In this last post of 2022, we want to discuss a common pitfall that can derail your New Year's resolutions (it happened to me!). And we also offer up a recipe to combat it, so that you can steadily work towards your goals.

HeroMode has many different use cases. Today, I describe how I use HeroMode to build a stretching routine to rehabilitate my knees.

• Set up a repeat quest for a stretching session
• Within the quest, use checkboxes to list the movements
• Each stretching session takes no more than 10 minutes to complete
• I set up the repeat quest for Mondays through Fridays, so that I'm reminded to get up and stretch during work days
• Since setting up the "Stretch time!" repeat quest, I've been stretching almost daily, and my knees are feeling a lot better!

Do you have a new habit you'd like to adopt? Here we lay out the three simple steps to use HeroMode as a Habit Tracker:

1. Create an Adventure for the New Habit
2. Create a Repeat Quest for the Task Associated With the Habit
3. See Your Progress With Metrics and Activity Calendar

We also provide some additional tips to make your habit building journey joyful and successful.

This time of the year, goals and reflections are top of mind for many of us. Setting a goal well, and it can propel you to glory and success. Setting goals ineffectively, and they could become distractions, or worse, unnecessary anxieties.

How to set goals the right way? We look at three lessons on goal setting from behavioral psychology.

We describe how we customized our HeroMode blog with Docusaurus's swizzling functionality. Specifically, we added a blog header to give context to the blog. And we also added subscription buttons so visitors can stay in the loop about new posts automatically.

Many of us have wished to have more willpower. That's because we have this notion that having more willpower will help us accomplish more. However, researches are increasingly pointing to an alternative framework, and challenging our understanding on how willpower works.

HeroMode can help you manage all aspects work and life. With all the use cases, it can be overwhelming how to get started, so we put together this list of tips for your first day on HeroMode.

HeroMode can be used in many different ways. In today's post, I describe how I use HeroMode to break my Reddit habit. These are the steps I took:

• Creating an Adventure called "Bye bye Reddit"
• Within this Adventure, set up a daily repeat quest for "No Reddit today"
• I used to browse Reddit most heavily at night, so I have this repeat quest automatically created at 10pm each day
• Each day, I try to complete the quest of "No Reddit today"
• With Activity Calendar and Streak, I have been able to stay away from Reddit over the last few months!

HeroMode v2.3 is now available in the App Store!

• Brand new navigation icons
• Streak counts are now available!
• Alerts have a new style to prepare us for desktop launch!
• Quests can have zero points!
• ... and many other UI updates.
