The start of a new quarter is always a great time to start thinking about your habits, as well as the healthy habits that you’d like to develop, and even the negative ones you might like to eliminate altogether.
Though, what’s surprising is that many people are unaware of what their habits actually are.
Your habits might consist of small, daily routines that, over time, add value and a wide-range of benefits to your everyday life, like meditating, journaling, or exercising. Other habits can have negative implications on your work – such as procrastination or doing no sales generating activities.
This is why it’s important to not only know what your habits are – so you can either focus on them or eliminate the negative ones – so you can be fully in control of your life.
Building new habits – or breaking bad ones – can be hard, as you must fundamentally reshape your behaviour to resist your natural patterns. Luckily there are plenty of apps available that are designed to help you to set goals, help you keep track of your habits, and even solve your bad habits.
Habit tracking apps are great because they allow you not only get to see a visual representation of your progress, but you also get to see all of the times you’ve completed the habit lined up as an unbroken chain. Once you can see your progress, you’re much less likely to skip the habit.
There are app’s which will track progress on your habits, as well as keep you motivated throughout your habit-building journey.
