Habit tracking apps abound, but grain method It is distinguished by requiring you to be more reflective. With your feedback, the app clearly outlines four clear goals for you to work towards daily, and it’s about more than just being more productive.
Highlights
grain method It asks you to be attentive to four objectives:
- do difficult things
- Avoid traps
- be grateful
- and help others
For most people, this will be outlining one of your true goals, outlining how to make sure you don’t get distracted from it, appreciating something happening in life so you don’t get stuck, and thinking of a way to help others. It changes goals from being entirely productivity-based to making sure you are consistently a strong person.
In the app, there are things you’d normally expect from a habit tracking app, like streaks and detailed statistics. Beyond that, there’s a graph outlining your consistency in each of the four areas, which you can also add as a widget to your home screen.
Every day, the app will ask you what you want to do in all four areas, and its goal is to help you not only develop habits, but also develop your character, help others, and become more mindful.
