When you were a kid, did you ever stand up dominoes in a line and knock them over to watch them snake around the room? While standing up those dominoes was hard work, and the inevitable collapse was fun to watch, there was certainly a moment before the big knock down when we took in our handy work and marveled at the work we’d put in.
We’ve all heard the quote “excellence is not an act, but a habit.” Good habits propel us to greatness while bad habits errode our dreams. There’s a new app for iPhone which allows you to practice building good habits through a simple daily check-in. It’s called “Chains.cc” and it’s a simple way to practice mindfulness when you’re in pursuit of a daily goal.
Chains.cc has an attractive, simple, interface, and the challenge of seeing how long you can make your “habit chains” is quite useful for progressing towards a better you. From jogging to reading more to eating healthy, Chains.cc is a fun way to get there.
