Accountability Game

Why?

It will make doing your tasks more fun and help you actually do them.

How?

A website and app that lets you write a goal and a list of tasks (recurring and one time), and invite your friends to hold you accountable. You use this as you would any other task list, with the only difference that they’ll see what happens. To make your friends’ lives easier, the system will message them (email, Facebook, etc.) each day on your progress – what you should have done and did or didn’t. This way they don’t have to do anything proactively, and you know that they know what you did today. They can then – with a simple click – congratulate you on a successful day or send you encouragements for the next day.

Let Your Smartphone Help You Be More Positive

Why?

Using positive words helps your brain develop, while negative words increase your stress hormone (according to some research.)

How?

An app running on your smartphone that listens to you and analyzes the words you use. When your use of negative words goes above a certain threshold you set, the app will alert you.

Help Your Mind Be More Creative

Why?

If you want to solve a problem, being more creative can help.

How?

An app that occupies your mind but only to a certain level, so that your “subconscious” can work “in the background” on solving your problem.

Add Mind Development Gain Measurement to Running Apps

Why?

There is some research that shows running enhances your brain by creating new stem cells.

How?

Just like estimating calories burnt currently present in most running apps, there could be a function that determines based on your activity and personal data, how much your brain has “gained” from the activity.
