Before using the miniHABITs App..
The miniHabits application was developed based off of Stephen Guise’s personal growth novel : Mini Habits: Smaller Habits, Bigger Results (http://www.amazon.com/Mini-Habits-Smaller-Bigger-Results/dp/1494882272/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1459654785&sr=8-1&keywords=minihabits)
Making a habit is the best way to ensure that you will complete everything you needed to do in a day. The miniHabits strategy is to set up habits so small, that no matter how tired or sleepy you might be, you can knock it out of the way and finish your day strong.
One of my personal habits I would like to share with everyone is one that is also listed in Guise’s novel.
“read 2 pages of a book daily” was the habit. If you can speed read, two pages could be read in about 30 seconds or so.
Can you spare 30 seconds even in your busiest of days?
The amazing fact of the matter is; once you start reading your novel, you will end up reading more than two pages.
Because you have started, it will usually lead to more pages read. On a good day you could even knock out 50-60 pages.
Guise calls this phenomenon ‘bonus reps.’ Rather than to set a high goal, he advocates that people should spend their energy on these bonus reps.
The miniHabits app screen was developed to show your habit progress on a quick, weekly basis. It’s imperative that you review your habits weekly and adjust accordingly. If you have any habits that you failed to achieve, it means that the default goal is set too high and it’s recommended to bring that number down. We recommend 4 new habit set ups at a time. Any more and the chances of failure start to rise significantly.
A good example of a small yet strong habit
Setting the goals of your habit to a low denominator will give you a boost of confidence and also make 'bonus reps’ tracking easier.
Progress checks will allow you to see the tremendous difference a small habit could make. You can change the data from QUANTITY to TIME depending on what your habit may be.

After two days, you will not be able to input any bonus reps, and you will not be able to check whether you have completed your daily habit. This is to keep the distractions from actually establishing a habit at a minimum.
However, you can still jot notes into the dates even after the 2 days. If you forgot to record, feel free to use the NOTE button to record, and we recommend setting multiple alarms throughout the day to ensure that your habit is repeated daily.
At the lower right hand corner, there is a button that looks like a dot. Changing color is good to your motivation.
At the lower left hand corner of the app, there is the settings button.
