Use RoutineTap to help you reach your goals

Sometimes in life you need to answer to yourself. If you see that there are things holding you back from reaching your goals then you need to sit with yourself and ask those all important questions. Sometimes just asking and answering questions yourself will help you see what you're missing in life. It will also help you to look at life a little more differently and hopefully you will help yourself reveal the secret you want revealed.


This is where RoutineTap comes in, it is a web app that you can login to and keep track of all that you are doing and put some discipline in place. The simple philosophy behind the app is that if you are able to track your own personal habits, you will get a better sense of what's going on. Once you are able to track your day's routine you will begin to understand how you spend your time and what parts of your day or night need improvement.


How does RoutineTap work?
1. Login to the App
2. Create a questionnaire. e.g Did I do my workout this morning?
3. Answer it daily with a yes or no
4. Track your progress with a graph


So this kind of thing will ensure that you are answerable to yourself and bring about an analytical situation by looking at your graph to determine how much more persistence is needed in your daily routine.  


One of the best ways to track your goals is by using data. Once you start using the App the daily data will  become available to you. This is all important as you don't want to cheat or lie to yourself. Once the data is in front of you, getting a clearer picture of how you spend each day becomes easy. And over a period of time you will know what you're doing right and where you might be going wrong. So give it a whirl and let us know what you think about this new App.
