The beginning of the year is the best time to set a new and better direction for one’s life. Everybody is full of good intentions and motivation. It’s important to capitalize on all this positive energy by setting SMART goals. If you want to know why it’s a good idea, instead of just being content with the usual “good resolutions”, this quick read is very interesting: why everybody should set goals.
Just like everybody, I have some great goals for this year, and following the SMART system, I decided I needed to plan them all out, with their end goal and the intermediate milestones. So I figured, what better way to keep track of these goals and milestones that by making an app that would help me do just that? A streamlined app, solely dedicated to S.M.A.R.T goal and milestone setting and tracking.
Meet Be Better
With Be Better, you will be able to:
- Set Goals for yourself
The app comes with default goals, among the most common ones. Of course, you can also create your own custom goals. The app will prompt you, to make sure they are S.M.A.R.T. - Divide your Goals into milestones, to keep you motivated along the way (and isn't that the hardest part?)
The default goals come with pre-configured milestones. Of course, you can always modify them, but they are a good starting point. - Set Reminders to never miss a milestone!
Make sure to never forget your upcoming milestones by warning yourself ahead of time. - Share your Accomplishments
Increase tenfold the warm and fuzzy feeling you're sure to get when you finally accomplish your goal, by making sure all your friends and family know about it too!
Be Better is still a work in progress, but should be released during the first trimester of 2020, to make sure you and I can start our year right, with our S.M.A.R.T goals all set and ready!

If you have any comments or if there is a functionality you very much would like to see in the app, please let me know! I would like to make this app as useful as possible to as many people as possible 🙂
