Reflection is the best investment we can make to live a better day. It doesn’t take filling up entire pages in a journal to find insights. Short notes about the moments of life add up to a big picture of where we are and help us see more clearly where we want to go. Hindsight is designed to help forge a new habit of reflection in the day-to-day. Customizable to your priorities but dead-simple so nothing bogs you down. Create categories for anything you want to keep track of and set reminders to help keep yourself consistent. Slowing down for a few seconds to think about the moment and jot down a note can bring a surprising boost of intentionality to our lives, but occasionally read the notes from your past self to get the best perspective. Once you have a Hindsight habit, use that newfound perspective to choose the next habit you want to practice—and you can add a new category for it to keep track of your progress. Customizable color schemes for each category and Dark Mode support make this habit easy on the eyes.
