In the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), the perceiving (P) personality type is flexible, open to new experiences, and adaptable. People with a perceiving personality type tend to have a lot of spontaneous ideas and impulses. They might act on them without rational analysis, leading to distractions and a scattered focus. 「IdeasTick」 helps you build a “slow system” by creating an objective “repetition judgment mechanism” that allows those fleeting ideas to settle. Over time, impulsive thoughts are verified and transformed into rational decisions. Core Features: - Unlimited Events Tracking - Automatic iCloud Backup - Home Screen Quick Addition Use Cases: - Feeling tired of the repetitive nature of your job and considering quitting every month? Record it and visualize how strong your desire to leave is. - Wondering if a professional training course is worth your time? Record it, and once the “certification thought” reaches 10, take action. - Have an idea for a side business but want to hold off on acting immediately? Record it, and once the count hits 10, analyze its feasibility. - Trying to quit smoking gradually? Track your weekly cigarette count and visualize your progress with helpful feedback. 「IdeasTick」 is perfect for situations when your ideas start accumulating. When the thoughts start counting, life is much easier. Product Advantages: • Anti-fragmentation Management: Turns scattered thoughts into a visual decision-making tool. • Lower Trial-and-Error Costs: Filters out 90% of impulsive ideas through time and reflection. • Data Privacy: Your thoughts are exclusively yours, stored locally on your device and iCloud, ensuring your privacy.
