Overall, I think the mobile apps are a better choice than computer apps because desktops and
laptops lack the 24/7 accessibility of cell phones.
Final Note About All Digital Apps
You're going to see ideas for pre-made healthy habits to add from these apps and websites.
Resist the urge to start these habits unless they are already minified (unlikely). If you
really like one of them, make sure that you minify it before adding it to your repertoire!
It looks fun to try doing 100 push-ups per day, but it's less fun when you quit. It's more
fun to have one push-up per day as a goal and blow that tiny goal away for 200+ days in a
row. You can find mini habit ideas at http://minihabits.com/mini-habit-ideas/.That page
will be updated regularly with new habits and "combo plans." Combo plans are habit packages
you can try that work well together. They're mainly for fun, so you can call yourself cool
phrases like "The Fit Writer," which includes these daily mini habits:
One push-up (or another exercise Mini Habit)
Write 50 words
Read 2 pages in a book
Step 6: Think Small
Why are we making these habits so small when we could aim higher? And what if you stop
at your small goal? Is it still useful? Yes, and it has to do with willpower.
The advantage of willpower is that it can be strengthened. Very disciplined people are those
who have strengthened their willpower. But that's only to get them started. The extremely
fit people you see in the gym don't have to force themselves to exercise anymore. They
don't actually need willpower anymore, because exercise has become their brain's first
preference. When you develop a habit, you'll say, "Brain, we need to exercise," and your
brain will reply, "I was already on my way to the treadmill. Try to keep up."
