I've been looking for an app that assists with forming habits. Not a task list. But something that pushes you to stick to a routine.
I tried an app called Finch, but it was...cloyingly cutesy and I just couldn't take it. It had pay for play gamification and that's a big no from me.
Also tried HabitKit and it was the opposite - no direction at all.
I'm happy to pay a subscription fee, or host something myself - just looking for recommendations.

@box464 Not the answer you may be looking for, but I recommend having a look at the book Atomic Habits by James Clear. He gives great insights into how habits actually work, and they all start with some kind of stimulus.
I tried a lot of habit apps myself and none of them really worked for me for an extended period of time.
What did work though, was putting a paper version of a habit tracker on my fridge for the current month and tick off every completed habit for the current day.
Because I hated to see the unticked checkboxes everytime I walked past the fridge... 😆 -

@box464 I'm using Grit, the open-source version via F-Droid doesn't have the restrictions of the commercial free version and I just find that receiving notifications at the right time telling me to do the thing was enough to build a couple of habits for me.

@bryan dementia would suck, but I'm hoping they'll have that figured out by the time I get there. They seem to have some pretty good leads. Shingles is strongly linked to cognitive decline, for instance, and I guess the vaccine protects against that.

@swelljoe I’ve never smoked and will not start. I’m happy to be a healthy dementia patient over an early preventable death.

I'm having a hard time believing in mousy Peggy, after Handmaid's Tale. June would have murdered all these men.

@bryan survivorship bias survives on survivor anecdotes. My grandmother, a lifelong smoker, died when she was about 60 from lung cancer. No dementia, though, she had that going for her. Entirely aware all the way to the end.

@swelljoe
My grandmother quit smoking when she was 70-ish. She stated her habit of smoking daily at 12. Anyway, at 70, she was taking care of her mother at the time. Her mother (my great-grandmother) spent the last 10 years of her life with dementia.
The experience made my grandmother decide she’d rather be dead than “talk like a fool”. So she started to smoke again. She passed many years later and never had dementia.

@swelljoe Yep. Great show with a good story well acted by all concerned. IMHO.
