I use an app that I wrote, meditations, in order to break down goals into daily habits: https://github.com/ioddly/meditations e.g. "I want to run a marathon" becomes a daily "Exercise" habit. It's good for both progress and logging; now if I want to know what program I was running on June 28, 2015 for example I just filter for Exercise and go back to June 2015. It was originally a Trello board so it's got an obviously kanban-ish look to it, but it's got things built in to collect things like time spent on habits overall, streaks. I'm still working on the best flow for longer-term projects and "negative habits" (i.e. losing weight, not compulsively using the internet).

I built an application for myself called meditations: https://github.com/ioddly/meditations It's actually...a todo application, but focused on habit formation and creating a positive feedback loop around a few consistent habits or projects. I wrote it for myself because there was nothing quite like it that I was aware of. I use it on a daily basis; I also learned a lot of frontend development by having to maintain and use a real, interactive application. > it's also pretty cool to see it being used by other people around the world. It is cool! I've gotten one or two reports of people using it, despite the fact that I've taken almost no effort to make it easy to use, and it feels good. I haven't published it on any stores because it's a self-hosted application -- you can keep all your data (encrypted if you want). I actually thought there

https://github.com/ioddly/meditations - Daily organizer based on habit formation. It actually needs a little bit of TLC which I'm hoping to give it once I finish up my current gig. I'm still the only user, as far as I know, but I use it daily so it's fun to work on.

I did something similar for 2-3 years, then eventually wrote a piece of software that handles specifically this use case: https://github.com/ioddly/meditations (It actually doesn't repeat automatically, but you can copy monthly tasks down to the day). I also have it doing a little bit extra, tracking completion rates.

helix reminds me of https://github.com/ioddly/meditations/ I'm curious if you prefer Django over js alternatives for any particular reason?

I use my personal journaling/habit-tracking app, https://github.com/ioddly/meditations , so I can keep everything private. When I'm out and about, I'll store them on Google Keep and transfer them manually when I get home.

I worked on meditations, the app I use to manage my daily habits: https://github.com/ioddly/meditations So far as I know, I'm still the only user, which is fine by me. I tried working on other things with my spare time, but the lesson I learned was that it's a lot easier and more fun to work on something that you're personally invested in using.

Some things I typically work with: Frontend => React, JavaScript, TypeScript, SASS, Bootstrap Backend => Python+flask or django, node.js, go Storage => Postgres, redis, sqlite Cloud => Docker, AWS I cut my coding teeth writing compilers in C++ and Scheme, I'm comfortable working with any stack.

I'm working on my habit formation/note-taking application: https://github.com/ioddly/meditations Specifically I'm trying to work up the nerve to go implement a decent search which I've been putting off for a while. And maybe get it cleaned up for some kind of actual release.

1) I built an app to help me form habits on a daily basis: https://github.com/ioddly/meditations . Pretty simple, minimalistic, but having it open every time my computer does makes it low-friction to log all these things. There are loads of these; I wrote my own for fun and because I wanted to keep the information encrypted, locally. 2) I've started unplugging the internet. Like I literally pull the ethernet cord out of my computer and turn off my phone. I do it every night so that when I wake up, I code for about 4 hours without it. This has been the biggest boost to productivity and happiness I've had in a long time. Two issues with this so far: a) Sometimes I hit a wall where I need to look something up before I can proceed, but I've never run out of work that I do know how to do. So I just write it down to search for later and work on

I wrote and use meditations ( https://github.com/ioddly/meditations ) to help me organize my day using the principles of habit formation. It's been pretty immensely helpful to me. Funnily enough although I never thought of monetizing it, assuming there wouldn't be much interest, there are several similar apps that seem to be pretty popular and doing well. I keep working on my own because it's a good learning exercise and I can keep my data encrypted, locally.

I primarily use an app that I wrote: https://github.com/ioddly/meditations Basically it's a todo list based around habit formation. It also has journal functionality. I set it to open when I open my browser; the idea is that keeping track of these things should be as low friction as possible. As an aside, journaling (which requires minimal fancy software, or none if you use a paper journal) has been critical in accounting for where my time goes and what I spend my time thinking about. I use ledger to track my finances. Also low friction, high return; my frivolous expenditures have gone down remarkably since I started doing this last year.

https://github.com/ioddly/meditations A daily todo that results in long-term stats and habit formation. Using my own 'product' every day has been a good exercise in thinking about UX and maintenance (I've had the same DB for several years now with little breaking changes). It's also a responsible-way to do resume-driven development and use something weird or unconventional just because.

I use an app I wrote: https://GitHub.com/ioddly/meditations The point of it is more to encourage habit formation; I don't microplan my day, I try to do the same things every day. Wake up, meditate, exercise, code for several hours. When you have a strong routine established, deviating from it feels strange. I have found limiting recreational internet use to be as important or moreso than any kind of planning for being productive. nb. I just rewrote the whole frontend so apologies if anything is broken.

I use a tool that I wrote, evolved from a Trello board: https://github.com/ioddly/meditations Specifically, there's a daily, monthly, and yearly list, all on the same screen. So if your goal for example is to exercise, you'd be tracking things day by day, but get a monthly summary (e.g. I exercised 75% of the days I was supposed to this month). I do have some goals in mind, but I find that tying them to time is the wrong way to go. i.e. I'd like to get back to a 2x bodyweight deadlift, but it's better to try and make 100% of my lifting sessions and complete the programs I am on than it is to worry about when exactly I will hit that goal. So the actual todos are derived from a system that should eventually lead to that goal, rather than achieving the goals. I then evaluate my progress monthly and yearly.
