Rebuilding the Motivational Box (Fixing My Mistakes)
· 2 min read
I built a "Motivational Box" a few years ago to help improve my habits and stay consistent with things like exercise and productivity. But when I actually tried to use it, it didn’t work as expected. I could press buttons to log tasks, but I had no clear way to see what I had completed over time. For example, I couldn’t easily answer simple questions like: What did I do last week? Was I consistent? Even though I had a heatmap, it wasn’t enough to properly track or reflect on my progress. On top of that, I never fully committed to using the box consistently. This time, I’m rebuilding it properly — with the goal of making something I will actually use.
