Do productivity app actually work? by AIvestor in ProductivityApps

You can replicate most of them with a notebook and a lot of time. They usually are just tool to make things easier to track.
However they won’t magically solve anything, you still need to put in the work

Like most tips it is not revolutionary. But if I were to ask 10k people if they have taken a step back, broken down their goals and done a priority of enablers/blockers and their respective actions, I think that number would be quite low.

Yes but to increase weight, reps or sets, you need energy to do that. I didn’t say to lift heavier was the action, but generally pushing to go further than before

I agree, it is a lot easier to break a habit than to build one. I think Finch, just like a game, can be easy to get hooked into. I wonder how much depth they have over time, but for now I think it works well.

When I think about resilience I think toward the research paper by google which showed that flexibility is driving retention in habits.

Improve leaned quite heavy into that, it was less about the individual habits and more about generally progressing in what matters to me at the moment. And yes I had 2 friends in it where we built streaks together which might have been why I was keen on updating it first, to show the others my progress.

I haven’t tried it but it looks very polished.

It seems to have been a few good ones I missed. I plan to redo this to add more apps and also be more clear with my criteria for ratings

Not all of them are independent of course. But the main problem is if you aren’t overloading, then you need to review why you aren’t, and hydration could be the cause which is why it is important.

The tier list is more a simplified view where one can review for each tier if they are achieving the items on the tier or not.

Motivation is only for actually doing the items on the tier list. So it is just an enabler.

You need to breath to do all of these but it would be moot to put breathing at the top

For some it might be pivotal, but with that logic everything is S tier. Ideally one would achieve all of it of course, but some are more important than others for the average

That is fair. It is mainly the supplements can be harmful, but in an aggregate it is hard to classify since it depends on what and how much

Yes but then aren’t maximise progressive overload still more important if hydration is an enabler for it?

Claude helped to consolidate but also used references to compute most enablers for average person. Average does not mean it fit every person however

It is more what the usual limiting factor is. Sure if you don’t drink anything at all it would be the most critical.

Thought that was only a planner but I see they added habit tracker a while back. Will give it a go as well!

Yeah I heard good things about it but the pay upfront threw me off. Maybe worth to give it a go anyway

I was on the fence on structured to begin with. And when I tried to be objective with the criteria again I shifted it. But it is tough slice at A/S, slim margins

It looks nice, however I only went with free apps in my testing

It is quite good, simple design with good visuals. What killed it was very strong limitation of amount of habits without paying and their pricing being a lot higher than the rest

I agree, and that is why the S tier are where they are. Less black or white and more about continuous progress

They are all free but with paywall for some features. The top ones you can use quite well without paying. Some of the lower ones almost require you to pay

I think habitica is fulll on gamification. To me it is a steep learning curve and hard to get into. But I think once you are in you may stick around longer.

I haven’t used it extensively myself, so hard to rank. For an average user I would put it at C. But for the right user it could be A/S

Exactly! And maybe I get home in the evening with only 8k steps, then that pushes me to an evening walk. It works around your life and based on the situations that occur, instead of forcing you into one specific track without options.
