It is weird how we have normalized the fact we need an app to remind us to drink water, or work for one hour. I don't see how this can help one make substantial and long changes to one's life and habits.
For me the app is generally used as a reminder but there are times at night I don’t want to break my streak so will force myself to meditate or call my mother. Always happy that I did, so it’s well worth the few seconds a day to use it.
Btw I use Way of Life. Not sure about the one mentioned in this article, it may take longer.
I don't know how justified those feelings are but at a certain point I think it's worth sitting down and asking whether the app makes you feel worse about the mistakes than the mistakes themselves.
