Decree helps you manage your day in a focused, single-minded way. First, think about the long term goals that you would like to achieve. There are usually small steps you can take on a daily basis to get you to your final goal. Walk through your day and decide the steps you’d like to complete every day.. Then input your steps into the app, and you will be guided to fulfilling your long-term goals! In the main app experience, all you see is the single task that you have to complete. This keeps you singularly focused. Live Activities help you keep your focus throughout the day, anytime you so much as glance at your phone. We know the variations in your day. Sometimes it takes longer to get your work done, sometimes you like to workout for longer. Complete your tasks throughout the day without the distractions of completing it within a given time window. Instead, simply complete all your tasks throughout the day to achieve success. This makes adding a new habit as easy as adding a new step to your routine list! You'll see it the next day, and act on it.
