It’s been almost three weeks since we have all started our
New Year’s Resolutions. If you are anything like me, you are probably finding
it harder and harder to stick with them. The first couple of days it felt good
just knowing that I walked 5,000 steps or I did not drink that soda that was
calling my name. But just knowing that I reached my daily goal is not as
exciting as it was at the beginning. Then I discovered the STREAKS app!
STREAKS is an app that helps you form new daily habits with
the “don’t break the chain” method. You can choose up to six tasks that you
want to turn into daily habits: Go to the gym, Drink 64 oz. of water, Read for
10 minutes, etc. Every time you complete a task, your streak is extended. If
you skip a day, your streak will be broken and it will reset to zero. If you
have a task you do not want to complete every day, you can set the task to be completed
on certain days so that your streak is not broken. STREAKS works hand in hand
with the iOS Health app to automatically track certain activity-based goals
such as Walk 5,000 steps. Other tasks are tracked simply by tapping a button
every time you finish.
STREAKS is different from other “don’t break the chain” apps
because of its simplicity. Other apps offer you an unlimited number of tasks to
set for yourself. It’s impossible to complete all of your tasks when you have
30 different ones you are trying to turn into good healthy habits. With STREAKS
the limit is six. This encourages you to focus on the important things that you
really want to change from a task into a habit.
Streaks was chosen by Apple for the App Store’s “Best of
2015” list.
