To give you an idea, you can just use the app for simple self-care, like taking 3 breaths 3 times a day and doing something that makes you happy once daily. It also has timers, soundscapes and a whole bunch of goodies. It doesn’t have to be a productivity app although that’s how I use it.
I don’t really look at the number left, I guess. Most of them are things like taking a breath, drinking water, taking meds, meditating, etc. it’s stuff I would be doing anyway but now they are framed as goals that get me cute outfits.
I have a friend who strictly uses this app for self-care and only has like 5 goals daily, and they are almost always the same.
But that requires you knowing what makes you happy. I’ve been depressed so long that almost nothing makes me happy anymore - especially with Nero actively burning down Rome all around us.
I totally get that. Trust me, I’ve so been there (and the current climate doesn’t help).
It took me a while to realize that 9 times out of 10, what brings me happiness is listening to a song I like. Sometimes even a sad song. Something that can make me feel an emotion.
We need to do small - tiny - things that bring us some modicum of joy on a regular basis, otherwise the bad guys win.
I refuse to lay down my arms, and a part of that is continuing to fight for moments of happiness.

I like the idea but - maybe it’s just me - doesn’t “37 goals left for today!” feel overwhelming?

It’s flexible that way.

Existing is resisting.
