Change Any Annoying Habit in 21 Days with Habitforge

Habitforge is a service that works on the principle that it takes 21 days to form a habit. If you choose a habit to form and stay consistent with it for 21 days straight, you have done the hard part. Habitforge gives you a place to record these goals and track your progress. It reminds you daily via email and asks you whether you were successful that day. You can also make your goals public and get positive reinforcement from the Habitforge community.

Set Up a Goal

Once you’ve created your account, the next step is to set up a goal. Give it a simple title like “Exercise for at least 20 minutes every day” or “Pack a healthy lunch daily.” Make sure to keep it realistic, simple, and attainable. You don’t want to create goals that are too complicated (“Fix my marriage”) or too big to complete in such a short time (“Lose 100 lbs”). At this stage, you will also choose what your reminder emails will say and whether this will be a public goal or not.

Check Your Email

The next step is to check your email. Habitforge will email you at the start of each day to ask you if you were successful in your new habit the day before. Simply click Yes or No. It’s really that simple. Habitforge takes care of the rest. If you miss a day, you have to start over. It’s all or nothing. You have to succeed for three weeks straight (21 days) or it’s back to square one.

Succeed for 21 Days

Habitforge takes care of everything except one thing, your willpower. It’s all up to you whether you actually succeed and form (or break) your habit. Staying consistent might be difficult, but if you take it day-by-day, step-by-step, you should reach your 21 days in no time. Whether you’re trying to lose weight, quit smoking, or write a manifesto, Habitforge can help you stay on track and hit your mark. Once you’ve succeeded, Habitforge will continue to monitor you and help you stay on the wagon.
