Have you ever heard of an app called Everest? Everest is an app that helps you track your goals, so it’s a great resource to use to help you keep track of your New Year’s Resolutions! When you first open the app, it urges you to enter in your first goal. After categorizing your goal and deciding if you want it to be public (for friends to see) or private (for your eyes only), it then gives you options to add steps to getting to your goal. Each step can be given a specific time frame, where you can set reminders for yourself so that you are keeping on track to complete your goal. This app is a great way to manage your expectations and break down your goals into steps that you can take each day that will make achieving your goals a series of steps instead of a giant feat! After all, you can only climb a mountain one step at a time.
Now, the fun thing about the app is that in addition to creating your own goals, you can also accept challenges from the Everest community that range from health/physical challenges (like doing 50 consecutive push ups!) to personal challenges (like finding a job you love). These challenges are of course optional, however, they are a good constant reminder that everyday you could be taking steps to give yourself a happier, healthier and wealthier life!
So, this year I plan to use Everest to track my resolutions and set small realistic steps for myself to take each week to achieve these goals! Do you plan on using Everest or another similar method to help you break your goals down into small manageable steps and then to keep you accountable for achieving your goals?
Unfortunately the app is not available outside the US iTunes store 🙁
Oh! I didn’t realize that! I really don’t get why certain apps work in the US and not outside, its just the internet right??
I have a book called 52 Mondays: The one year path to outrageous success and lifelong happiness, which basically gives you a little motivation, a thought, and an exercise each week for 52 weeks that I am going through this year with my boyfriend (we’re each have our own goals) and it does similar things, making you visualize yourself a year from now once you’ve achieved your goal and then set small goals between now and then to get there and take steps each day.
Interesting concept! May have to check that out. Thanks for sharing!
