GroHabit 1.0 Debuts for iPhone, Enhances Personal Development

Loveland, Colorado – Floating Radish, LLC today is pleased to announce the release of GroHabit 1.0. GroHabit is a new app for iPhone and iPod touch for developing positive new habits. Good habits can be hard to establish, yet are essential for reaching any personal goal, whether it be getting in shape, getting out of debt, losing weight, or becoming more organized. GroHabit lets users specify their own habit behaviors, track their progress, discover and overcome challenges, and strengthen their motivations. With GroHabit, beneficial behaviors can become helpful habits.

Recent research shows that it takes, on average, 66 days to turn a behavior into a habit. GroHabit keeps users motivated and focused during those 66 days. Its features include:

* Motivators – GroHabit collects and displays personally motivating text, audio, and photos, acting like a portable motivation board.

* Calendars – Easy-to-use calendars allow users to log when they’ve performed their behavior and record why they’ve skipped days. Calendars also let users know whether they’re performing their behavior frequently enough.

* Skill Focus – GroHabit analyzes the user’s recent performance, determines which of five habit-growing skills would be most beneficial, and focuses the user on that skill.

* Habit Score – GroHabit uses a unique, research-based Habit Score to indicate how habitual a behavior has become. The Habit Score is also motivational; users can see in advance how performing or not performing their behavior will impact their Habit Score.

* Daily Messages – Every day, GroHabit offers a helpful tip, displays a motivational message, or assigns a simple task. All messages are designed to encourage users and help them discover and reflect on their own personal motivations.

* Days Off – GroHabit uses a flexible “days off” system to accommodate behaviors that aren’t performed every day. Users earn days off when they perform their behavior and redeem days off when they skip their behavior. This allows for varying schedules, while ensuring that users always know whether they’re performing their behavior frequently enough.

“Two things are certain,” says Floating Radish, LLC founder James Huddleston. “Good habits are essential to personal growth and development, and the 66 days it takes to form a habit can be difficult to get through. I encourage anyone committed to personal development to find tools and techniques that help them through those 66 days.”

* iPhone or iPod touch
* iOS 4.0 or later
* 3.3 MB
