A simple tool developed by a clutch of Microsoft and Amazon staff has been launched to help users keep the New Year’s resolutions.
The site, called 21habit, lets users enter a goal they want to achieve in 21 days (say, reading for an hour a day) and then asks them to visit daily to report their progress.
The tool is free, although users can take their challenge to a new level of going to “committed mode”. Under this arrangement, the user commits $21 and gets $1 back for every day they manage to complete their task. Each day they fail, 21habitat donates the $1 to charity.
According to Tech Crunch, the project was founded and self-funded by Microsoft software developer Pranav Goel, and Amazon staff Himanshu Khurana, Hemanth Pai and Ian McAllister.
