Have your best year yet: Set goals and stick to them with Mindbloom

I love little tech gadgets and games so here’s one that is perfect for starting the new year and for me, the new semester.

This new application is called Mindbloom

This app works for personal growth in three way:

• Decide what’s important
• Discover your motivation
• Take meaningful action

When you first start you can choose which aspects of life you want to focus on. For example there is: My health, my relationships, my finances, my creativity, my career, my lifestyle, and my spirituality

The tree grows with help from the sun and the rain. The sun is your inspiration and motivation - the why. The rain is the actions you do towards your goals - the how. The healthy tree produces seeds that you can use to buy bonus features etc..

The idea is that seeing your inspiration every day, your mind will work with you to work to  achieve your goal. This is a common tool used by personal development coaches.

It also allows for journaling about achieved goals that you can share with friends on facebook and on mindbloom.

Here is a video if you want to learn more:

It seems a little far fetched to me to “grow your tree of life”, but it really does have a lot of good values and with an iPhone app and link to social media, it is trendy, easy to use, and has been rated as one of the top five goal tracking services.

The most important parts that I found in my research are:

• Goal Setting
• Focus on a few things, now. As we learned in the post about willpower - we have a limited amount of willpower and it is important to pick what is really important so as not to overwhelm yourself or deplete the willpower
• Use a social network for support and motivation
