How the 10 Best Motivational Apps Can Help You Achieve Your Goals
There are countless motivational apps out there that promise to help you succeed. How do they differ, and which one is best for you?
No matter how big or small your goals are, motivation is the key to achieving them. But staying motivated isn’t always easy with a busy work schedule, time to hang out with friends, and everything in between. Luckily, there’s a solution. So whether you want to stop biting your nails or start saving money, motivational apps can be your savior.
Where It All Begins
The first step to achieving something or breaking a habit is acknowledging it and writing it down.
According to a study conducted at Dominican University in California, you’re 42% more likely to achieve your goals if you write them down. You can write them down on paper, but some apps make it easier and faster to write them down.
One app that makes setting goals a breeze is Any.do. It’s a to-do list with advanced and useful features that you’ll love. You can share tasks or goals with friends or family, add voice notes, or customize them based on time and location. The app will remind you of your tasks and make sure you complete them on time. GoalsOnTrack is another popular app for tracking your goals. You can use the web platform or the apps available for iPhone or Android. This app uses a goal-setting system called SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound) and helps you write down your goals and break them down into smaller, more manageable goals.
If you’re looking for an easy-to-use app that does something simple but effective, HabitBull is the solution.
This app is available for iPhone and Android and helps you achieve your goals. You can use it to create organized calendars for each habit or goal you want to accomplish and track your progress toward achieving it. So, if you plan to read for 30 minutes a day, the app will remind you to do it every day. The app is easy to install, fully customizable, and allows you to track up to 100 habits. Use the daily, weekly, or monthly view, and when you complete a task, mark it as done.
Stay In the Game
If you’re like most people, you’ve probably experienced the sudden excitement of setting a goal, followed by a lack of motivation to achieve it. It’s important to stay motivated—and the best way to do that is with external support. Coach.Me offers a free habit tracker that you can use to create a new habit and get support from the app’s community. The app also offers habit coaching for $15 per month. This feature connects you to a coach who you can communicate with via text or phone.
If you’re constantly on your phone or looking for an app to help you get distracted while studying, driving, or eating dinner, try Forest. The app is available for iPhone and Android and helps you overcome your phone addiction in a fun and accessible way. It’s designed to be used without having to touch your phone or leave the app. When you open it, a seed is planted in the forest. The tree gradually grows as long as the app is open. If you leave the app and look at your phone, your tree will wither. Users earn virtual coins for their forests, which they can use to buy real trees. Forest partners with Trees for the Future to plant real trees and help preserve forests around the world.
Track Yourself
When you’re working towards your goals, it’s important to see how you’re doing to make sure you’re on track. Use a habit log or life plan to visualize your habits. The app aggregates your data and trends into attractive graphs and pie charts. Habit Log also includes a handy charting feature that gives you a comprehensive overview. The colors of the charts range from green to red, providing a visual indication of your progress. The more information you collect, the more data you’ll have to create your charts. Strides is another app that helps you keep track of everything. View your daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly progress. All your data is synced, so you can access it from anywhere, on any device.
