"If you don't change what you are doing today, all of your tomorrows will look like yesterday." ~Jim Rohn But how do you know what needs to change? This tool can help you to find the small changes that can make or break your bad habits/patterns. Main features: Personalised questions: The app needs some information about you. Tell the app if you achieved your daily goals, this question is important for the pattern recognition. Create questions that are targeted towards your challenges. Don't worry, we will help you to set up these questions. We provide evidence based example questions like the 5G questions and KOP model. Pattern recognition: If the app collected enough data about you then we can start looking for patterns. Now we know when you achieved your goals, in what situation, and under which circumstances. It is fascinating how habit oriented we are! The smallest changes can make or break your day. The first step of breaking bad habits is to be conscious about it! Collaboration: This step is optional, but the most valuable insights are often from people who have an external view on our challenges.
