This week, we\u2019re going to help you foster good habits with Rewire.<\/p>\n<p>(<b>Hey, iOS users: <\/b>we\u2019re really sorry but this week\u2019s app is an Android exclusive.

Think \u201d\u02dcwriting 500 words of that novel you\u2019ve been planning to write for 15 years every day\u2019 rather than \u201d\u02dcplay <i>Black Ops 3 <\/i>for 12 hours every day\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>The app is built on US comedian Jerry Seinfeld\u2019s advice to upcoming comics, which was simply write every day. Seinfeld reckons that turning tasks into daily habits naturally improves your talent and helps you accomplish your goals. Sounds good to us.<\/p>\n<p>Rewire brings Seinfeld\u2019s idea of marking off days on a physical calendar into the 21st century. First, you add the habits you want to get into. Then, you simply mark off each day you carry out the habit. This creates a visually pleasing streak that encourages you to keep on going.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><b>Why is it surprisingly easy? <\/b><\/h3>\n<p>As well as providing the tools to track your habit, Rewire also acts as a motivational coach. You can set the app to send a daily reminder, as well as a motivational quote to gee you up for the day ahead.<\/p>\n<p>You can also categorise your habits depending on what part of your life they will impact, such as work, life and so on.<\/p>\n<p>As you progress, Rewire will display your habits in a pretty and incredibly satisfying graph. Well, satisfying if you manage to keep up your good habits\u201d\u00a6<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><b>The best bit<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>There are some \u201d\u02dchabits\u2019 you won\u2019t want to perform every day, which is why Rewire lets you set certain dates and times to perform your habit. For example: \u201d\u02dcwrite every Friday\u2019, \u201d\u02dcgo for a run every weekend\u2019 and so on.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and all the stuff you\u2019ll achieve from fostering good habits is pretty great too!<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Download Rewire on Google Play\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.rstudioz.habits&amp;hl=en_GB\">Download Rewire on Google Play<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Remember to check out our own surprisingly easy app too.
