"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.
