HOW TO: Be Consistent with Habits Using Your Smartphone ?

Habit plays an important role for a healthy lifestyle of a person. It is also important that you have to be consistent with your habits. We all know what are the habits that can make a healthy lifestyle, but we fail doing it consistently. For example, everyday night we plan for morning exercise but we failed to do because of our laziness. Like that we plan so many things either we postpone it or we will forget it. In order to keep in touch with that, people use sticky notes and reminders but nothing works if they didn’t take that serious.

Lift works similar to FourSquare. It uses iPhone’s GPS technology to check-in at a particular place. For instance, if you have chosen the habit as you must go to gym regularly every day you can make a check-in after you finish the workouts. Also you can share the experience in a short description with your friends on the Lift. Your check-ins will be saved and you can see the progress on weekly and monthly basis. Even the concept looks so simple the increase in progress bar will motivate you to be consistent with your habits. Also the discussions with your friends on Lift will give you more tips on achieving good results.

Similar to the “Like” feature on Facebook and “+1” on Google Plus we have “+1 Prop” in this app. People on your friends list can add props to your check-ins. Interacting with people about your habits and the reaction from them will motivate you to be consistent with your habits. So try this app in your iPhone and share your experience with us in the comment box.
