Remindfulness vs Progress Today

As featured in Cosmopolitan. Life moves fast, and most of it slips by on autopilot. Remindfulness sends gentle reminders throughout your day to pause, breathe, come back to the present, and remember who you really are. These aren't generic wellness tips. The reminders included draw on a wealth of non-denominational spiritual teachings, the perennial wisdom found at the heart of every tradition yet belonging to none: presence, gratitude, surrender, compassion, and reconnection with your Source. Each one has been distilled into a practice simple enough to do in a few moments, in the middle of anything. If you walk a spiritual path, whatever its shape, these reminders will feel like coming home. You have learned so many ways to reconnect with your Source, to bring your attention to the Present Moment... If only you could remember to do them throughout your busy day! Remindfulness is designed to run quietly in the background and gently call you back to your truth throughout your waking hours. This extends spiritual practice beyond isolated periods of meditation or contemplation. Woven into the fabric of your day, it can become a real way of life. Over a hundred simple yet powerful practices have been created so that you can perform them easily, in the space of no more than a few moments, often without having to physically move or even close your eyes: a breath received with gratitude, a blessing silently sent, a question that dissolves the mind's chatter, a return to the awareness behind your thoughts. This makes them easy to do the moment they appear on your screen, no matter what else you might be in the middle of. And even when you can't read a reminder right away, for example while driving or in a meeting, the simple awareness of its arrival can be your prompt to spend the next five minutes being as present as possible. FEATURES - Over 100 beautiful practice reminders. - 26 unique alert sounds, plus a Random option. - Time reminders to arrive at regular intervals, or choose random timing and how many arrive within your chosen time frame. - Custom reminder editor for writing your own. Then tell the app to use ours, yours, or a mixture of both. - NEW: Import a whole list of your own reminders at once. Paste a column from a spreadsheet, or a list from your notes, one per line. - NEW: Back up your reminders with a tap, then restore them any time through Import. - Auto suspend and resume sleeps the app overnight and wakes it with you in the morning. - Sound on or off at a touch, and share any reminder with loved ones via email or text message. Customization lets you shape how Remindfulness works for you. Choose whether reminders arrive with an alert tone, and which one. Choose random timing, and how many reminders you'd like, or pick a regular interval that suits your rhythm. Suspend the app while you sleep, without quitting it, and reminders resume by themselves in the morning. You can also write your own reminders and save them in a list, and now bring a whole list in at once, or back your list up for safekeeping. Tell the app to draw from your reminders exclusively, not at all, or shuffled in with ours via the Yours, Ours, and All options. NOTE: For the best experience, allow notifications for Remindfulness in your device's Settings > Notifications, and open a reminder from time to time; iOS quietly pauses notifications from apps whose alerts are never viewed. Please enjoy Remindfulness. I created it to help me, throughout my day, to return joyfully to the present moment. I hope it will help you do the same. Remindfulness...

"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Some activities aren't just a To Do. There's no "done." Studying a foreign language, learning the guitar, working fitness into your life... You make progress by doing, not by finishing one task and calling it complete. Every day is a new opportunity to make progress on the goals that are important to you. Every day is a new chance to spend time focused on the priorities you don't want to forget but which can so easily be pushed aside by the demands of every day living. Sometimes all you really need to stay "on track" is a reminder that you'd like to be spending time making progress on something. A reminder that what's important isn't whether or not you "finished" a task, but whether or not you made time in your day to do something -- even something small -- towards getting a little step closer to your goals. And that's where Progress Today can help. Tell the app what you'd like to not forget to make time for, and let the app be your "priority reminder" helping you remind yourself at a glance what you want to make time for today. The timers will show you what you've done, and whether or not you've reached your goal. Tomorrow, reset the timers and start again. Every day is a new chance to make progress. Progress Today intentionally doesn't keep a history or a "brag log" of what you've done in the past. The focus is on today. No matter what you did yesterday, or last week, or last month... today is a new opportunity to refocus on your commitments to yourself. Trying to learn French? Set up a goal of an hour a day of reading practice. Do you do freelance work and constantly "forget" to do the marketing work to find new clients? Set up a goal of spending 45 minutes a day writing proposals. Always wanted to learn to play the guitar? Spending 5 hours a day for a week and then never finding time to "get back to that" isn't going to work... But setting a plan of spending 20 minutes a day, then following through as often as you can will! With a simple, clean interface and natural gesture-based navigation, Progress Today lets you easily enter, revise and track your time on as many priorities as you care to enter. Best of all, you can easily add or subtract time from any event, for those times when you forget to start or stop the timer! Note: the app initially includes ads, but these can be removed in the Settings screen! ---- As a small, independent developer every five star review helps us to keep improving our apps, so if you find this app useful please consider a favorable review.
