Due to lack of traffic, serious problems in IE, and a need on my part to prioritize my time, Rewardist is going to be closing down for the time being. It may relaunch in the future, if my time permits it.
Yes, things seem stable enough that I’m opening the doors to the public. Rewardist.com is still in beta – meaning I’m still making tweaks and taking feedback – but I’m not throttling newcomers anymore.
Come one, come all! Spring is a great time to make changes in your life!
In case you hadn’t heard, Rewardist.com is now open for an invitation-only beta. As we just opened, there are still a bunch of spots left for productivity mavens, the curious, and anyone looking for an easy-to-use habit change tool.
The concept of Rewardist is this: The two key components to effective habit change are tracking and motivation. Rewardist lets you keep both factors right in front of you – you use the site to track your progress on tasks you assign to yourself, and the good things you do count toward a reward of your choosing.
You could do this all yourself with a spreadsheet, but Rewardist makes it easier in a few ways:
- Rewardist offers helpful suggestions for tasks and habits you might want to take on.
- Rewardist also offers a range of cool suggested rewards to keep you motivated.
- You get to assign different importance to each task on your list – like a trip to the gym counts more toward your reward than flossing, or acing a midterm counts for more than finishing your homework.
- Rewardist can also send you email reminders to record your progress.
Rewardist offers you essentially infinite flexibility in what tasks you want to assign yourself, and how you want to reward yourself for the good things you do – and new features are being added all the time to make it easier and more fun.
Check it out now – it’s still easy to get an invitation for the beta period.
Rewardist is a site that helps you stay on track with your goals and habits by letting you set up rewards for reaching your goals, and letting you track your progress.
I’m about to open the site for an invitation-only beta – if you think you’d be interested, just visit the site and request an invitation.
