Added “Notes” Feature

NotesFeature1

If you read my guest post at the Bad Habits blog, you’ll remember I mentioned that I’ve been working on letting you attach little post-it like notes to your goals.

Well, it’s ready for you!
Just update from within the software, or download and install from the “Download Free Trial” buttons scattered across the site.

Guest Post at the “My Bad Habits” blog

Psychology professor Ian Newby-Clark studies habits, and blogs about “Scientific Advice for Lasting Habit Change”.

If you haven’t already, check out his blog and subscribe to his feeds. He has interesting takes on habit change, and plenty of working experience to back up his claims.

You can also see a guest post I wrote, excerpted below:

Starting habits isn’t very hard. We all have habits that we started with ease, and keep up with religiously. Of course, I am talking about habits like hitting the snooze button and ducking under the pillow every morning.
However, waking up before dawn when you’re used to 10am or noon, now that takes a lot of willpower.

“Just do it!” you’d have to tell yourself.

That’s what it’s all about, right? Willpower?

I had thought so too…

Update available – 2.0.1.8

Another update is available. All download links now point to the new version. If you have HS already, you can update instantly from within HS (”Help” > “Check for Updates”).

I added the option to start goals on days other than “today”.
I also started adding some small help icons next to parts of the UI that I get questions about.

Pretty straightforward improvements, but every little bit helps.
Enjoy!

Update available – 2.0.1.7

A small update, but worth it if you leave your computer on for a long time, with HabitShaper running in the background/system tray.
Basically, I fixed the bug where it wouldn’t display the correct date if left overnight.

I hope this bug wasn’t causing headaches!

À la prochaine!

Site Back Up

Not entirely sure what the problem was, but it’s fixed now.
I believe it had to do with the compression my site was using to load faster.

In any case, all fixed, and I didn’t have to be late for Christmas dinner :)

Website Down on Christmas Day

Not sure why, but I’ll get it back up and running ASAP.
Even if I have to be late for Christmas Dinner.
