How to Create Morning Rituals with HabitClock (iOS)

One of the problems of self-development is the formation of good habits. If bad habits stick on their own, then good ones must be cultivated. The hardest part is sticking to your chosen course in the morning. I want to sleep for another five minutes, but doing exercises seems like an impossible feat. For the formation of useful morning habits, the HabitClock application was made. It has a stylish design and clear statistics.

This is not the only habit app. We've done Habit List and Weekly reviews before. If they didn’t work for you, then read the book “Willpower. How to develop and strengthen”Kelly McGonigal. Personally, this book helped me a lot. Let's go directly to the application.

Add habits

The habit is very easy to add. Enter a name and it will be added to your morning schedule. You can change the order of your habits if you want. If any of your morning habits has become irrelevant, do not rush to delete it. It can be paused. Then it will remain in statistics.

You can also add a habit from the popular rating. There is a separate top around the world and near you. For those who are especially lazy, there are prepared morning schedules in the form of ready-made lists. Naturally, the names in them will be in English.

We start using

There is an alarm clock right in the HabitClock. I never found how to change its sound. When you wake up, you press the start button. She is in the middle below. A timer starts that counts how much time you spent on each morning activity. When it's finished, click Done. If failed, then Cancel. For example, let's say you're going for a run, but it starts raining. Time wasted, but the habit failed. You can skip any action in the morning schedule. To do this, click Skip. When the morning ritual is over, you will be prompted to save a log of your actions.

We analyze

The app itself is free, but beautiful graphs on usage statistics are available only to premium users. Personally, I decided for myself that if I use the application for two weeks, I will buy myself a premium. By the end of the second week, I had already stopped turning on the application, but simply did everything according to plan. It was enough for me not to turn on the computer until after brushing my teeth and putting on the lenses. As they say, all ingenious is simple. Perhaps, with the help of this application, you will be able to form the correct awakening ritual.
