Evening journal. Language practice. Cold shower. 100 pushups. You choose what you want to commit to. Add your actions, pick your days, and build a routine around the things you actually want to do. Bring your own routine to a challenge, or get your friends following the same one. Everyone knows the plan before it starts. PUT YOUR ACTIONS TO WORK: Take a photo of your progress. Hit your step goal with Apple Health. Get up when your alarm goes off. Completed actions earn points toward your challenge score. Your routine also has a multiplier. More actions and more active days mean more weight behind your score. TWO WAYS TO PLAY: - With real money $$$, everyone buys into a shared pot. Win money from your friends or lose it to them. Cash winnings can be withdrawn. - With coins (STKC), earn coins by completing your actions and use them in challenges. Your outcome depends entirely on whether you complete your own committed actions. FIND YOUR NEXT CHALLENGE: Start a challenge with your friends or explore public challenges hosted by STICK.
