Are you tired of overcomplicated habit apps? Are you getting a headache when looking at meaningless analytics? Losing streaks makes you drop habits completely? - Join the revolution of Small Wins! - Take one week at a time to form your habits! We are all busy... and some days are better than others... That’s why you should focus on what you can control - one week only. Other habit tracking apps use negative feedback and punishment. This quite often leads to anxiety. They show you that you completed only 40% of goals... that you are not good enough... or they use Streaks that are so hard to maintain. Studies have shown that the harsher we are on ourselves for breaking streaks, the less likely we are to re-establish them. What if there is another way? What if, instead of being hard on yourself, you can celebrate every little win? What if, instead of seeing what habits you did on Thursday 16 months ago, you can just compare the current week to the previous one to see if you are heading in the right direction? Give Small Wins a try - it's FREE! And we do not limit the number of your habits like other apps! No more frustration when tracking your habits! Only good vibes! One week at a time...
