~ END PROCRASTINATION AND BUILD GOOD HABITS ONE MINI STEP AT A TIME ~ "The single most important technique..." - Harvard instructor Tal Ben-Shahar With the Mini Steps app you can easily overcome procrastination and tackle long-postponed projects, or you can break through resistance and create good habits. Finishing overdue projects or starting good habits is hard because we face a barrier of psychological resistance. The problem with most techniques and apps is that they rely on pumping up our motivation to surmount this barrier. These approaches are difficult because they fight against our human nature, and the motivation they generate fades quickly. The Mini Steps approach, however, doesnt rely on building motivation. It removes the resistance barrier rather than trying to overcome it. And it works with our human nature rather than struggling against it. Popular Harvard lecturer Tal Ben-Shahar, Ph.D., said that this tactic is the single most important technique to emerge from research on procrastination. Once youve created a few key habits using the Mini Steps method, other positive habits come easily. ~ LIFE CHANGING: ~ Author Stephen Guise says of the Mini Steps approach, "All of the things Ive been wanting are happening now." A writer Tweets that it "works every time" for overcoming procrastination. And other fans of the Mini Steps tactic make comments such as the following: * "So simple that it is actually usable." * "Best method Ive ever tried to stick to new habits. So simple & great." * "Much better than time management, setting goals, or to-do lists!" * "Thrilled at how fast I got results." * "Become the person you want to be." * "I havent felt this confident in a long time." * "Im a completely different person now." ~ SUPPORTS PROVEN SYSTEMS: ~ The Mini Steps app fully supports the following well proven anti-procrastination and habit-building techniques: * Tiny Habits, from Stanford researcher BJ Fogg * Mini Habits, from bestselling author Stephen Guise * Personal Kaizen, from Robert Maurer, Ph.D, author of the popular book "One Small Step Can Change Your Life" * The Five-Minute Plan and The Bits-and-Pieces Approach, from esteemed psychologist Albert Ellis ~ THE MINI STEPS APP: ~ * Allows you to track any number of tasks -- one-time projects or good habits. * Lets you choose from a large set of predefined tasks in the areas of Health & Fitness, Mind Improvement, Happiness, Social Life & Recreation, Profession & Business, Finances & Investments, Frugality & Minimalism, Home Maintenance, and Great Achievements.
