Let’s check in—how are your New Year's resolutions going? If you’re anything like the majority, your resolutions were probably abandoned around February or March.
Keeping up with resolutions in this hectic world (where there seems to be a crazy new development every day) is difficult. The last thing you’re thinking about is getting your daily water intake in.
If you’re overwhelmed by life and the state of the world, chances are you’re not feeling motivated to stay on top of your goals. Buddy Crush is a new accountability tool that might help by letting you track your habits with friends. And if you really need a burst of motivation? Maker Marc Lou built the app in 24 hours on a plane from Bali to Paris.
Buddy Crush offers a fun, competitive approach to accountability. You and your friends challenge each other to keep goals and healthy habits alive. You can engage in various accountability groups, like career or educational ones, and track your progress against your friends’ to see who has read the most books— or who’s on a consistent workout streak.
If one of your resolutions was to get out of your comfort zone, you can join an existing group to make new friends and track your goals with them.
This isn't Marc Lou's first time indie hacking a helpful habit tool. 50 Hacks (which garnered 700,000 likes on Reddit) lets the internet upvote their favorite productivity hacks, and Books Calculator lets you see how many books you can read in a month, year, or lifetime with just a few minutes a day.
