Disciplining Yourself to Take Some Action Every Day is Fun when You Reward Yourself

in #dtube7 years ago (edited)


A fun way to discipline yourself is to reward yourself, for a number of consecutive days of a certain behavior - whether that behavior is stop doing something ( like cutting sugar ), or doing something like studying a language, or walking every day.

Not sure if you know about Airtable, a free information management system that lets you create user-friendly databases.

The video I uploaded is a quick demo of a Goal / Reward tracker using Airtable.
