An idea.
I was going to make a page to do it on my server, but I realized if i do this as a FB App, other people could benefit from it.
Habit Maker.
Use the same reward mechanisms that many FB games abuse, as exemplified by the study turned game Cow Clicker, to help people create new habits. http://www.bogost.com/blog/cow_clicker_1.shtml
You would define activities and how often you want to do them. For example.
Push-ups, 10 times per day
flossing, every other day
biking 1 / 7 days.
And then you would just click a button say you've done an activity.
It would keep track, and if you wanted give you reminders if you're in danger of 'breaking your chain'.
Thoughts?
and no, I won't cave to the temptation to call it "Getting into the Habit" =p
