GRIT app augments your self discipline and helps you to follow through with your long term personal goals such as finishing an online course or exercising more. For this you can set daily and weekly goals and track your progress. In addition you can commit money to each goal as an incentive to not give up. It's easy to get started with a new goal, but many fail to follow through long enough in order to reach their potential. With GRIT app you can turn an abstract new years resolution into 365 tangible daily tasks with a defined deadline and incentive. Incentives You can define how much money will be deducted from your account for missing a certain goal. For completing a goal you receive a reward of 10% of the committed credits. To allow new users to familiarize themselves with the app features, there is a free starting balance of 5 credits. After the credit balance becomes negative, you have to top up the balance within 3 days otherwise the app will be disabled. After trying out different amounts of credits as incentive, you may realise that some goals require a higher amount of credits. For example "No smoking" may require 10 credits to offset the temptation and for "clean apartment" 0.1 credits may be sufficient. For all tasks, you have to evaluate yourself whether it was completed on time. Tasks In the home screen, you can add new tasks with a due date and an amount of credits to motivate you to follow through. You can also add to-do's here, which are not connected to any long term goals so that you do not have to maintain multiple to do lists. Examples for tasks are: - Submit Job Application - Buy groceries If you complete the task before the due date or on the due date, then it should be evaluated to "done", then the credit balance will not be changed. If you complete the task after the due date or don't complete it at all then it should be evaluated to "not done", then the specified amount of credits will be deducted from the balance. If tasks are overdue and "pending" (i.e. not yet evaluated), then they will be displayed in red font. Once tasks are evaluated to "done" or "not done" you can view them in the history, which can be accessed by clicking on the menu icon on the top left. Habits When adding a new task, you can specify whether the task should repeat and define on which weekdays it should be scheduled. Examples for repeating tasks are: - Leave home by 9 AM for Monday to Friday - Take vitamin supplements These tasks can be viewed and edited under the Repeating tasks section in the Dashboard. When you open the app on a new day, all corresponding repeating tasks will be scheduled for that day and also for the days in which you did not open the app. When you edit a repeating tasks, the changes will only be applied from the next day onwards. Instances of repeating tasks for the current day or past days cannot be edited. Time allocation With weekly time allocation goals you can make sure that you spend a certain amount of time every week on a specific activity. Examples are: - Do 30 minutes of running every week - Spend 2 hours every week studying for an online course There are two main differences between activity goals and repeating tasks: 1. It does not matter on which day of the week you do the weekly activity as long as you do it before the end of the week. In contrast tasks always have a specific due date. 2. Even if you only manage to complete a small part of a weekly activity goal, this will have an effect on your credits balance so every minute of activity counts. In contrast tasks can only be either completed or not completed which will result in either no credits deducted or the full amount of credits defined in the tasks deducted. Time Tracking With the time tracking section you can keep track of your weekly goals and other activities. For every tracked hour you receive a 0.01 credit reward. Data export Your data can be exported in CSV format from the settings menu.
