Highlights
Sand method It asks you to be thoughtful for four purposes:
- Do hard things
- Avoid traps
- Be grateful
- And help others
For most people, this will be a description of your one true goal, how to make sure you don’t stray from it, how to appreciate what’s happening in life and think of ways you can help others so you don’t get bogged down. It transforms goals from being purely performance-based to making sure you’re a consistently strong person.
The app has what you’d expect from a habit tracker, like bars and detailed stats. In addition, there is a graph showing your consistency in each of the four areas, which you can add as a widget to your home screen.
Every day, the app will ask you what you want to do in four areas – and it aims to help you not only build habits, but also build character, help others and be more mindful.
