own initiation, maybe Youper or Wysa is something for you.

It is an AI that helps you monitor everything and set goals. Both are kind of the same.

Also, Vent is pretty cool. It's kind of like facebook but just ranting and support.

I had same thoughts about the price so I did some research and found Loop Habit Tracker which gives you similar stats than on OP's picture.

For reminders and tracking using a phone, Loop (habit tracker) app is very useful. IIRC, one of the redditors on this sub created it.

I just switched from Android and I'm heartbroken that my favorite habit-tracking app loop - habit tracker is not available. Looking for a replacement that will let me:

• Create my own habits
• Set custom reminders (Every weekday at 6PM for example)
• Give useless tracking stats like streaks

I use habits app and have items like brush my teeth at night, sleep early. Read before sleep. For past month I usually most of them done and it has made quite an impact on my life. The app is really simple and easy to use.

I use this app on my android phone to track simple habits like: 1. going for walk. 2. Push up after shower. Even If i do one i see as goal accomplished for the day. That makes me do it daily and i do more than needed. The simplicity of it is astounding

I like using habit tracking apps and the simplicity of the don't-break-the-chain type things. The one I use now is "Loop Habit Tracker" (github, play store) because it's simple enough to do what it does and easy enough to see at a glance how things are going. And basically when there's a new habit I want to develop I add it to the list and set a notification schedule to "nag" me until it becomes more automatic so I don't forget. Even after I don't need to be reminded any more the don't-break-the-chain motivates me.

> Also, some goals don't really make sense in a "goal / milestone" context. E.g. I can make a goal for anal sex, but it won't be very helpful, reliable or accurate when it eventually does happen since this isn't something that I have a clear roadmap to.

The risk there is that you're reinforcing some sort of covert contract. I don't like tracking things that are outside my control and have a fairly sharp razor for that. I only track what's under my control and things that I'm making an effort to improve (or monitoring to avoiding regressing on). I see it more as a tool focused on my behavior and not an almanac to track the weather or some woman's cervical mucus viscosity or whatever. So for example I track "didn't avoid initiating" which focuses on my behavior and not the outcome.

Apart from the regular phone alarm app, if you are also on Android, I'd suggest you install Loop - Habit Tracker for Android

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits&amp;hl=en

I use it as a reminder for almost everything I am currently cultivating a habit for. It is very good, trust me. If you need anything else let me know.

I just checked and apparently you can set tasks to repeat daily, so they'll reset the next day. I use Loop - habit tracker for my daily repetitive tasks .

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

Loop - Habits Tracker

There is another one called 7 Weeks that Seems good as well, though I admire the well made simple UI of loops.

Aand it's two hours past my bedtime :) Damn Bojack Horseman. Great show. Goodnight!

Loop - Habit Tracker

Really helped me incorporate more and more good habits into my daily routine. Very simple app, nice interface, and actually useful widgets that don't just exist to force ads onto your phone's home screen.

I believe in you! Wanted to mention that I find if I change my inner monologue from "I've got to do the thing" to "I want to do the thing" really helps.

Check out Loop - Habit Tracker it really helps me and I can see the days I miss taking meds and correlate them to my diary entries. Which surprisingly aren't great days usually.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits&amp;hl=en

Lightweight, open source, ad-free, and super easy to use. It's helped me and my friend a lot in managing our screwed up lives. It reminds you of tasks at specified times, and you check off whether you've done it, delay it until later (you specify how long inside the program) or dismiss. If you dismiss, it will pester you the next day until you've finally done the task, then it will wait for the next interval to expire. For example, if I don't trim my beard in a week, it will begin bugging me every day about it, until I do it, then it will wait a week to bug me again.

It generates exportable charts to keep track of the strength of your habits, so you know how well you're doing. I use mine for everything from am/pm medication reminders, once weekly beard trimming and other hygiene stuff, twice weekly watering plants, tracking my alcohol consumption, changing bed sheets, replacing my bath towel, it tells me to go outside (and tracks how much I don't, because I dismiss that one a lot =/). It's a great tool and it can be transformative. It's tiny and works fine on the 7 year old phone I gave my friend when I got a hand-me-down from my sister.

One of the best designed, lightest, and most life-changing apps I've ever used. You just have to OBEY.

If you're able to go with zero alcohol for two months straight with no problem starting immediately (or more generally at any moment's notice), then I would very highly doubt that you are an alcoholic.

Try ditching it, just as an exercise to yourself. I would suggest getting a habit app; it has REALLY helped me in various ways with daily habits of things to do or things to avoid. If you have an Android, I like Loop - Habit Tracker.

So I've been looking for a habit tracker app that's actually useful. I've tried about all of them and have settled for Loop - Habit Tracker, which is free and open source.

A few comments about your app:

• having to register an account to check the app is a deal breaker IMO. If I had stumbled upon your app in the Play Store instead of through this post where you're soliciting feedback, I would have uninstalled immediately.

• I know you said that you wanted to get the app started fast, but you'll need a lot more features to justify charging for it. It sounds rather harsh but except for the point system, which I think is a great idea, there's no reason for me to ditch Loop - Habit Tracker, as it has many more features, it's free and open source and just looks better IMO.

• features that I would like to see added: graphs, ability to set habits as something other than daily, reminders, backup, export and import data, better UI and UI options (themes, night mode, habit colors, maybe a color coding system that mirrors success/the point system, etc.), a reward system for completing habits would be nice too (something Loop is missing)

• one of the reasons I settled on Loop is because it added Tasker support in the latest beta version. A habit tracking app without Tasker support means that you have no other choice than manually inputting data. With Tasker, you can convert "real life" actions to habit data automatically. It potentially means that I would never have to open the app to track my habits.

I have LoopHabbitTracker installed on my phone, the notification to perform habits sent to my watch. I check them off If I've done them. Very handy.

Do you mean something like Loop Habit Tracker? I use it to track anything from when I brush my teeth to if I workout or meditate, or go to bed on time.

They're widgets from this app! If I accomplish the task then i tap them and they become solid. My streaks are tracked in the app proper.

I found an open source habit tracker, which works excellently and is totally free and not subscription based like other habit trackers. Loop Habit Tracker in the Google Play Store.

Set teeny tiny baby goals and keep track. I use Loop Habit Tracker (it's free).

Examples:

• walk 2 min every day (e.g. during lunch break)
• exercise 2 min every day (e.g. after waking up)
• substitute 1 unhealthy meal/drink with healthy alternative (reducing caloric intake is best way to lose weight)

This is how you build habits. Once you have the habit after a few months, you can gradually increase the duration/intensity.

I recommend reading Atomic Habits summary (or use text-to-speech and have it read to you).

I use Loop Habit Tracker for stuff like this.

I've also found it useful as very basic journaling tool to track when things happen (e.g., I get migraines very infrequently but it's useful to know if they're becoming more frequent, so I have a "migraine" habit that I last "completed" back in March).

Generally I use it to ensure I do my daily exercise and medications.

There is an android app @ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits called "Loop Habit Tracker". I've been using it for quite awhile and highly recommend. You can put widgets on your home screen so with a single tap you can say "yes/no" (met your step goal that day, etc) or even enter a predetermined amount of something (how much water you drank, etc)

I've had decent success with Loop in the past, though it doesn't really do much in the way of "cute incentives to keep going". Just operates on the idea that once you get a chain going and you can see it, you won't want to break it.

If you don't need an avatar / gamification setup, you could also try tracking that kind of thing in something like Obsidian. There are tons of community plug-ins for it and I'm willing to bet somebody has already developed a habit tracking feature. This would mainly be a good option if you're already in need of a good personal encyclopedia style note app, otherwise it's overkill.

Might be referring to this app. I use it. Allows you to make custom notifications that you can reply to with yes/no or a number input to keep track of habits. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

Use something like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits&amp;utm\_source=global\_co&amp;utm\_medium=prtnr&amp;utm\_content=Mar2515&amp;utm\_campaign=PartBadge&amp;pcampaignid=MKT-AC-global-none-all-co-pr-py-PartBadges-Oct1515-1

Seems like the open source 'loop habit tracker'
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits&amp;hl=en\_GB&amp;gl=US

does this
https://github.com/iSoron/uhabits/blob/dev/screenshots/4.png

I like Loop Habit Tracker; you can set up 5 buttons to check off every day. But it does have history tracking features so maybe not for you. It doesn't feel judgemental to me and it's easy to ignore the fancier tracking but I think you're always confronted with a page with your last few days of history on it.

Which program would you recommend for daily task and habit tracking? I would prefer to use a ToDo app that does NOT belong to Google, Microsoft etc and at best is open source, free and has a modern interface.

I used Wunderlist back in the day until it was bought by Microsoft and replaced by Microsoft ToDo, which was way too rudimentary back then. In the meantime, I tried Google Keep, but it's way too clunky and also offers too few options. Recently I've been giving Microsoft ToDo another chance and I'm really happy with it, it's almost exactly like Wunderlist was a few years ago.

Recently I started to use Loop Habit Tracker on Android, but it lacks some options like synchronization.

Yes, like this.

The app isn't necessary you can just use a paper, the idea is that you finish and make the tick ✓, makes easier to start and continue when is hard.

Loop Habit Tracker literally changed my life forever. I track over 40 habits, ranging from multiple daily tasks to annual reminders (like car maintenance, etc.).

I'm not sure what device you're using but I've used Loop for months and love it. You can have more than three habits for free and you can color code, have widgets, graphs, etc. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

You could try setting up a habit tracker to track the days you didn't bite. Use something that gives you a visual to see how you've been doing for at least the last couple of weeks. Focus on not 'breaking the chain' of not biting.

I like this app that I've been using for about a month now. One thing I'm tracking is the days I've avoided eating fast food. The widgets you can add to your homescreen give you that instant feedback on how consistent you've been.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

I've been using this one for about a month now. I like the different widgets you can choose from to see your progress on what you're tracking. That visual really helps and motivates. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

Te recomiendo esta app, la uso hace años. Podés poner por ejemplo hacer algo 1 vez por semana, o 3 veces por semana y te va tirando el score, con grafiquitos y todo. También podés por ejemplo especificar cantidad de X, por ejemplos páginas a leer por día...

Hey man, first of all I want to say that I am really impressed with the self-awareness you have demonstrated just by making this post at all. You are clearly a conscientious person, and your head is in the right place -- even of your heart isn't always there with it.

I truly believe I would have been very close to radicalization had the shape of the internet been what it is now back when I was your age, so your situation definitely resonates with me (as I imagine it probably does with many others around here).

There are a few ways you could go about handling this, and I'm sure you will hear a lot of different advice on the matter. Most of it (including mine) might sound too simplified, tone-deaf, or even downright impossible. I know the standard chorus of advice is usually easy one-liners like "hit the gym" or "just work on yourself". This advice is good, but I know it can seem like an impossible mountain to climb when you get innundated with it -- especially if you are dealing with low self-esteem. So please take everything I'm saying with yourself in mind. You are the only person who knows where you are at emotionally, so take the steps that feel appropriate. Most importantly, forgive yourself if you face a setback or have a moment of weakness or failure.

Okay, preamble done; time for the advice.

The most important thing you can do, and it is going to be the hardest part of all, is to stop trying with women altogether. Having never had any success, the pressure you are putting on yourself to become successful is the thing that is most in your way right now. The good news is that, being only 19, you have a lot going for you!

Here are some things to keep in mind, to help put you at ease about your situation, and take your mind off women:

• You are at the age where people around you care more about sex and relationships than they ever will again in their lives. This creates a lot of pressure, but it also gets much easier later on, when that pressure dies down.
• You have time. Most people are not meeting their soul mates at 19. Many people do not enter a serious relationship at all until their mid twenties or later.
• It's not a race. Everyone develops at different rates. In adulthood, it starts to matter less and less what peers of your exact age are doing. I'm 30 and I know people my age who are married with two kids, and others who have never been serious with anyone.
• Any generalizations your have about women right now are probably from indirect experiences (stories online, media, etc) or from interactions with women your age. Not to harp on too much about the age thing, but most people are not awesome at 19, so try to take those interactions with a grain of salt.
• As you currently are, you don't have a lot to offer a partner. You are insecure, have low self-esteem, and are a little bit desperate. You would likely either hide these parts of yourself from a partner, therefore not being fully open with them, or you'd dump all your emotions on them, putting too much responsibility and emotional burden on their shoulders.
• As you currently are, you don't have a lot to gain from a partner. If you started dating someone tomorrow, you would probably attach all of your self-worth to that relationship. This is unhealthy for both you and your partner, and this could also end up in you finding yourself in an abusive relationship.

Okay, so that's what you "shouldn't" do. But what should you actually do?

Well, this is difficult to answer without knowing much about your situation, but I'll make some generalized assumption and you can correct me if I'm wrong.

The most important thing you need to do is to build your self confidence up. This is easier said than done, but start by taking a deep look at how you feel about yourself. What areas create the most self-loathing? Are you unhappy with your appearance? Do you play too many video games? Are you getting bad grades? Do you have any ambitions or goals you are ignoring? Do you feel like a boring person with no interests? This is going to take some honesty, and I suggest you write it all down somewhere private.

Once you identify the areas you feel need the most attention and improvement, pick one thing that you want to focus on. It should be something that you can break down into very small, actionable steps. Your goal here is to build (or break) a habit around this thing. Track your progress. This will help you see that you are improving, even if you have a setback or a bad day (I like the app Loop - Habit Tracker as a tool for this).

I cannot stress this part enough, so I'll say it again: start with baby steps. I recently built a gym habit for myself (still in progress), and my first step was just making sure I set foot in the gym twice a week. Nothing more than that. I started out just running on the treadmill for 20 minutes and then leaving, because I was too intimidated to do anything more, but that first step was important to building myself to a point where I can feel comfortable actually lifting weights. Check out /r/getdisciplined for more great advice.

I know that none of this has been about women, but I really don't think that should be your focus at all for now. If you can start improving yourself (in ways that you care about -- fuck what anyone else thinks), then you'll plant the seeds of confidence that will eventually grow. Dating comes later.

I feel I should also suggest that if you really are concerned about your mental well-being, I would strongly urge you to seek a good therapist. I know it is expensive, but if you are a student, your school might offer counselling services. Or maybe a parent might be willing to contribute? It's not an easy thing to get into when resources are limited, but it can be an extremely valuable investment in yourself that I would not brush off.

Sorry that this became such a novel. I could go on and on and on, but I will stop this here. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or just need to talk a bit. And good luck!

I use Loop Habits app and its been a blessing

I've been using Loop - habit tracker and it's working great.

I really enjoy Habits for habit tracking. Simple, free, and customizable.

Habits

Habits (Loop habits tracker) can do this

I have recently released a fully open-source alternative to these apps, called Loop Habit Tracker. Here are some screenshots. It's already available from Google Play or F-Droid. All your data stays in your phone; it does not even require Internet permission.

Productive -> Loop habit tracker (Hint: use the widgets for daily habits and put them on your phone's desktop)

Do.list -> Todoist - free version will be totally fine, I've been using it for a few years already. (Extra hint: log in on their website, go into settings -> Integrations and activate 2-way sync with google calendar. You can find this setting using the browser version only. Set your reminders (I use 1 hour before the event) in google calendar, set your phone's calendar to google account if it's not already set, and you will have free notifications for all events you use Todoist for. If you need more help on this, let me know and I'll guide you through this).

Timelines -> aTimeLogger

LifeCycle -> Smarter Time

Fabulous -> Already on Android: Fabulous

No Zero Days -> Already on Android: No Zero Days

NoMo -> Sobriety Counter

Lifesum -> Already on Android: Lifesum

Pillow -> Sleep as Android

&#x200B;

There, now all you gotta do is start working on these new habits! Good luck!

Sorry if I'm hijacking, but since this is iOS only and we're in /r/NonZeroDay, imo it's fair to promote something for us Android guys who want a similar app.

Android has an absolutely fantastic habit tracker app called <strong>Loop</strong>. It is free and also open source.

I have already made a reply above, so I'll just copy it here for you as well:

Als sehr nützlich empfinde ich Loop Habit Tracker (auf F-Droid, auf Google Play). Die App hilft einem dabei, Gewohnheiten aufzubauen. Man kann verschiedene Gewohnheiten (z. B. Fahrradfahren) eintragen, und festlegen, wie oft man diesen jeweils nachgehen möchte (z. B. zweimal pro Woche). Mit der App erfasst man den Erfolg, kann sich Statistiken anzeigen lassen, und wird an anstehende Tätigkeiten erinnert. Sehr zu empfehlen.

I am a fan of Loop habit tracker

Its open source and the developer listens to the suggestions of the users.

What about Loop?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

I want to offer some ideas I've implemented which has helped me in a huge way in dealing with my own stress. This is probably the more difficult path, but ultimately the path that has reaped the most results for me and has actually addressed problems, as opposed to just being woo-woo happy place nonsense.

Identify stressors

• Make a list and identify every single stressor in your life (including things like sleeping in and worrying all the time, counter-intuitively, literally every single 'stupid' thing, no matter how small).
• Then, decide what stressors are in your control, or out of your control.
• Then, next to the stressors in your control, write a solution that would resolve it.
• For stressors out of your control, you need to learn acceptance (which meditation is very good for)

I would say that's pretty much the basis of it. You have accumulated many habits that create stress (as a pathological response to dealing with it, ironically) and interplay with each other. These habits are likely a large portion of your stressors. So you have to create new habits (solutions). Stressors and habits also include your place of work, as it is a habit you're required to perform by virtue of being part of a capitalist society. By identifying these stressors, you may find you have to make some big changes, but you may also find its more manageable than you thought, and you simply need to adjust some things.

Create habits to counter the stressors

• For each solution, write the habits that will get you there. And make sure they're EASY. We often make the mistake of doing too much and seeing habits as hard work. They are not (not HARD work), they should be simple and easy to repeat, as you will be doing them for literally years. Could you sprint for a whole day? A video about setting easy habits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GECcjrYHH8w
• Work out what stressors you can remove. For me, washing dishes was a huge problem because it ate into important time and that made me very stressed, so I bought a dishwasher and now I have more time to focus on what's important (couldn't really afford it, but it was VERY worth it for my sanity's sake).

Example habit: For example with your constant worrying (which I am very guilty of), I recommend setting aside 10 minutes a day to meditate, at a time that is convenient and easy to repeat, with the Waking Up app by Sam Harris: https://wakingup.com/. I can feel my mindset slowly changing and a general non-reactivity emerging with consistent practice. I've had some very cathartic emotional releases via meditation and unexpected consciousness shifts. One being that I observed my negative and positive emotions and thoughts and watched them just go away, and then come back, and then go away again, no judgement. Like how sounds appear and disappear in the world. The opposite of worrying. Even 10 minutes of the day to have that experience is priceless in my opinion.

Make them stick

You need to create a reward system for yourself that will provide you a small shot of dopamine for you each time you do a habit that brings you closer to the solutions you have written. That does NOT involve 'hey I did this thing so now I can do x unhealthy thing that feels good'. So I suggest (which I have been using, and has worked so well for me that I'm still surprised) the Don't Break the Chain method: https://jamesclear.com/dont-break-the-chain. It involves the following:

• Get a Don't break the chain app and list your habits in it, I'm currently using Loop Habit Tracker: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits&amp;hl=en_US
• Every time you do a single habit, tick off the habit in Loop.
• Create or buy a calendar and put it in a very visible place
• When the day's over, if you did your habits that day, write an X on the calendar

You may have a few false starts, but you'll likely find that after putting an X on that calendar each day and watching them build up and up is so satisfying that you want to keep going, because each time you write an X on that calendar is a vote for who you are, and who you are is clearly better than yesterday, and here is a visual reminder that hey, you are doing great. You can share this progress with your boyfriend too for an extra dopamine and oxytocin hit (curse my current singledom)!

Take it slow and easy

I want to stress the importance of moving slowly with the above. You have absolutely created habits which are perpetuating your stress and you need to replace them with healthy ones, but, you need to take it one step at a time.

• Find a couple of habits that will create the most difference by quitting and won't change your routine too much
• Implement them with the Don't Break the Chain system
• Repeat every fortnight

What happens is over time, your routine morphs into something completely different. In one week, it won't be a big difference. In a few months, you'll notice the difference is profound, and you'll barely notice it changed. Stress comes from too much change too soon and uncertainty. Hence, you need to move slowly.

Make time for nothing

My last major thing, is that you need to create space where you can do nothing. This will seem hard at first, but when you have created habits, and you are ticking them off every day, you won't feel guilty about taking the time out. The weekend where you're sleeping is the perfect example of time you can take to do nothing, and an example of how mindset is so powerful. When you have habits that resolve stuff you need to get done, and you ruthlessly cut out the stuff that isn't necessary, that day you sleep can become a day you relax and get perspective. These days are crucial to your mental health. Again, you couldn't sprint for an entire day? Couldn't sprint for a whole week either.

Notes

• For your mental state, mindfulness meditation and exercise (running, yoga, literally whatever) and sleep (consistent wake/bedtime) are the best tools I have for a consistently more balanced emotional outlook (as you have mentioned, your relationships are strained, thus the way you are in the world effects your relationships, which is in your control, and you can take control with these habits).
• Environment design is a big thing, make it easy to do what you want to do, and hard to do what you don't want. For instance, sleeping in on saturdays, set your alarm out of your bed so you have to get up and turn it off (small habit). If you want, you can even go back to bed, but you got out of bed, thus you are 1% better. In time you might find that you resent the fact you keep going back to bed and stay up for a bit longer, and longer ;).
• Deep abdominal breathing is known to activate the parasympathetic nervous system (relaxed state)
• I find that I only feel better when I actually actively attack the root problem.
• None of this is intended to be a complete solution to your issues. You might find you need to make big changes that are difficult along with identifying poor habits, or you might find that just tweaking the variables of your routine makes all the difference. The important thing is to be as rational as possible.

I hope this helps you!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits&amp;hl=en_US

I hope you have an Android because this app is exactly what you're looking for

I use this. It's a good android alternate (needs a material design makeover tbh).

I hear you and I totally understand.

Through countless therapy sessions, self help books, tips from family & friends nothing seems to help.

Now here is one thing I think both you and I must realise, that either we have undiagnosed something or we're simply trying to run an ultra marathon after 10 years of no running.

If we assume we're in the second part, that means we need to practice - right?
At this stage I have found that we need to start easy, be forgiving and enjoy the process. Yes I hear myself, enjoy the process blergh.

So just as /u/Icy-Sun1216 wrote, set a timer for 5 minutes, then don't do anything more after that. The next day, you do 5 minutes of work again, then don't do anything more after that. And the next day, you do 5 minutes of work again! But no more!

After a while, you feel that you can and start to want to extend this period. Do it if you please, but don't overdo it. I mean, it's your thing, you do what you want.

Focus and not procrastinating is a skill. You need to practice to get better. And it will suck in the beginning. It will suck after some days. But it will also not suck since you'll feel much better over all.

There's tricks and tips to lessen the suck, but it will almost always suck - but fear not, it's not always gonna suck! That's the thing! The more suckage you have fought, the lesser it becomes and the more joy you get out of the task you now did instead of procrastinating, huzzah! How do I know this? Because For once in my 34 year old life I have kept a promise to myself, for 150+ days I have exercised every single day. My goal? None really, apart from exercising every day. For how long? Not relevant. What type of exercise? Not relevant. I just need to hop into some training clothes and become sweaty, that's my baseline. Some days it's less - I just need to tick that day off, some days it's more - I want to do it, and some days are even planned - I really want to do it.

But we are at the bottom of the great suckage right now, and you know what? It truly sucks. For example, I have currently NOT read a single word in the 200page document I should've read through last ... monday? And I am deep in a local maximum of suckage, which seeps into the rest of my life and my exercise habit is REALLY off putting. But around day 100 I realised a switch had happend. I started to never even question whether I should do it or not, that thought stopped crossing my mind. So in a sense it became easier, I still drag my feet out the door many times - but there's never any question regarding to if I should. So the suckage is still there, but much more manageable, and procrastination attempts are plenty - but much more manageable.

So how do we get out of a deep deep mariana trench of SUCKAGE? Little by little, and less than our maximum. Both you and I know we can do 8 hours if we really committed - but then we die, and need to recharge for another life crisis which is a little less than we want right? No, we want to go forward and upward. So here's a possible plan for you and me:

Every day, we will do the thing.

Neat plan! But for how long are we gonna do the thing? Not relevant. Ok, but it seems very little and it won't help me? Ah well, see. That's not relevant. We're beating procrastination, not running an ultra marathon. Our goal is to do the thing every day. No matter how big or small. So when should I increase my time of doing the thing? Well, you'll notice quickly what'll happen to you. Some days you do bare minimum, and other days you blast through an incredible amount and still have energy left - but the goal is never about the amount or anything else. As long as you do the thing once a day, you're a shiny golden god. In no time, we will go through what every body is talking about. But we're not there yet - soon though!

I believe in you, I believe in us. We can do the thing, every day.

----

Things that have helped me with my running habit has been:

• /r/thexeffect via the app Loop - Habit tracker and using the widgets on my phones home screen - making me remember every time I open my phone, and let's me enjoy seeing the streak add up!
• Focus on doing it every day, with a very very very low bar (One day I just got dressed and went outside my apartment door, ran as fast as I could for 5 metres, then went back home.)

One last thing, it will take some time before you can retain focus for a longer time - but you'll be beating procrastination and that is more than half the battle!

Yep, the name is &quot;Loop Habit Tracker&quot; it's for android

Thanks will check it out

I have been in a similar situation and I've been able to lessen it (but it seems to come in waves). In my case, the culprit is pent up frustrations, mostly subconsciously. There's three things I thought of of tackling it.

The first two are meant to alleviate the "symptoms": I've developed a daily meditation habit and I should also find a physical outlet to get rid of frustration. (The former I've been able to do using two free Android apps, namely Insight Timer and Loop Habit Tracker. As for the latter, I do do 10 minutes of exercises daily, but I'm not sure if they are the kind that get rid of frustration.)

The third is to find the underlying cause(s), to really self-investigate. Be honest with yourself and see if you are acting against your conscience in some way, or if you have cognitive dissonance about something. And then try to resolve it. Jordan Peterson's videos have helped me in doing that, but I think it's an iterative process that's going to take a while.

Hi! First of all, thanks for being honest and sharing your struggles, as I know it takes a lot of effort, but being vulnerable and telling others is what has helped me the most in my recovery. Also, there is the subreddit r/pornfreewomen where you can find other women and talk with them if you feel more comfortable.

Anyway, these are some of the tools that I use to help my recovery and my life in general...

1. Morning Routines: I have a mornig routine that I do every day, when I wake up. It includes meditating, exercising (just a little), cold showers and, most importantly, day planning. If I don't plan my day, I end up with a lot of unused or unplanned time where I have nothing to do and I get bored, an ideal situation for me to relapse. So morning routines help me set up and start my day in a positive mindset.
2. Night Routines: Before bed is a perfect time for me to relapse too. So I planned a night routine (very simple), which includes turning off my phone 1 hour before I go to bed and reading a little bit (Reading is a new habit I'm trying to build, as you need to make new habits to break old ones, you can't just quit coldturkey and don't replace porn with anything).
3. Journaling: One of the most powerful tools I use, journaling helps me cope with my emotions, review my days, how I am doing and knowing myself a little bit more.
4. Day tracking: I use loop to track my days and streaks, I also have a 30 days milestone with a reward to look forward to.
5. Community: I find reading and writing in this subreddit helps me a lot with my problem, since I see there are other people fighting the same battle, and I can be honest and connect with others and myself. Also sharing my problem with my SO has helped me a lot.
6. Podcasts: Podcasts are another powerful tool. I'm listening to pornfree Radio and the art of charm. When I'm going from home to college, instead of listening to music, I just listen to one episode.
7. Trying to build new habits: Reading, drawing, programming, running,... new habits I'm trying to build to replace the bad ones I had

Anyway, these might be all the things that I do to stay active with my recovery and don't relapse, but they also help myself, my mentality( which is more positive now that when I used to watch porn every day) and my life in general. Hope you find something that helps you as well!! Stay Strong!!

Also, my english is not the best as I'm not a native speaker, so sorry :/

Hi! We are fighting the same battle. It's a big step to share your problems with others, so thank you! This community and telling others aboutt my struggle is what helped me the most in my (still going) recovery.

Anyway, these are some of the tools that I use to help my recovery and my life in general...

1. Morning Routines: I have a mornig routine that I do every day, when I wake up. It includes meditating, exercising (just a little), cold showers and, most importantly, day planning.

7. Trying to build new habits: Reading, drawing, programming, running,... new habits I'm trying to build to replace the bad ones I had.

As you can see, lots of these tools are not just to stop looking at porn, but they help me improve my life, and relationships with others and myself. Porn is a tool we use to scape, to deal with problems we are not aware of or we can't deal. If we just quit porn and don't replace it with anything, it will just find its way back to our life.

&#x200B;

Anyway, keep fighting, it is a difficult battle, but you, and everybody can do this!! We are in this together! Best of luck!

I know this is unsolicited, but as a former HabitBull user, I switched to Loop a few months ago and it's way better. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

Eu tenho depressão e tdah. No momento estou bem deprê (postei mais sobre isso em outra thread), mas uns meses atrás tive uma melhora significativa, através de:

1. Remédios (venlafaxina e venvanse)

2. Psicólogo (terapia cognitivo comportamental focada em mudar meus hábitos)

3. Exercício físico (bicicleta e hidroginástica, ou ao menos caminhada), de preferência no sol

4. Cultivar bons hábitos diariamente, anotando eles à medida que acontecem (por exemplo "me exercitei hoje"), para facilitar que uma rotina se estabeleça. /r/theXeffect subreddit relacionado.

5. Deixar de usar o computador em casa. A triste situação é que tenho dependência ao uso online do PC e retirar ele por umas semanas ajudou pra caramba. Peguei o laptop e guardei na mochila -- se eu quisesse usar o computador, teria que levar ele fora de casa. Quando eu sentia abstinência eu ia ler um livro, caminhar, qualquer coisa.

A ideia é focar no presente, o amanhã você se preocupa amanhã. Se hoje você realizar tarefas produtivas, o seu dia já vai estar melhor (comigo é assim, pelo menos). Eu comecei a manter uma agenda com tudo que eu tinha que fazer, e a cada item completado eu vou riscando. O psicólogo foi importante nessa parte. Hábitos recorrentes eu passei a acompanhar com o loop habit tracker, foi bom para sentir exatamente como eu estou progredindo (ou não). Não basta pensamento positivo, tem que ser realista. Nessa época mudei hábitos alimentares e perdi 30 kg também (115 kg -> 85 kg).

Se você conseguir realizar seus objetivos hoje, amanhã você vai ter mais chance de conseguir fazer suas tarefas, e assim por diante. E aos poucos pode virar costume. Mas claro, nem todo dia vai ser um bom dia. Mas o perigo é achar que só porque você não conseguiu ontem, você precisa deixar de realizar seus objetivos de hoje. Não, esqueça o ontem, hoje é outro dia.

O legal desse ponto de vista é que ele não deposita a esperança de melhora nos remédios, ou em um fator externo que está além do seu alcance. E sabe, remédios psiquiátricos muitas vezes são limitados e o psiquiatra vai testando na tentativa e erro mesmo, o remédio que funciona com um paciente pode não funcionar com outro. E aliás, seu médico tentou que outros remédios além da fluoxetina?

Agora sim, remédios são importantes (e eu piorei nos últimos meses quando deixei de tomar eles... e deixei de ir ao psicólogo :|), mas quem precisa cuidar da sua saúde mental é você, no dia-a-dia.

tldr: remédios sozinhos não bastam, é bom unir eles à terapia e mudança no estilo de vida.

Thanks for the awesome work as usual. Just subscribed to the yearly plan.

In case you're interested, here's some inspiration for the statistics page. It's from a habit tracker app, called "Habits". In this example I use it to track when I go to the gym. It would be nice to have this sort of information in ~~P2~~ ~~P3~~ ~~P4~~ P5. ^^

https://imgur.com/a/bzw9lRI

Also, FYI I still get the "double bubble" bug from time to time. I got it yesterday again (just as I was finishing). But it was before this big update, so we'll see if it happens again. (Pixel 5, Android 12)

FYI-2: after I purchased the yearly subscription, the app immediately recognized it (showed me the "thank you" message) and I could see the stats page, but when I tried to visit the history page for an exercise, it was blocked as if I hadn't paid (with the "purchase" button). I forced stop and restart the app, and everything was like I haven't paid: the "red heart" button was there, stats page blocked, etc. I forced stop it and restarted it again, and finally it was OK.

I use this app for that purpouse: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits .It is amazing !!!

thanks for the suggestion guys. I'm currently trying out loop habit tracker

Try loop habit for android.

Loop habit tracker would be good for tracking new habits. There are a couple of habit trackers that will gamify this too.

A good task app and a good calendar will help you schedule your time.

Use apps to keep track of phone and app use. Consider outright uninstalling the bad apps (social media, etc) or at least locking them behind a work profile to keep them out of the way. You can replace them with more productive media (like well sourced podcasts and RSS feeds) and ebooks.

Think of what you want to do and what apps facilitate your plan. Don't work backwards. You'll find apps later (execrcise, sleep tracking, water drinking reminders, activity prompts, mindfulness apps, language learning, etc).

Heres the link for Google Play store

I've accomplished:

• Wake up at 7:30 every day, often including weekends (used to be 9am or other wildly varying times)
• Being consistent with a bullet journal/planner (tip: use colors, stickers, and customizable layouts! we get bored of everything SO quick.)
• Taking medication on time, and taking it at all...
• Brushing teeth right away in the morning
• Brushing teeth every night (okay, I miss about one night a week)
• Checking my calendar at night so I don't miss meetings and such the next morning (this is life changing, who would've thought)
• Checking my alarm every night to make sure it's set at the appropriate time

Things I hope I will get the hang of soon:

• Daily flossing
• Daily meditation (I had this down a few months ago, has faded away.)
• Daily or every other day yoga
• Intake enough water every day
• Updating my bullet journal every night and every morning (right now I get to it around the middle of the day, which is better than nothing, but it's so much better if you can use it to plan your day)
• Daily or frequent habit of engaging in a small creative thing like sketching or journaling
• Taking showers every other day
• Getting to bed at 11pm to 1am

You know, now that I've written that all out, it doesn't look that overwhelming! If I could do even half of my "wants" list, I would feel a lot better. Thanks for the idea! This was a little journaling activity in itself.

Also, EVERY habit I listed as accomplished, I did with Loop Habit Tracker, which holds your hand through every tiny step, in the morning when your brain doesn't work, and at night when you can't be bothered to give a fuck. You basically decide with a clear mind what your future self's routine will be, and all you have to do is press Start, and it walks you through it. Mine is literally get out of bed, drink water, take meds, brush teeth, wash face, stretch for 2 min, stare at phone for 30 min, check calendar, check to do list, start working. Honestly basic human stuff but I could never do it before I had this app. I get distracted or demotivated on every step without it.

You could try a habit tracking app. Pretty much a "yes or no" with lots of graphs/stats.

Loop Habit Tracker

This guy knows his shit, I'll also add a few things You could have a daily check list or habit tracker app and try to tick off as many things in a "default" day (e.g. wake up before x, meditate, read for an hour, go outside for an hour, work out/walk). Over time you'll be able to see progress and track weeks/trends and this also "gamefies" your life and helps motivation, whether it's unlearning habits or learning new ones.

Although I still YouTube a lot, it's surprisingly easy to just... Uninstall the rest of your social media apps stone cold. As a first step even removing them from your home screen increases the "resistance" to overcome and you won't autopilot-zombie open them.

Find hobbies to fill in that time you now have freed up. You mentioned woodwork. Don't wait for motivation, use discipline to start things. Get into reading, podcasts, learning an instrument, making music, craftwork, a new sport, any software from Photoshop to Python. Soon you'll find yourself doing combos to tick off 3 things at once (podcast while outside walking). Some of these hobbies like a new sport may open up social interaction.

The 3 things to fix as soon as possible are sleep, diet, and exercise.

• You work out already so that's good, keep it up. Consistency is key. Maybe get into Yoga/Morning Flexibility Routine like this one

• As for sleep, here's a Ted Talk, but I strongly recommend this Joe Rogan episode of the same guy.

• Diet there's no secret/magic diet. Cut everything processed and use common sense. Get into cooking simple, healthier, tastier meals.

Some key things to develop/get into I would say are reading and meditation. Once you love reading it allows you to deeply educate yourself on pretty much ANY topic from someone else's insanely hard work. Meditation for mental health is just awareness of what's in your head and around you. I'd recommend guided Mindfulness Meditation, Headspace or the Waking Up app have free trials I think, and Waking Up will give you a free subscription if you ask them.

Sorry I don't have much good advice for the social side, I also struggle with that and have almost no friend interaction and it hurts but all I can do to alleviate that it is to work on myself. It's not an ideal solution though and I'm tired of it at this point.

If you have any specific questions or want to chat about anything feel free to DM me I'd love to help. All the best.

I strongly recommend Loop Habit Tracker for a simple, easy to use and free app.

This seems like something that should go in a habit tracker...

I'm personally a big fan of Loop

I currently use Loop

I have already made a reply above, so I'll just copy it here for you as well:

Productive -> Loop habit tracker (Hint: use the widgets for daily habits and put them on your phone's desktop)

Do.list -> Todoist - free version will be totally fine, I've been using it for a few years already. (Extra hint: log in on their website, go into settings -> Integrations and activate 2-way sync with google calendar. You can find this setting using the browser version only. Set your reminders (I use 1 hour before the event) in google calendar, set your phone's calendar to google account if it's not already set, and you will have free notifications for all events you use Todoist for. If you need more help on this, let me know and I'll guide you through this).

Timelines -> aTimeLogger

LifeCycle -> Smarter Time

Fabulous -> Already on Android: Fabulous

No Zero Days -> Already on Android: No Zero Days

NoMo -> Sobriety Counter

Lifesum -> Already on Android: Lifesum

Pillow -> Sleep as Android

&#x200B;

&#x200B;

&#x200B;

Also, for those ads that bother you, Blokada or AdClear. Download one of these and you'll start enjoying your Android experience a lot more.

As for some extra apps I can recommend, you can check:

Jefit for working out,

Readera for reading e-books (in all e-book formats and also PDF),

1Money for tracking your expenses,

Duolingo for learning languages.

There's also Youtube Vanced for non-root devices, which will let you listen to Youtube while having it minimized as well. You won't find it on the Google Play store, but it can easily be found using Google.

I hope this helps!

Some things for you to try:

NAC supplements take 600mg twice a day. There is some evidence this dose helps with compulsive disorders, and I have been taking it myself.

Rubber finger cots for sensory blocking. I put them on during times I'm most lilely to pull, e.g. when doing my makeup.

Hypnosis? Download a hypnosis audio track to listen to. I haven't tried it because hypnosis creeps me out, but it might be worth a go.

Habit tracker app to keep track of your progress. You can mark days you've gone without pulling and see your best streaks, highscores, etc.

Do you pull from the scalp or from the face (eyelashes/brows?). Other users have suggested putting Vaseline on the eyebrows/lashes to make it too slippery to pull them out.

Hope this helps.

I use Loop Habit Tracker -- ad-free, open source, with actionable notifications (no timeline support but that's never bothered me).

Loop Habit Tracker is an all purpose tracker which doesn't have any specific links to sobriety, but could definitely work for them.

On Android, I can really recommend Loop.

This is something I've been working on the for the past year. I've always wanted to do a bunch of projects, but never could muster up the willpower when I had the time. So, I started to "procrastinate" by reading about being productive. Many of those books I feel aren't written for INTP's I feel, but there are some things that have really helped me.

• I commit to 3 very small actions a day Every day earlier on when I find myself day dreaming about projects, I name a really small thing I can do to get further in them. Do I want to program? Write a line of code. Start exercising? Walk to my mailbox. Electronics? Continuity test a jumper cable. Seriously, make it so small that even you would feel too lazy to not do it. Once you start, it feels easier to keep going. My mailbox walks usually turn into miles, one line of code turns into completing a CodeWars.com challenge, etc.,

• Track the habits I want in this app I've used so many apps before that tried to gamify things, had many bells and whistles for setting up meticulus habits, etc, but they all have failed. This one seems to be working because it's stupid simple. Do it, click the checkmark, move on. It keeps track of frequency like Github keeps track of code commits (sorry to the non-programmers reading this).

• Set music to activities I love listening to music, maybe too much. I have some albums/playlists that I only listen to during certain activities to the point where it feels weird just to listen to them alone. Riding my bike? Pain of Salvation's Be. Reading schematics? Ark's Porcelain Jesus

Sorry for the wall of text. Learning how to do projects is my current project, and I'm just excited about it.

I use the application "loop". You have this strike visualization even if your habit is three times a week. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

I was in a similar situation a while ago I am 25 years old, I also had my own business when I was 19, lost about $1000 while at it (I live in Poland, so that is more money than for an American). I've been struggling to transition my life to be an adult and not a kid. If you'll find my comment interesting or helpful in any way, feel free to send me a message.

What helped me to keep my shit together was Dr Jordan Peterson. He has this great book called 12 rules for life, but you probably don't have the willpower to read a book (I still don't, I've done only 3 chapters in a year). So you can start by watching his videos on youtube, like this one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApC0faRYabI
The thing you got to do is focus on small things rather than the big ones. I have set myself daily habits in this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits&amp;hl=pl&amp;gl=US
like, do 10 pushups each day, prepare clothes for next day in the evening, etc.
So to sum up, what you have to do is think about your big goals, and divide them into tiny daily tasks. So I guess the most important thing for you is to find a good job. And if I were you, I would divide that into different approaches. One is improving yourself, and the second is improving how you search for work.

So for the latter, just create a habit of sending at least one CV to one job offering daily, find people who could help you find work (really, ask friends, parents, teachers, anybody - they might know a guy who knows a guy who needs someone for work) and for the first thing, think about the most basic things that you could learn to be a better candidate.

https://learndigital.withgoogle.com/

https://www.coursera.org/

I am doing free courses with google, and I've applied for financial aid with Coursera, and I am learning new things there for free.

So right now, to fear about my future less, and not think that I am useless, I just do these tiny daily habits each day, and the more I am able to fulfill each day, the better I feel. Learn online courses for 10 minutes, take a walk to exercise, prepare my clothes, read for 5 minutes, clean my room, I do these in one day and suddenly I feel more like a functional adult, and not like a lost child. And after two years of struggle, I am no longer wanting to cry, quit everything, drop out of university and hide under a blanket, but I am a graduate, I have a job, and few certificates to brag with, like digital marketing, business courses, language skills, etc.

Small steps lead to big changes, man. But remember to take care of yourself, some days it's just better to relax once in a while.

Hi! I also have ADHD and I had a todoist account for years before I figured out how to make it work with my brain. (Like everything, I have periods where I don't keep it up as well as I'd like, and I've definitely been in one of those periods for a while right now. But when I first started it really clicked and I kept it up for almost two years straight, which I've never been able to do before).

The main things that have been important for me:

- Setting up a specific maintenance routine where I go through a checklist every morning and every night that forces me to process what I have to do and make sure todoist reflects reality. (I talked about my specific routines in this comment and highly recommend reading through it and adopting it, these specific habits have been crucial.) Basically I sat down and tried to identify the things that I have a hard time doing naturally, and did my best to set up Todoist to function as an executive function prosthesis? If there are times when you notice you tend to lose focus, incorporating a routine at that time of day might help to get things back on track. (Also, I don't know about you, but even though I almost always forget to take it, getting my prescription set up with my doc so that i can take a half dose in the afternoon makes a huge difference!)

- Don't use Todoist to manage DUE dates. Use todoist to manage DO dates. That's why a specific set of habits to plan my day is important, coupled with the today view/ a specific filter that functions as a today view (I do this so I only see work tasks). That way I can work off of that list and just use it specifically to tell me what I'm supposed to be working on right now, and not have to waste executive function on a big list of things and deciding/remembering what to do.

- The more low-maintenance, the better. I have often gotten lost down a rabbit hole of trying to create a perfect, detailed, organized list and then not having the mental energy left to keep it up and actually use it. I almost never look at my tasks in the project itself, so it doesn't matter if I've got tons of sections and subsections. They're informative, but do they actually help me get things done? Nope? gone! I only have really one label - "near_future", which I use to id tasks that need to stay visible, but don't have a specific date. (I have a filter that shows my upcoming days and then the near_future label at the bottom. All my tasks either have a date or that label). Most importantly, the label performs a function and drives a process. I don't have any labels that are just informational - if they help you that's great, but really analyze how they help you. I've tried in the past but truthfully blindness sets in pretty quick for anything that's not explicitly functional, so it's not actually being useful and instead it's making the maintenance process more cumbersome and increasing the liklihood that I'll drop it, either because it's inconvenient or because I wanted to maintain it perfectly and stopped because I couldn't.

- Easy ways to be able to add tasks to todoist. I use launchy pretty heavily, and I set it up so that I can enter a task with a launchy command, so no matter what i'm doing on the computer, it's only 3 keystrokes before I can enter a task. I also really like the add task badge in my android notification drawer. This helps because when something pops into my head, I can quickly get it down and get back to what I was doing and know that I've got a process in place to deal with it, compared to what I would usually do, which is have something pop into my head and immediately get lost trying to do it because if I didn't do it right away it would be gone forever. In this vein, just dropping tasks into the inbox has been really important for me - if every time I entered a task I had to categorize it and prioritize it, it would be too much effort to do reliably, and it would require enough of a gear change to be in "task maintenance mode" that I'd have left "whatever I was doing" mode.

&#x200B;

One thing I'll mention is that a lot of this was relatively easy to do because I was using it for work, which in my case meant that arriving at the office/leaving the office created built in structure to reinforce the daily routines, and I'm mostly in front of my computer so it's easy to keep todoist in view at all times.

Other non-todoist things I've found helpful:

&#x200B;

- sortd has COMPLETELY changed my life as far as email maintenance goes, because I can keep emails that need me to do something visible while still getting them out of my inbox.

- the pomodoro technique I've had mixed results - for me it's helpful for getting going, especially when I need help plowing through the "need a 45 minute break after every thirty seconds of trying to work" mood. The downside for me is that once I get on a roll, taking breaks is harder than just keeping on rolling. I like tomighty because it sits in my system tray and is easy to access but unobtrusive.

- I use loop habit tracker to remind me to take my meds.

Goals from last month

• I went to the gym 5-6 times a week except this last week of Feb, which was conscious because I was dedicating all of that time instead to standup, which was a new thing for me. I would be back into the routine now but I sprained my knee skiing, so hopefully next week I'll be good...
• I ran 2 miles twice nonstop
• Ate my supplements, drank lots of water, and wore my retainer :) thanks to this app
• Almost done with this book
• Well, by nature of getting involved with other hobbies (reading, standup, etc) I did reduce unnecessary screen time? I suppose.

Successful February, on to March!

This might be what you’re looking for.

Productive -> Loop habit tracker (Hint: use the widgets for daily habits and put them on your phone's desktop)

Do.list -> Todoist - free version will be totally fine, I've been using it for a few years already. (Extra hint: log in on their website, go into settings -> Integrations and activate 2-way sync with google calendar. You can find this setting using the browser version only. Set your reminders (I use 1 hour before the event) in google calendar, set your phone's calendar to google account if it's not already set, and you will have free notifications for all events you use Todoist for. If you need more help on this, let me know and I'll guide you through this).

Timelines -> aTimeLogger

LifeCycle -> Smarter Time

Fabulous -> Already on Android: Fabulous

No Zero Days -> Already on Android: No Zero Days

NoMo -> Sobriety Counter

Lifesum -> Already on Android: Lifesum

Pillow -> Sleep as Android

There, now all you gotta do is start working on these new habits! Good luck!

Hi! Ik heb enigszins ervaring met een paar van de dingen die je omschrijft.

Zoals je zelf ook al aangeeft, gedragsverandering is moeilijk, en als je er echt mee aan de slag wilt zou ik je zeker aanraden iemand te zoeken om je te helpen.

Het klinkt idioot, maar een psycholoog kan door alleen te luisteren al heel veel betekenen en het kan heel fijn zijn eens alles met iemand op een rijtje te zetten die verder geen enkele voorkennis over je heeft en die er gewoon een tijdlang een uur per week alleen voor jou is ;-)

Ik denk dat dit zeker niet te miniem is om mee naar de huisarts te gaan, moet je eens voorstellen dat de persoon waarnaar je doorverwezen wordt jou goed kan helpen: dan wordt jou leven veel fijner - maar functioneer je ook beter op werk!

However, huisartsen zijn niet altijd heel goed in problemen die niet puur lichamelijk zijn - maar je huisarts heeft misschien wel een netwerk van lokale hulpverleners :) Je hebt trouwens geen verwijzing van een huisarts meer nodig - dus je kan ook met google een psycholoog vinden die je aanspreekt en direct een afspraak maken.

Dan nog een aantal tips:

• Wees kritisch en zoek net zo lang naar iemand totdat je echt iemand vind waarmee je een klik hebt! Dus als het kennismakingsgesprek niet bevalt, zoek verder! Ik heb zelf meerdere dingen geprobeerd, waarvan ik achteraf gezien betwijfel of het mijn investering waard was. Totdat ik een haptonome heb gevonden die mij simpel en heel direct kon helpen - en waar ik echt heel duidelijk werd geconfronteerd met wat ik moest leren.
• Mogelijk vergoed je zorgverzekering tot een bepaald bedrag sommige behandelingen - dus check dat zeker even
• Ik weet niet in hoeverre je op je werk iemand hebt waar je hierover open mee praat - maar ik heb op mijn werk op den duur een deal kunnen maken zodat de sessies deels werden vergoed uit mijn opleidingsbudget

Tot slot, een paar linkjes naar boeken/artikelen die mij hebben geholpen - maar nothing beats real life practice:

• iProcrastinate Podcast, boek en lecture
• Marie Kondo voor wat opruim inspiratie
• Why Procrastinators Procrastinate - Wait But Why
• Non Zero Day comment en Non Zero Day subreddit
• Excersize! Klimmen & boulderen, en dat kan zeker ook in Groningen
• Superchille opensource Loop habit tracker app - om dingen die je je voorneemt elke dag of een paar keer per week te doen bij te houden.

TLDR: Denk aan je toekomstige zelf, en zoek iemand om je bij die muren vandaan te krijgen ;-)

It is android only, so no Mac. Except for that, it ticks most of your requirements

I'd highly suggest Loop Habit Tracker. It's a free, Open-source, ad-free Habit tracker. I don't think it's perfect as I'd like to be able to edit further back history but it's the best I've found. It's also on F-droid, link on their website
Google Play Store link
Loop Habits website with F-Droid link and source code
I would also highly suggest printing out David Seah's single page-desk compact calendar and using a red marker or whatever with it. You can also write you goals on the side. You can also edit it in excel if one of the versions isn't to your liking. Super satisfying when you get a lot of red Xs on there

David Seah Desk Calendar

I also personally made a very simple print out "habit tracker" that was supposed to be for a quarter of a year but doesn't exactly work correctly. I specifically made it if you have a goal like "Workout 3 times a week" then once you get those three you get to cross out the big Goal box. One day I'll rework it or find something else because I feel like none of these are perfect for me

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

Could try Loop! It's a habit builder, which I found really useful when I was finding days blurred into each other - you set some habits, and it asks if you did them, and you can see your streak on the calendar.

It's small but surprisingly it helped me at times to be held accountable to something. :)

I hope things pick up - I've been diagnosed with pretty much the same stuff for about 10 years, and it has got better with medication and time ❤

Loop Habit Tracker supports these features and it's also completely free.

I'm glad you are listening to feedback like this!

1) Awesome! Hope to see it soon then!

2) Thanks for the tip, I will try to fiddle around with that a bit and see how it suits, there is definitely a lot to this app that I still have to discover!

This is similar to my New Year's resolutions. I really want to be a better and healthier version of myself. I made a list of habits I want to make and break.

I started the beginning of this month and have been doing good but not perfect as I hoped for. But it's okay! I knew it wasn't gonna be easy and I'm trying to not be so hard on myself.

The habit ive been successful on the most is daily yoga, exercise 3x a week (exercising has never really been a habit so I'm starting small!) And learning languages.

Ones Ive been struggling with the most are smoking weed and learning piano. But in working on it.

With weed I originally said I'd go from smoking daily to once a week. I couldn't do it. So I'm starting with every other day now and work my way up.

Not sure if you care to know all that but thought I'd share a bit if my journey to being a better me. It's not going to be easy but if you are patient with yourself and pace yourself, you can do it!

A good app I use for tracking my habits is called Loop Habit Tracker

Loop Habit Tracker: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

I paid myself! Kinda like dietbet, but just for me!

When I started exercising consistently (and I've never really stopped) I made myself a deal: if I exercised 12 times in the month I could have $100 to spend on fitness related stuff.

• Although I chose 12 times to be roughly 3 times a week, I didn't care which days I exercised on. They payout was all or nothing, 11 times --> $0. I also couldn't double up on days (going for a run in the morning and the gym in the evening only counted as one day). Later on I changed my goal to be 3x in a rolling 7 day window.
• I started by tracking on a piece of paper, but have since upgraded to Loop Habit Tracker for Andriod https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits&amp;hl=en_AU&amp;gl=US
• I'm too fussy with the definition of "exercise" mostly it's 20+ min of something reasonably intense. But if I had a cold I'd squeak by with a chill yoga video. I tried to be honest with myself and my efforts but not harsh. I recently also decided 20k steps in a day would count.
• The $100 just came out of my regular savings for that month, so it wasn't really more money (my partner thought I was crazy to "pay" myself this way). But I usually wouldn't feel good about dropping that much money on lululemon leggings - this way I felt I had earned it and it was completely justified! (There's also https://www.beeminder.com/pact if you want to pay if you don't exercise.) I now spend $25/week on the gym, and set aside an additional $5-10/week for new clothes (if you're in Australia, I use https://up.com.au/ for this and it's awesome!)
• I don't beat myself up too badly if I miss. Last year was the first time in ~5 years that I met my goal for the whole year. Previously I didn't exercise much on holiday, or I got a cold, or there was too much going on. With covid I was about to be really consistent (yay...). And this last Sept I upped my goal to 4x in a 7 day window :)

I'm using Loop Habit Tracker. You can set reminders that show up on specific days and times, or just pick a time and it will remind the appropriate number of times per week.

Loop is my favorite habit tracker for this exact reason. 1 x 1 widget, tap to complete. You can even customize the color it turns upon completion.

Dailyhabits traker, put a reminder at like 10 if i usually eork at 9. Very usefull on lunch time

You can use a track app. I use Loop. It has multiple widgets and the calendar of all the days you complete that habit

1). You could probably use Assistant Reminders to accomplish daily reminders. For more of a habit tracking app, I recommend Loop.

2). This functionality is built into Digital Wellbeing.

3). When I think organization, I include money, so I definitely recommend the budget app YNAB.

you could use an app like loop habit tracker then just set up daily reminders for each of your foods.

Here's my take.

First, good on you. You're playing life on a way harder difficulty level than I am and are doing it important work, and I have massive respect.

I have read Atomic Habits, and it's got a lot of very granular info on how to increase compliance with good habits and decrease frequency of bad ones. I would recommend the read, if you can find the time.

This is a cheat sheet relating to the book: https://images.app.goo.gl/8Ye682E38gZxJyVL8

I'm sure there's discussion of each step on the intarwebz if you want to get a head start.

Here's the things I would recommend from my own bag of tricks.

• Get your phone to be on your side. Kill off any and all unnecessary notifications, then find a habit tracker app (I like Loop: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits) you like and set notifications that seem to make sense.
  
• Start small. Pick a few (like 2-3) habits and work on them until they're comfortable before adding more... That can be hard for me, as I want to build my whole sky castle before actually laying any physical bricks, lol.
• implementation intentions might be the first habit you should start: take a few minutes before or during your first meal of the day to plan when you want to do each habit, make that a commitment, and set a phone alarm.

I think I might be back tomorrow with some more thoughts as this percolates in my brain. If not, or until then, good luck!

Why not?

This reminds me of a suicide jumper from the Golden Gate Bridge who survived and said that he realized during the fall, every single one of his problems was solvable in one way or another (if not the issue itself, then how he was looking at it as huge of a problem as it actually wasn't). You don't want to be getting air time when realizing that!

>I'm told therapy helps but it's been years of it and I'm worse off now than I've ever been.

But have you been seeing the same crappy therapist that whole time? It may take many people before you can finally find an actually good fit. There also may just happen to be no good fits of counselors within your reach, which is not your fault. Sometimes, or possibly oftentimes, a friend being a mature confidant is more effective.

<strong>Loop Habit Tracker</strong> (100% free, but available only on Android, sadly :() is just so cool! Its widgets feature really is what helped me achieved my goals for the last few weeks. You simply cannot avoid looking at what you should be doing.

I actually tried this app in the past, but I couldn't stick with it, because its interface didn't impress me, nor was it satisfying enough to keep me hooked. You'd have to tap on a habit and scroll down a bit to see this calendar that's on my home screen - and that single tap was enough for me to uninstall the app, as I couldn't easily see my progress.

Now, after I found out about its widgets feature (on an older post from this subreddit, in fact) - it's THE best! I wholeheartedly recommend it to all you Android users! I mean it's totally free (it doesn't even accept donations), so why not give it a shot?

And about my habits, here is what I managed to achieve in the last month: > Morning - wake up at between 7:00AM - 7:30AM every day (the app <em>Sleep Cycle</em> wakes me up at the optimal time during this timeframe, so I don't wake up tired in the morning) and do my routine, which includes journaling for 30 minutes and meditating for 10 minutes.

> Study - study for university, for at least 1 hour every day.

> Project - work on my personal programming project for at least 1 hour every day.

> NoSurf - I am particularly proud of this one, as its "requirement" is staying off of distracting sites (such as Reddit or YouTube) when not searching for anything SPECIFIC. Basically, I can finally say that I overcame mindless scrolling for good. It's replacement, by the way, are audiobooks :).

> Night - go to bed at exactly 10:30PM, every day. After all, if I want to wake up early, then I must go to bed early.

I used a habit tracking app starting Jan 1, 2019 and was able to kick the 25+ year habit of biting my nails!

If anyone needs the app I used this one to check in every evening asking "Did you bite your nails today?"

After about a month of it I was able to do it. I still get urges every now and then but I pull out a nail clipper and chop those suckers down if I can't kick the fixation.

Nice job OP and if I can do it, I fully believe anyone can.

Get Loop Habit Tracker and sic it on anything that you'd like to be more consistent at, from events occurring once a day to once a year! This is perhaps the best app that has changed my life.

Congratulations on your achievements. I am using loop habit tracker, you can add as many things as you want, set up alarms and such. Check it out and tell me what you think

I can't speak to syncing across devices, though there is import/export. Should have everything else you need. It's even free.

Loop habit tracker is open source and it's free. It's best one after trying so many tracker apps. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits&amp;hl=en&amp;gl=US

I just hit my 7 week milestone yesterday. I'd like to thank everyone who encouraged me in my previous posts.

I am still considering what goaks to set myself now. Of course I am going to continue building on these habits but I don't know if I should add more. I am considering learning Blender, journalling, or posting progress logs to youtube.

I am using an Android app called Loop Habit Tracker

Loop Habit Tracker. Best way to track "Have I done that today or not?" Includes the option to set up reminders at certain times on certain days.

Yeah its an app. Im on android so i dont know whats available on apple. I've been using habitbull(just called 'habit tracker' on play store) if you only want to track a few, it needs a subscription to track more than 5 activities. Ive also used loop habit tracker its totally free and really easy to use and can track a lot. Id recommend looking at both but there is plenty out there.

Ive been using them to take care of myself too. Making sure i drink enough water, wash enough, get up at a reasonable time, etc. All helps towards self care.

For better home screen customization, I use Lawnchair laucher. Currently without any custom theme, to reduce the ammount of time I spend tinkering with it.

My browser is Firefox.

My productivity apps are from the Google ecosystem:

• Google Tasks
• Google Calendar
• Gmail
• Google Keep

I also use the Loop Habit Tracker.

For larger projects, I use Trello. In the past I would use it for everything, but I would loose a lot of time tinkering with it instead of working.

For entertainment:

• Boost for Reddit
• Spotify
• Pocket Casts (best Android app ever, IMO).

My password manager is KeePassDX, with its database synced using Syncthing.

For reading:

• Pocket
• Wikipedia official app
• Lithium e-book reader

On the desktop side, I use the Fedora Workstation operating system with Gnome Calendar, Gnome Todo and Geary for syncing calendar, tasks and e-mail with Google services. I also use GSConnect to see my phone notifications and a pomodoro gnome extension.

I use VSCodium for writing code, Setzer for LaTeX and Apostrophe for markdown writing.

did you even do a basic search if there is already an app that does what you are trying to do? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

Since another user covered a lot I just wanted to mention what I do to help myself get stuff done.

I have an app on my phone: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

Can use it to make a scheduled habit for any set time frame(everyday, once every 7, and so on) and can have it remind you to do them. I have mine for some of the simplest things like brush teeth in the morning and another for brush teeth before bed. I also have stuff like "exercise for 10 mins" every other day. and take a vitamin daily. I also have one that's just "clean a bit" daily. It lets me check off something and feel a little more positive in my day just for throwing a wrapper out or putting a dish in the sink rather than allowing for stuff to pile up. It's kind of a reminder that every little bit helps and splitting things across multiple days is ok.

I also have an easy access note pad on my phones home screen for any one off things I need to remember. like looking up a song I heard, putting something away, or to get around to reading a book I want to read.

Also if you want to read something more: https://www.reddit.com/r/NonZeroDay/wiki/the_four_pillars?utm_source=reddit&amp;utm_medium=usertext&amp;utm_name=NonZeroDay&amp;utm_content=t5_2z1yj

No more zero days helped me be less hard on myself. So maybe that can help you too.

I just looked and in Google play it's listed as Loop Habit Tracker by Álinson Xavier, the symbol is a blue circle with a white loop arrow inside. If it works here is the link

This one is free and open source - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits&amp;hl=en&amp;gl=US

Not sure about "per day" though, but it has you covered for "per week" and up

If you were asking what app I am using it is called Loop Habit Tracker

The app I am using is called Loop Habit Tracker It is an android app. I have no clue if it has an iOS app.

The app has a few other widgets that are pretty handy too. Actually, that is a picture of one of my side screens, here is a picture of my home screen. The second row down is made up of buttons that let me quickly mark the day. The row below that is a view of my longest streaks I anticipate using when I get further along.

And below that is are widgets from a different app called Countdown. It, well, lets me see countdowns to calendar dates. It has a bunch of different looking dials but it isn't quite as slick looking sadly. That is probably the best-looking one I've found that has the feature I want(progressive bar going around the dial). That is just what I have settled on for now.

The exercise goal is mostly just to walk the dog. Originally it was just meant to be 5 days of the week but I've been trying to keep it up with the others. We will see how that holds up over the winter though. I will probably have to dust off the old treadmill.

Since it was asked when I first posted my cards, I guess I'll preempt the question at the risk of sounding like I am advertising. The app I am using is called [Loop Habit Tracker](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits)
It is an android app. I have no clue if it has an iOS app.

It's simple but I really like Loop!

Might be this one. I use it and notice it's got integration https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

This has helped me a lot with making routines and habits (I'm not sure if the app store has this but if you have an android then you're good!) I hope you find the app or tips you need :)

Loop Habit Tracker. Set recurring reminder for 6pm, and if it's already checked off for the day then it won't send a notification.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

I started using Loop Habit Tracker. It is a great, free and open source habit tracker app with a clean and easy interface. Easy to check off your done habits via notifications on your phone as well on my watch.

Playstore link

I have pretty bad memory issues. My phone is my lifeline in a million ways.

Especially the Loop Habit Tracker. A whole page of my phone is nothing but the widgets from this app that I can single tap to "complete". These include (but aren't limited to) each meal I need to eat in the day, my medication, physical therapy (twice a day), brushing my teeth, etc. I no longer have to ask myself if I've eaten: I know I did if the button is blue. This is especially helpful when I need to know in order to tell a doctor. "How often have you do your PT?" "According to my phone, 7 days last week, but only 6 this week". It also has reminders you can set up too, so like... a med I take every two weeks, I know for fact when I need to take it and when I already have.

That handles the every day repetitive things. For anything that's not that regular, it all goes into my calendar app. I schedule there, and then I also put notes inside those events after they've completely. Like if I have to call the doctor about something, I get the reminder to do it and then once done I put what the doctor said in the event as well.

For everything else, I have a spreadsheet. What movies do I own? Spreadsheet. Books? Spreadsheet. Who are my doctors? Spreadsheet. What money have I spent? Spreadsheet. Most of them are even within the same spreadsheet, just different tabs. Helps me keep track.

It seems like a lot, but most of this shit takes me literal seconds now. It's a perfected system now that took me years to set up initially, but now I've got it down to the letter. If I were to set someone up with all this now, it would probably take minutes to do the initial building and then a few weeks for them to fine tune it with the things they personally need and benefit from.

You're doing great - taking the first steps to make a change, is already progress in itself! :) For me, I'm really big on tracking things and I've also recently found accountability groups/study hubs really keep me focused!

I use the Loop Habit Tracker app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits&amp;hl=en_US) to remind me of my goal and to visualize my progress. You can pin reminders to your phone notifications, so you can't swipe them away (I found that I'd often used to swipe reminders as a way to "get to them later"), and it also has nice graphs to motivate you to keep streaks. It's made me stick to my weekly exercise goals and personal journal writing goals much better!

As for studying/getting schoolwork done, I found that if I didn't schedule focus time in, I'd never get started... And that's the hardest part. I discovered at the start of the school year that my uni offers virtual study hubs over Zoom, where students across the uni would get together for scheduled, 2-hour chunks of time to work on whatever stuff we need to get done.

At the beginning of each session, we share our goal for the session, have a 10 minute break in the middle, and then share our accomplishments at the end of the session. No matter if we didn't reach our goal entirely, everyone still gives kudos to each other for what was done! I think these kinds of groups are becoming more popular, so maybe check if your school/uni offers something similar.

I think that there are also accountability groups you could join around reddit that could help as well!

Get Loop - Habit Tracker (or a similar app if you're on iOS) and set a negative habit in which you only fill the activity if you did go for that day. Focus more on your overall trend than just going cold turkey immediately. But if porn is a factor, then that definitely should go ASAP.

Loop Habit Tracker

It's simple to use and is very minimalistic on the main page, but if you click on a habit then you'll also see some useful statistics like the current streak, a calendar with highlighted days and in which days of the week you did your tasks most often.

Habits I guess I don't spend a ton of time on it since it is very streamlined and simple, but I love this app and never see anyone talk about it.

It's called Loop Habit Tracker. I absolutely love this one. It has widgets, so I have a whole screen that I can just tap off once something is done, and I color code them by type. I think this is the only app I've ever reviewed xD I would honestly probably have more to say about it if I wasn't half asleep, lol

I use Habits on Android.

Loop Habit Tracker

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

I recommend it as well. It's minimalist, focus on building habits not the app.

SaladLeafs is using Loop Habit Tracker

I use "Loop Habit Tracker", a smartphone app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

I like it because it's extremely simple, and because I can put widgets on my home screen for each habit that light up when I touch them. Seeing as I already spend an unhealthy amount of time looking at my phone, seeing all the things I'm supposed to be doing every day right there is really motivating. I also have a special category of habits that are relatively easy but I consider absolutely required (brushing teeth, having a vitamin, etc) which I look at every night before going to bed. If they're not done, I get 'em done, since they're so easy but sometimes also easy to forget.

Here's my current &quot;status&quot; displayed on my home screen for today.

They're pretty general, like "Creative", but I prefer it that way. These are all things I want to do more of but sometimes lack the focus or drive to do them. Lately I've been trying to think of more. You can also set it to remind you on a daily basis. It's less of a to do list and more of a recurring habit tracker for stuff you want to do daily or x times per week.

I'm use a app Loop :https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

I've been through this phase several times. My suggestion is to dilate every other day and to treat it like just a part of your daily routine. Everybody's self-care routine looks different, and this is just part of our routine. I know it is so tempting and frustrating to calculate all the time we spend on it and how else we could use that time, but this is just what our path looks like.

If you are truly having a horrible day, then maybe don't bother with dilators. Instead, maybe you could do a 10 minute meditation, diaphragm breathing, relaxing pelvic floor yoga stretches. That's better than nothing! FemFusionFitness has some great videos. Personally, I listen to this song (lol) while I lay on the floor with my legs up in a chair and do belly breathing for 10 minutes. Then I repeat the song and do yoga poses like happy baby, Child's pose, deep squats, Supta Baddha Konasana.

After that, I do dilators for 30 minutes. After months and months of dilator work, I started watching Netflix or other shows during dilator work. haha! Dilating had become a really dark cloud over my life and I just didn't want to do it anymore, and this really helped. Often I'll dilate for even an hour as I keep watching shows.

I also used a habit tracker app. I used Loop Habit Tracker which is really easy and helpful. I would give myself a check-off for breathing/meditation, stretches, and dilators. Then I developed a system of rewards for x number of checks. Treat yo self!

I have actually used Loop Habit Tracker by Xavier (the one mentioned in the second paragraph - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits) for the past 3 years and really like it! I never tried using it with my watch though, but it is a great free habit tracker. Helped me clock in, quit smoking, exercise, read regularly, and keep up with my work. Highly recommended

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

Habits is great because you can set a frequency of task. For example you have to do something 3 times in 7 days; you then choose on which days you do the tasks, within the rolling 7-day period.

I like that this means you can skip a task on one day if you can't manage it, and then catch up later in the week. You still complete the task at the required weekly rate because the reminder comes up again on the next day, and you avoid the guilt of missing a reminder because you know it will come up again.

I use an app called Loop Habit Tracker

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

I like it because you can program how many days a week, set reminders, color code, simple check off process, and when you select the habit it gives you graphs, calendars and charts showing how well you've been keeping that habit.

I also recomend setting certain habits as rewards. For me, I don't allow myself to look at Reddit until I've checked off 1/3rd of my daily habits. Since I have that as a habit itself I can track how often I meet that milestone.

Loop Habit Tracker sounds like something that be helpful. You have to specify how often you are expected to do it, but this is only done for the "score" purpose. Otherwise you can just tag when you do it.

Study every day. Use a program like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits&amp;hl=en_CA that will remind you to do it, and track the days you did it.

studying for 5 minutes counts. Mark it off as a day completed.

Desensitize yourself to studying and the negatives thoughts around it.

You can study for 5 minutes. Maybe tomorrow it'll be 6. Some days you won't study. The more days you complete, the more you will want to complete.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

Sure thing. I use several both on smart phone as well as on my laptop on Chrome:

> Android apps

Loop Habit Tracker - this I use for building positive habits; I like this the most since it's a simple interface and no ads and provides detailed stats.

Sober Time - this one I use for quitting bad habits. It's actually supposed to be for quitting well-known addictions like drinking and smoking, but at the core it's basically a timer for how long you've abstained from any bad habit; I find it really useful for tracking my own addictions like Internet surfing, Youtube, sugary foods, etc. It also allows you to add a note every time you relapse and provides stats of your previous streaks.

Fitnotes - for logging workouts.

Other apps I've used sporadically that might be useful: Habitica (doing your habits lets you level up an RPG character), Forest (plant fictional trees while you focus for X number of hours)

> Chrome apps

Marinara Pomodoro Assistant - a Pomodoro timer where you time yourself for 30 minutes during which you focus intensely on your task and then take 3 minute break. Then start again. Helps a lot with improving focus; been using it on average 6 hours a day since Feb. Best Chrome app imo.

Stayfocusd - a website blocker. If I really wanna go monk mode for a few days, it's got a Nuclear Option that allows you to completely block your chosen distracting websites for everything from a few minutes to several days on end. Looking at your OP, this might be useful to block social media when you see yourself falling back into poorer habits. It also has a feature where you can block for a certain time block every day.

Webtime Tracker - tracks how much time you spend on each website; idk for me a good reminder for sites to avoid if I've previously spent too much time on them.

Okay thank you!

I am using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits currently. I really like how it sends reminders. I haven't tested snap habit enough but maybe it does the same?

I'm using this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

In addition to the alarm on your phone you could try using a habit tracker. I use this one, which is very simple, but there are a lot more options available. It helps me because I want to not break my streak. Set a timer for 2 minutes of brushing and just scroll through Reddit/Facebook/etc. to make the time go faster.

(Loop Habit Tracker)[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits] and (Todoist)[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.todoist]

There's an app called Loop Habit Tracker in playstore. It's very simple and user friendly. You might want to give it a try. I personally like it so much.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

Hey I'm not sure which one the person you responded to was using, but I currently use Loops Habbit Tracker for all my substances, including vitamins and workout routines. It is very simple to use and you can customize it yourself.

• 𝙳𝚒𝚛𝚎𝚌𝚝 𝙻𝚒𝚗𝚔

Yes. I use loops habit tracker currently for all my substance habits, but it would be nice with the added features like you said. Keep us updated OP. I'll be sure to use this for this very profound substance specifically, because it is a tricky one, which is why I often avoid it; but with a app like this I may look into using microdoses.

In case anyone else stumbles across this, for the time being, you can use Loops Habbit Tracker ^^^Android ^^^Link Until Op, or myself does sit down and make a specific app for DXM usage

I currently use Loops for all my Habbits, both positive and negative. It is very simple to use, so it shall do, for now.

This app called Loop is great: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

Is for creating habits and has a widget that lets you put all the habits you're building with different colors say, in your main screen, and when you're done with one you check it and it changes to the color of the habit (when unchecked they remain transparent) and shows a checkmarck. For me is very practical and motivating. The app also has some statistics of your progress

Loop Habit Tracker. Straightforward, lightweight and powerful way of making sure you keep to your habits.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

Congrats! If I were you, I'd celebrate by getting a habit-tracking app (like Loop - Habit Tracker, if you use Android) and start logging my multi-day streak to keep it up.

>I wish I could be better

Well, it's a process for everyone. You have to have a documentable path of recovery:

1. Why are you like this? Rarely are people born like this. 99.99% of the time it's the result of your sucky childhood due to poor parenting. I was there too (maybe not as bad as yours but it still sucked). Identify all contributing factors. You must know your enemy before you can defeat it.

2. What steps are you taking to address it? Every step must be verifiable and cannot remain in your head:

   1. Journal/Regularly use a diary. CBT techniques like mood logs might shed some insight on what cognitive distortions you're falling prey to (like magnification, mind-reading, self-blame or worming-your-way-out-of-blame, etc.).
   2. Back away from unproductive stuff and regularly check out places like /r/DecidingToBeBetter, /r/GetDisciplined, and /r/GetMotivated. I love /r/QuotesPorn, personally.
   3. Seek out mature confidants who can help you understand why you perceive things in the way that you do. (This does not necessarily mean professionals; I was helped by strictly friends or friends-of-friends without psychology degrees, and actually had zero positive results from seeing a professional counselor.) Be open to considering talking to people even if you think they might not be able to help you all that much. I did so and was blown away.
   4. Get and use a habits app if not already. (As an Android user, I dig Loop Habit Tracker, which changed my life.) Set daily reminders to keep yourself on track.
   5. I even use MacroDroid to send myself customized, self-affirming notifications. I even have one of the notifs targeting a specific, physical, irremovable blemish on myself that I've always detested, which I'm trying to rewire my brain to accept and love.

But...

The first step is that you must be willing to put in the work of self-improvement. Yes, it's hard, but, to me, there's no other alternative, since the current situation is intolerable to me, but I don't know if it is intolerable to you. I've been trying to help another person like you improve, for 3 years now and counting. The only thing she's done so far is kick a soda addiction and lay her opinion straight towards some attention-parasites in her social life. I don't understand why she doesn't try to do more after I've already provided so many detailed, concrete, SMART ("Measurable," "Attainable," "Timely," etc.) steps. I think she can just tolerate herself, unbelievably enough, even though I'm pretty sure with her current, unhealthy-on-multiple-levels lifestyle, she'll die from a heart attack in her 40's or earlier. You have to first realize that your current state is intolerable and want to dig out of the pit, or else nothing anyone else says will have any effect.

Agreed. Entirely customizable periods might be the only thing holding me back from moving away from Loop Habit Tracker, which can set "every X periods."

/u/ziggycrane, kudos to beating the file size of Loop, which is already insanely small!

Try this for starters.

Gɾҽαƚ JσႦ  ͡ᵔ ͜ʖ ͡ᵔ  | *✺ | ☞✧

I wrote a post about practice routine some time ago, you might want to check it out :)

Looking at your particular practice routine:

• Make it more concise and sustainable. So you are putting in 4 hours of playing per day? For how long? Can you keep it up 4-5 days per week for the next year? Try to redesign it, so you can touch all bases in 1,5-2h per day, because that's more sustainable. If you are not making a living out of it, it might be hard to keep up with 4h regime.
• Contraction and release structure. Practice new, harder stuff first (breathe in). Old easy stuff last (breathe out).
• There's no soloing without backing rhythm guitar. So practice playing good rhythm guitar before practicing solo guitar. Ideally, have a looper, so first you create some good backing loop with some chord progression, that you will then solo over next.
• Warm-up exercise/lick should make your hand feel warm and tired, but not painful.
• Don't start your playing session with tone fiddling, start with tones you already have, search for new tones/patches at the very end. Experimenting with tone settings is very distracting, but it's fun, so it's a nice reward after putting down focused work.
• I would do Ear Training (5-10min) -> Warm-up (5min) -> Rhythm Exercise (5-10min) -> Technical stuff like chord changes, difficult licks (10-15min) -> Rhythm guitar (20min) -> Solo guitar (20min) -> New songs / Transcribing -> Old songs -> Tone searching.
• Don't overplay songs that you are already proficient at. Practice only difficult parts. Play whole song only from time to time to see if everything glues properly. Playing songs that you are bored with is a waste of time. It's better to spend time learning new stuff.
• Learn to make music with one scale fingering + one string. You don't need to learn all scale fingerings at once. If you can make music/solo with one, then learning next fingerings will be much easier. There are countless iconic solos that only use first pentatonic fingering.
• Use some app to track your routine, Loop Habit Tracker on Android is the best one for me. It's free and it's better than the ones you need to pay for.

Kind of late to the party, but you can try Loop Habit Tracker. It's to-the-point and has a calendar view.

The most basic (but excellent in its simplicity) habit tracker I've found is Tickmate. It hasn't been updated in 3 years, but I guess it doesn't have to be. It's literally a scrollable grid, and you can check a box or not check it, and that's about it. It has a rudimentary stats view, but you don't have to open it at all if you don't want to.

A bad temper, from my experience, is a direct result of being too harsh on yourself. Chronic, excessive criticism of others is typically the boiling over of even-harder criticism on yourself. There is no point in trying to reduce your temper against others if you don't first work on shutting down self-criticism.

Porn is also a habit worth defeating, which like all habits, is done by replacing it with any healthier habit.

>I still don't really know how to commit to something.

External accountability helps. I personally live partly off of Loop Habit Tracker, personally. You can use this for any negative or positive habits (to check off for the day when you did or didn't do something that you didn't want to or did).

TL;DR: you can totally change! It does require effort, though.

I structure my practice sessions like this:

1. Ear training.
2. Rhythm guitar / rhythm exercises.
3. [5min] Placeholder for "mundane stuff", technical problems. For example if some chord change is not smooth, I practice it here.
4. Solo guitar.
5. New songs / Transcribing.
6. Old songs.

I make sure not to start things with stuff I already know. I only play old songs last, so they are like reward for pushing myself earlier during practice session.

I also use "Loop Habit Tracker" on Android phone for planning and tracking. It's free and has functions that are premium in other pricey apps like Todoist.

Instead of "exercising" habit, I put for example "[20min] Rhythm Guitar". And I tick it done during my practice session ;)

I use Habits. It's really nice and handy. Totally recommend.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

The best thing you can do is to get a teacher, to help you identify what you already can do and what are your weaknesses.

Even in your post, you didn't specify what is your current level, what things you can play, what tempo, what techniques, how's your ear training, how's your rhythm guitar / solo guitar etc.

You also didn't specify what you want to achieve and what you want to do in the future with music. Do you want to play in a bands? Create YouTube channel with covers or your original content? Do you want to be better at arranging songs for fingerstyle? Composing fingerstyle?Do you want to improv better?

No info.

"Just getting better" is a frustrating goal, because what's the measure of success?

Anyway, it all comes down to creating a reasonable plan to achieve your goals (Loop Habit Tracker on Android is a great app for creating a practice plan), being disciplined to do it.

But you can't progress on discipline alone, you need to make your practice fun. If you have trouble with that, a good teacher can infuse a bit of fun into your practice.

Also you can progress on guitar 50% faster if you make it a social activity. Just have it in mind.

It's also nice to use some app for planning and tracking your practice routine. If you are on Android, then maybe Loop Habit Tracker. For free, it's hard to beat it.

Todoist is nice, but for stuff like progress charts they want you to pay big bucks.

During your playing session, play and practice new stuff first, old stuff last as a reward ;) This will ensure you will keep pushing your progress forward.

This video from Acoustic Life can be really helpful to get your mindset about practicing right.

This is the most effective way to practice songs: How To Memorize Music Fast By Practicing Songs Backwards at some point this approach really made a big difference for my playing.

Also practice restraint. Don't play full songs too often just for yourself. If you know it, then play it full for your friends and family.

If you know whole song, but only one or two parts out of ten pose a difficulty for you, then don't practice what you already know. Practice only those two problematic parts (and do it in reverse order). Play it full from time to time just to check if you can glue it together, but don't overplay, learn new songs instead!

I use a habit tracker app and work my way through daily habits of yoga, meditation, reading and improving my touch typing speed. It can be fairly monotonous at times but I'm doing my best to be productive and focus on my personal well-being and growth.

This app is FLOSS, it's available on F-Droid here (and on Google Play here).

I didn't install it but I have two questions:

1. What does it do that Loop doesn't? (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits&amp;hl=en)

2. Why is it so big? It takes 42MB more than Loop.

Keep coding!

I like this one a lot: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits It seems to have what you want inside the app and some great widgets too.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

Hey I'm not OP but I researched it and found out it's an Android app called Loop:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

Loop Habit tracker

I use an app that I check every day https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits&amp;hl=en_US

I have Android - I just use my habit tracker and make it a "habit" that I'm tracking, in addition to my other actual habits. Very easy to use.

Loop habit tracker

Try this one...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

Loop Habit Tracker sounds like what you need

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

You tick off your regular routines, and can have reminder notifications if you need them.

Loop Habit Tracker!

eu usava o https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits&amp;hl=en

mas veja o /r/theXeffect. acho que anotar em papel é melhor

This is exactly like bullet journaling for goals and I found an app that sends me reminders and it changed my life last year. For the first time I actually began meeting goals.

This is the app; https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits&amp;hl=en_US

You could also write it down on paper or in an excel sheet. In the example link that OP provided in another comment, basically they would pick the bottom tier of their goal - the smaller things that help achieve their ultimate goal (attend toastmasters, read, etc) and put those on the list and try to do it every day/once a week, etc.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

Loop Habits Tracker

Great app, free and open source

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

I use Loop Habit Tracker

From the UI, it looks like the Loop - Habit Tracker app

Loop - Habit tracker

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

&#x200B;

I use it too. You can input how many times that you want to do that habit a week and you can have unlimited tasks.

Install this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits&amp;hl=en
Then add a habit "learn to draw for at least 2 minutes". Then add a widget on your phone's home screen. Trust me, you'll see that habit charging and you won't let it down.

Two thoughts: you could try using a habit-tracking app to keep tabs on what you want to improve on. I find it to be surprisingly motivational to check each task every day. (This app is great and gives you statistics about how you're doing: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits) Also, get a CGM. I couldn't go back to what life was like before one!

It's called &quot;Loop - Habit Tracker&quot;.

Loop?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

Otherwise, search for 'habit tracker' in the app store.

I use Loop - Habit Tracker.

I'm more data oriented so what I'll see in the app is how often I do something and the strength of that habit. Its visuals include a line graph and a calendar that fills in a colour indicating you did the behaviour on that day.

Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

What I think is missing from most habit apps is frequence in one day. Sure it tells you if you did one instance of behaviour today but what if I repeated in the same day? Gonna try to figure out how to make that app.

Most todo apps have recurring tasks feature. Or maybe something like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

I'm bad at everything routine related, heh...

But recently I've been using a routine related app called Loop Habits (I don't know if it's the best one out there but it suits me and it's free/ad-less). I have a lot of things on it so it forces me to look at it everyday and it kind of helps me see if I have things on track and if I'm actually abiding by my tasks. If I don't do certain tasks I'll have glaring Xs staring at me everyday... At this point I'm used to checking on it multiple times per day to get that sweet satisfaction of checkmarking done tasks.

(There are some good iOS apps too but I'm too lazy to search)

App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

Alternatives: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oristats.habitbull https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.habitnow

It's called "Loop - Habit Tracker".

Here is the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

Loop - Habit Tracker (Android)

I use Loop Habit Tracker for the purpose you describe. You can use notifications of you want or disable them and simply use one of the widgets.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

I've been using Loop Habit Tracker for those same things for the past year, the interface is nice and it just works.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

Doesn't look like there's real integration, but I did find this on GitHub, which involves having a computer somewhere run this command every few hours. Not sure if that's a solution that would work for you. It looks pretty buggy and there's still a lot of features planned but not implemented, but it might work for you?

Personally I use Looper and spend a minute every day checking off the things that I need to for that day. I've thought it would be cool to have it automatically, but it really doesn't take that long and I enjoy the feeling of accomplishment being able to check it off myself.

Depends on the app, I guess. I too don't remember having trouble with Whatsapp, but for the life of me, I could not get this one to work reliably on MIUI: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

Most of the time the reminders didn't even work. Sometimes the notifications showed up but got lost when I closed the drawer. It was a painful experience, all around.

Yesterday I flashed a custom ROM and now everything works smoothly, without any additional tinkering or workarounds.

on android you have:

• Loop https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits&amp;hl=en
• Regularly https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ugglynoodle.regularly&amp;hl=en

Das macht die App selber, ich hack nur ab, ob ich es gemacht habe oder nicht. Und wenn ich es halt mache, geht die Stärke hoch, und wenn ich es skippe, geht die runter.

Das steht in deren Beschreibung:

>Habit PunkteUm dir deine Schwächen zu zeigen, hat Loop einen Algorithmus, um deine starken Angewohnheiten zu erkennen. Jede Wiederholung verstärkt diese und jedes Aussetzen schwächt sie. Aber ein paar Verfehlungen nach langem Durchhalten machen natürlich nicht gleich alles zu nichte.

&#x200B;

Ist diese hier, falls es dich interessiert: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

&#x200B;

EDIT: Habe gerade eine neue Gewohnheit hinzugefügt und anscheinend pro Hacken gehen 5% hoch. Ich weiß nicht wie viel es runter geht, wenn ich einen Tag skippe.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

Sure, I'd love to expand on this. I suggest brainstorming a list of hobbies you're interested in any order. Next, rank them by interest in order to prioritize. It's exciting you want to make changes in your life, but you don't want to overwhelm yourself. Slowly add these hobbies or goals in your daily routine to build habits. Some general advice to give you direction, Pick a hobby that 1) Makes you money, 2) Keeps you Fit, and 3) that let's you be Creative.

For example, 1) Programming / Web Design / Design Software / Video Editing / Marketing , 2) Team Sport / Gym. 3) Playing Guitar / Drawing / Material Crafting. Picking 1 for each "area". There's a ton of courses to guide you on most subjects. Create a lesson plan and goals you want to reach. This should be more than enough o get your started. List of Lynda Subjects to give you an idea (Your local library may provide you free access).

Also, I use some apps to keep myself organized. 1) Digital Notebook for organizing notes. 2) I use an app called "Loop" as a habit tracker and to keep myself accountable.

Loop - Habit Tracker available for Android..

I have spend months on finding a decent habit tracking app, and this was the first time when I was jealous from iOS developers because there are many good looking and good working apps for iOS but not many for android.

so in the end I was able to conclude:
Loop - Habit - overall best app.
HabitHub - if you want more options to record, like counts. everyday - if you can spend monthly subscription, then go for it.

RemindMe! 5 days

I use Loop https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits&amp;hl=en

It's not just for sobriety, you can track any habits with it.

Loop Habit Tracker maybe.

Also an app called Boosted (search "pub:Boosted Productivity" on the Play Store, sharing is glitching on me) that does that sort of thing.

A different approach is Loop Habit Tracker

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

This app is really useful to me. On android, you can make widgets that act as checkboxes for predefined habits. I use it to remind me to do things I need to do every day.

(The widgets are slightly buggy on Android Pie, at least with the Total Launcher. App works fine, the widgets occasionally turn invisible, but still work if you tap where they should be)

Also, for general reminders, Google Keep is amazing, since I can access it from both my laptop and phone.

Looks nice. Before I try this, how is it different from habits? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

Have you tried this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits ?

Put "write 100 words" into HabitLoop. Check it off each day.

Oh sorry, here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits I don't just just it for NoFap though.

This app might help you if you are using an android phone.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

There is. I just forget the name. Lemme try n see if I can find it

E: Not the one I was thinking of but https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

I use Loop - Habit Tracker and just check every day off to track streaks etc.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

Dedicated apps that track money not wasted etc. are likely nice, but I don't need them currently.

If you're looking for something simple, Loop is a really nice habit tracker. You can even measure your habit strength across days, weeks, and months (it also has a yearly option). It has really simple and effective UI, plus you can set reminders.

Loop Habit Tracker (Track your habits and long-term goals):

• F-droid
• Play Store

And no, it's not my app or anything like that. (I am no dev)

Use this open-source app to help you create habits.

Have a look at loop for android... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

Well, I have premium subscription of Todoist so the following points are for premium version of Todoist :

1. My system is very simple, I don't believe in complex ones, I have labels on the basis of

• How intensive is Task : High OR Low
• When it has to be done: Morning, afternoon, evening & Night
• How much time it will take Roughly correlates with intensity: 1min, 10 min & 30 min
• Reoccurrence rate : Weekly, Monthly & Yearly (for Daily tasks I use this app )
• Type of transection : credit, debit, subscription & bill
• Type of Reminder : Tickler (General reminders), Birthdays & Anniversaries (I feed alerts of 1 month before & 1 week before the due date so that I can plan the events and purchase gifts)
• Other few labels relating to my studies

1. Now you can mix above mention labels and projects to create filters by which you can target specific tasks, for example, tasks that has to be done in morning, which are less intensive & will take 10 min

2. I have 4-5 Projects

I'm bad at adding stuff as well. I use Loop on Android to help get into the groove of it.

Loop - Habit Tracker

I have the same feeling using your app.

What feature your app has that Habbit Loop does not have? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

Try using Loop - Habit Tracker with a daily notification. This free (and open source) app is fantastic in how clean and focused it is for exactly this task.

Loop - Habit Tracker is what I use.

Loop Habit Tracker. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits&amp;hl=en

I'm not sure it allows notes in the sense you have in mind. But it is open source and comes with no bullshit.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

Has a number of widgets, one of them a calendar style monthly tracker. Free, no ads, open source, sensible permissions.

Sorry I mixed up the name. It's Loop Habit Tracker.

Loop is fantastic and open source. One of the easiest and fastest way of setting up. Also you can setup notifications to keep you in top of your habits.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

It's not as convenient as one specifically geared for the task that you seek, but you could use Loop - Habit Tracker and set a separate habit for each instance per day (for example: Med × 1, Med × 2, Med × 3). It has really cool 1x1 optional check-mark widgets per habit and habits can be configured to reset daily.

Otherwise it sounds like this app needs to be built, or at least I don't know of anything that can do this.

I use the default timer on my phone and the free and open-source Loop Habit Tracker to keep track of my meditation habit.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits&amp;hl=en_US

Loop. Nothing too complicated. I've just found being more aware of it makes me more likely to do it.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

Dang. I'm sorry you're going through this. That's really rough, to say the least. I think I would reach out to his mom. And you don't have to be very concerned about saying anything in particular. This stuff is not going to go away for her, ever, so I'm sure any sympathy about it would be much appreciated.

Otherwise, here's an exercise: don't say a word about him to your friends for an entire day. Talk about their lives instead, or current events. Get a habit-tracking app. You may break many times, but try to keep the streak going longer and longer for the number of days in a row that you say nothing regarding him (though contact with your therapist and his family is fine, on those days). If you have an Android, I've found Loop - Habit Tracker to be incredibly powerful, especially the visceral touching of marking a habit as completed (anything that required streaks like going to school and such). Maybe this can help reclaim your life. He would want you to do so, anyways, no?

Your Reddit post is fine and perfect.

Loop Habit Tracker user here, I especially like the widgets. Having one button on my android home screen to press for each habit is awesome.

Check this out, I really like it myself and use it everyday.

Only know this app.

Not a Website though.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

I use Habits to handle recurring tasks. It also has a cool calendar view to track how often something happens (I use it to track how often my daughter is short of breath and needs albuterol, so when we see the doctor we can tell them "she needed it 3 times last month" or something like that). I also use it to track giving her vitamins/medication, etc.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

Its also free with no ads or iap, which is a major plus.

"Normal behavior" doesn't mean "right behavior." Do it! Download Loop - Habit Tracker or something similar. It sure helps me.

Loop - Habit Tracker

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

Not sure if it's on IOS but here's the Google play link for it

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

Hey I used to also use Keep for habits tracking before know this other app --> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits it's kinda the same but with historical information

Interesting idea - reminds me of "habit" apps (such as this - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits&amp;hl=en ) though yours has some sort of reward program ($) but then...

How would one prove the task was accomplished? Where does the app get the money to pay you?

• I have an android app called Loop Habit Tracker on my phone and it really helps. I set it up so that I would get a sticky notification in the morning that won't go away until I take my medication and check it off.

• Scheduling pharmacy visits on your calendar as soon as you get the scripts will help. Do you use your phone a lot, or do you prefer a physical calendar?

• The only way to find out is to try a slightly higher dose, I think. You should talk to your doctor about it :)

Estou usando Loop - Habit Tracker pra traçar alguns mínis hábitos, arrumar a cama, 1 podcast em Inglês por dia e por ai vai. E quase o que você faz, isso ajuda bastante mas eu tento me sabotar há alguns dias, preciso me policiar mais pra fazer tudo isso.

Obrigado pelo conselho.

If you decide to start a new habit, make sure you track it so that you can see how far you've come (which can reinforce the new habit even more!). There's a ton of apps that help you do this. Here's an example open source one.

Dang, this sucks. My gosh, the compounding of those deaths is terrible. Remember that they're entirely separate matters so don't let them collectively overwhelm you.

I think you made the right decision. You need to take a bit of time off and recover.

Make a short checklist of things to keep yourself busy. I use Loop - Habit Tracker for Android to keep me motivated to do certain basic things daily (exercise, a multivitamin, and whatnot). The worst thing you can do is lounge around in your bed or bedroom for too long at a time.

You may feel like these activities are just distractions. That is what I thought, but they are not actually distractions. They are actually the bulk of your life to be independent and regain yourself without needing her constant presence.

> I tried to be decent about it but I had to be true with myself that it still caused me great pain to hear from her but not be able to be with her.

Dang, I was recently in this exact same pit of pain :( Revisit the sidebar of this subreddit if you'd like, and check the "20 Reasons for No Contact" link. It was very helpful to me.

> Should I have bucked up and been a friend to her? At work should I have just left it at the door, even though that is where I met her? Should I have stayed at her house, where I would have paid less to live?

These questions are irrelevant. What matters is what you do now, which are to protect yourself and rediscover your strong identity in yourself entirely separate from what she thinks.

> She seems to be handling it better but she does have a new SO. That might be why, obviously?

Yes, of course. He's a rebound. It might not last. Sometimes it does. But that should not be of concern to you and ideally you'd be happy for her.

> With me sticking to NC this time am I really on the way to recovery?

Recovery is not a straight line. It's a zigzag like a stock chart, with horrible drops (relapses). The key to me was actually communicating with her (and rather suddenly coming to realize that she did not actually deserve to be on the pedestal that my heart had put her on), but I required many, many, many pockets of mostly successful NC to get to that point.

So, you initiated the breakup, right? What had happened? And how long were you together?

Yeah. I went to the dentist yesterday and the outlook is grim.

I got an app called Loop. It's a checklist to help me remember to do all of the basic stuff each day. Brush teeth, shower, take meds, etc.

It's definitely helpful, I'm hoping that I can remember to use it long term.

I think everyone is more concerned with the app I am using than me crushing my goals lol

To clear the doubt here's the play store link:

Loop (a habit tracker)

After a crazy Saturday spent on the lash at my mother's 60th birthday party, I was feeling quite fragile over the weekend and only bacon samwiches and cups of tae could ease THE FEAR. My stomach is still tender and I'm ashamed of the fact that whilst it was in the comfort of my grandmother's house, I still drank so much beer that I threw up at 5am on Sunday morning.

I've noticed over the last number of months that I've been drinking more than usual and I know that one of the main causes is down to physical pain and wanting to dull or numb it with alcohol. Mental health is also a factor- I had a few weeks of crippling depression that I was struggling with but I'm coming out of it as Christmas approaches and things are stablising stress-wise enough to be managable.

I'll be attending my first group therapy session tomorrow afternoon and whilst nervous due to it being a big step out of my comfort zone, I'm not going to let fear rule me anymore.

Been really thinking about what I want to do with my life next year as I'll be 30 years old in April. I'm thinking of putting together a Fuck It List of things I'd like to achieve in 2018 but for now, I'm starting out small. January is traditionally a very fraught month filled with anxiety and depression so in a bid to combat this, I've decided to stick with group therapy and hope to fit in a morning yoga class once a week.

I also installed Loop Habit Tracker on my phone in a bid to kick myself up the ass and track my drinking habits. There will too much temptation for me to outright quit drinking this month what with socialization and parties and what not but I plan to go for a dry January at least. It's a small start and I feel cautiously optimistic that I can make it work.

Lastly, I've decided that in January, once I get enough money saved up and can secure the services of a hairdresser friend, I'm going to get a dramatic haircut. Been growing it out for nearly a decade and I'm just completely DONE with long hair. I'd like a style like this but dyed electric blue but I don't know it it would suit me. At best, I think I'll just slowly go shorter and shorter until it gets to that length so it's not much of a shock but IDK...

Currently, my hair is nearly at my waist so it would be a drastic chop.

It's called Loop.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

Are you on Android or iOS?

I'm experimenting with Loop - Habit Tracker on Android. It's Open Source, simple, both free and ad-free.

So far I like it.

Here's the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits&amp;hl=en

Absolutely! It takes some time to kick in though, potentially 1-3 weeks, I think (can't remember; read up more about it). Order it and when it arrives, use a daily habit app to remind yourself to take it daily until it does. You might even use it to just start with little tasks to help garner motivation in general. If you have an Android, I really dig Loop - Habit Tracker. It's very viscerally satisfying to press your customized 1x1 widget checkmarks and stamp one task after another as done for the day, no matter how small.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

I can imagine it being a bit tricky to try to be held accountable by others who don't know what they're accounting for. Personally, my journey was solo. It took me a very long time to ditch the habit myself—years really, but over time you make your way towards decreasing frequency. Try first just setting a goal of a rough target limit per week, and go from there. The most important thing is that you do not be too harsh on yourself ~~if~~ when you relapse. Just acknowledge that it's a long-term journey, enjoy the challenge day by day, and don't beat yourself up!

I seem to have conquered it, and that was undeniably with the active help of Loop - Habit Tracker. This app's daily tracking of a new habit to establish is incredible, with its convenient 1x1 widget for whether you did/did not do any given action per day. If you don't have an Android, probably any habit-tracking app for iOS will do. Prayer for discipline to the rule set you create for yourself would be good, and that's what I'll pray about for you. Eventually you will want to weed out and actively avoid nearly any trigger, which can seem milder than is worth the effort.

But it's worth the effort. Every moment of it.

Just recalled another thought. The Dalai Lama recommends repeated sitting for just 5 minutes throughout the day. Like sitting for 5 minutes morning, noon and night. I'm using this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits I just create 3 habits called sitting 1, 2 and 3. Hope this helps.

Chest pains? That's terrifying. Use a habit app, like Loop - Habit Tracker for Android. It's more addicting when it comes to tracking how well you abstain from a given activity every day (in this case, eating fast food).

At the very worst, at least think more about your wallet. The only time you should ever eat out is either if you have a coupon or with friends. Maybe /r/EatCheapAndHealthy can help you out in cutting down the cravings. Remember, fast food is designed to make you keep coming back. Find food to make at home that resembles it, and go gradually healthier and healthier from there.

I use this app to do the same thing. It comes with a tasker plugin ton, but I haven't had a need for it yet.

Counseling is one thing. The havoc you're wreaking upon your body is another. You gotta find a way to taper off the drinks and drugs. I personally love Loop - Habit Tracker (if you have an Android), which has helped me keep track of so many different habits to build and knock off, including not engaging in a certain activity every day. They are really empowering!

Can you check out a habit app like the one above? Do you exercise? How's your diet? If it's crap, there are places for that. /r/EatCheapAndHealthy is one, /r/MealPrepSunday is another. I do not know if /r/addiction will help, but there must be a place for you to find people in a similar boat to sympathize with.

The more crap you can flush out of your system, the more effectively you'll be able to look on your past in as healthy a way as possible (which is tough as it is; I'm so sorry about your difficult past, but at least the chaos is now far away from you, which is critical).

Awesome advice:

> If necessary, set yourself a reminder on your phone every day until it becomes a habit.

/u/Kingkhai23: if you have an Android, use a free habit app like Loop - Habit Tracker which has a handy 1x1 checkmark widget that can easily reinforce a daily habit (and in a fun way!) of setting your wallet in the same place.

Set up the recurring-task-to-take-care-of as a habit in Loop - Habit Tracker. The 1x1 checkmark widgets rock!

This doesn't apply to a specific habit It applies to everything. Identify a habit and build the "muscle" of working in that area.

Get a habit tracker. If you have an Android phone use this.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uhabits

Pick something like "Do 5 push-ups everyday"

Pick a habit that you know you can do, something reasonable. Stick to that 1 and only habit past where you are bored of doing it. Stick with it until that circle is full. Then move up to "Hit the gym twice a week". Then move up to "Count calories" and so on and so forth.

The ability to build momentum for change over time is an undertaught skill but is vital in growing as a human being and making deep change in ourselves. Fleeting willpower isn't strong enough to change who we are, but constant small deliberate change is.

Loop Habit Tracker is what I use for recurring reminders (like meditations or recording my weight), while Google Reminders works best for once off events. Loop also lets me see what I've done in the past visually and build habits, though that may not be of much use to you.

I prefer Loop - Habit Tracker for android.
HabitBull looks like a good alternative for iOS and there are a lot more but I prefer Loop - Habit Tracker because it's very simple.

There are apps that do that already, but there's nothing wrong with competition and different feature sets.

Loop habit tracker has a really good rating, and does a lot of what OP's website appears (at first glance) to do.

An MMO? I mean, you're already anonymous here so you might as well name the game to maybe find a support group with other addicts or something, you know? But no biggie. I'm kind of amazed that your family never noticed or said anything. Anyway, that's not as important as what you need to do now.

Make a list. You need tasks to replace the time that the game once consumed. Withdrawal is partly due to letting the hole sit with nothing filling it. As an Android user, I've recently been using Loop - Habit Tracker to track new daily habits to establish. For example:

• work out (for you, starting with even just a half-hour walk around the neighborhood every day could do wonders, and then build from there; throw in some basic stretching, like reaching one hand over your shoulder to your back, and then grabbing your other hand there)
• buy and start taking a multivitamin daily (not sure if you have Men's One-A-Day over there, but I like it; we'd have to eat a ridiculously, almost unreasonably balanced meal daily otherwise to get all the vitamins we need)
• do some room cleanup. I'm super-guilty of procrastinating on this, but even just tidying a quarter of the room at a time is better than nothing. Seeing a clean room is a nicer sight than words can describe: really peaceful for the mind.
• come up with recipes to eat healthier. /r/SundayMealPrep and r/CookingForBeginners and r/SlowCooking all come to mind.
• start studying! Block out time daily to improve those grades.

Pray, meditate, volunteer; get back in touch with a Power bigger than you, and certainly bigger than the game or its developers.

Don't be embarrassed about your situation. Reach out to your friends-turned-acquaintances. "I am so sorry I went AWOL; I crashed and became a beyond-hardcore gamer but am now returning to improving my life. How have you been these months?", in your own words. Try reconnecting. Being shameless and real about where you are is some of the greatest stuff in life.

I hope at least some of this helps. I'm going through life changes too and am happy to be an accountability partner or just an open ear. Or eyes, in this case, lol.

I don't know about "proper". I started by giving myself a 30 day challenge where I would take 100% cold showers every day. I get in the shower and then turn the cold water on over me, rinse my whole body, turn off the water, soap lather, then take my time rinsing off. I make sure to maintain calm but deep breathing. I've noticed differences in overall vitality, alertness and since the new habit pushed me out of my comfort zone, I was more confident to tackle other new habits (like working out and stretching daily). I tracked my progress with Loop Habit Tracker. The fact that I could see my progress through graphs helped a ton and helped me hold myself accountable. It has been a great change in my life. Today I'm on day 101 and now I don't think I want to go back to regular showers.

Loop - Habit Tracker has been incredible for me.

You should try Loop Habit Tracker

Note: It would help to link to the app, like this: Loop - Habit Tracker.

I installed this recently, decided that I hated it, and then realized that it didn't meet my minimum requirement for installing apps. The last time this app was updated was June 22, 2016. That is officially an abandoned app, as far as I'm concerned. I'm glad I didn't like it.

To add onto this the Loop Habit Tracker app can track other things that can help you stay healthy.

OP try "Loop - Habit Tracker"

How has it developed in a year?

I checked out CNQR. Across the mind/body/life sections, you get 23 articles and 9 tasks for free. If you pay, you get 9 more resources. That's basically it. There's a levelling system, but it's an end in itself. A higher level confers no advantage to anything. There's a handful of comments on certain articles, but that's as far as the community goes.

Don't get me wrong. It's polished and if I had to pick between quality and quantity, I want the former. But it plays like an early access game with 1/5th the content of a finished product. The minimalist interface almost seems designed to increase the number of clicks required to navigate the website, as if disguising the lack of content. It feels a little deceiving.

Now, you might say. CNQR isn't supposed to do everything. That's true. But the way it is, I might as well download Loop Habit Tracker, bookmark a few good blogs in my browser and be done with the concept of having a "life game".

Maybe give Loop a shot.
It's a minimalistic habit tracker that's free and doesn't require a specific goal or anything.

Might want to use a mobile app, if you find that easier. I recommend Loop.

Honestly, I don't know. Most of the times i can't get past even 2 days without relapsing. But some times, for some reason, i make it through and get to months before i finally slip.

And I can't really tell why. Now obviously in the end i'm still not, mentally and physically, where i should be, otherwise my long streaks would last, but at the same time there's something that i must be doing right to be able to get over that hump, as you said.

I think the most crucial bit that i can advise on is: never give up, keep trying different things to find out what works for you, and stay focused.

For example in this streak i'm using this app to keep track of habits that I want to be consistent with (like getting up early, meditating, posting regularly, being grateful) and that really helped me to get focused.

And if i'll relapse again, then I'll get up and try to tweak my approach once more, until I get it right.

It's a trial and error thing, and in order for it to work, you must never give up

Regarding apps, I find Loop Habit tracker to be a great open source alternative to the one you listed, and no premium upgrades required to break the 5 habits limit.
