After months of hardwork 🥹👉🏻👈🏻

Hello everyone I 27(F)
Like I am actually so proud of myself🥺
Last year i had my friends wedding i wanted jewelry which matched the aesthetic of the wedding and dress, couldn’t find it. i got an interesting thought to start something of my own,
my parents weren’t supportive in anyway. 🥺
When i told them they were so discouraging i gave up many times but i kept myself pushing forward after months of overthinking I finally started my own jewelry website with pieces I’d actually wear myself more bold, classy, feminine statement jewelry instead of boring everyday styles.
I spent months worrying about the website, packaging, photos, everything honestly lol.
I dont know anything about marketing im so lost about where to post what to post!! Im overwhelmed i want genuine opinions on the vibe, aesthetic and overall design ✨
All forms of advice is appreciated 🤍

I’ve tried building habits more times than I can count.

Gym, journaling, reading — I’d go strong for a few days, maybe a week… and then just stop.

For a long time I thought it was lack of discipline. But after paying attention, I realized something stupid:

I wasn’t failing the habit — I was failing the logging.

Every time I completed something, I had to:
unlock phone → find the app → open it → tap around → log it

Took ~20–30 seconds.

Doesn’t sound like much, but that tiny friction was enough for me to start skipping… and once I skipped tracking, the habit itself died soon after.

So I tried an experiment:

What if logging a habit took less than 2 seconds? ⚡

Like literally just saying:
“habit done” 🎤

That idea bothered me enough that I spent the last ~3 weeks building a small Android app for myself (just nights after work).

No grand plan — just wanted to remove friction completely.

What I changed:

  • Voice input instead of typing 🎤
  • Everything works offline (no accounts, no sync headaches) 📵
  • One simple screen for everything (tasks + habits together) 📊
  • Basic streaks just to see consistency 🔥

Nothing fancy.

But weirdly… it worked.

For the first time, I didn’t drop off after a week. Logging felt almost invisible, so I kept going without thinking about it.

A couple of friends tried it too and had similar results, which honestly surprised me.

So I put it on the Play Store yesterday just to see if anyone else finds it useful. No monetization or anything — I wouldn’t even know how to market it properly 😅

Google Play Store Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.souravsn.daymint

Right now I’m more curious about this:

Do you think friction (like opening apps, typing, etc.) is what kills habits more than motivation? 🤔

Or is this just a “me problem”?

If you’ve struggled with consistency, I’d love to know what actually breaks the chain for you.

Happy to share the app link if anyone wants to try it — but mostly just here to learn what works / doesn’t 🙏

Ways to cope with procrastination

As a student, procrastination has become a huge problem to me. And it's not just procrastinating on studying. I also freaking procrastinate on doing things I like. Wanna scroll insta? Sure let me just procrastinate by going to yt and waste the day there 1st. Wanna grab a snack from the kitchen? Nah. So eat like one meal per day and any time Ur hungry just drink a cup of milk. Wanna go outside? Nope. Wanna open your curtains let some light in? No I prefer being a bat. Wanna do a hobby or learn something I really like? Sure let me just plan it out in my head, procrastinate through that day dream and do nothing.

There's more but this is basically the crown of it I suppose. And as a psychology student, it's driving me extra crazy because I'm seeing sprinkles of symptoms but it would be crazy to just diagnose myself on that. Way too unreliable and biased

How do you stay mentally grounded after realizing how much influence governments and systems have?

Hey guys, I don’t know if this is the right subreddit to post stuff like this but I really need some advice. Please be kind I’m not too familiar with Reddit. I’m 15 so naturally I’m trying to learn more about how the world works. With the stuff that’s happening in this world today I’ve been really stressed. For example the hantavirus has been really stressing me out so I’ve been doing research. And with this research I see a bunch of stuff about how the government does this or the government does that. And in reading these things I realized how much they actually control us. The food we eat the life we live and if it’s not the government it’s huge corporations. I feel like my soul and sense for living my life the way I want to has been stripped from me. I’ve debated my life to a point and wondering if it’s all worth the trouble. But my real question is people above like 20, how do you deal with this? How do you carry it on your shoulders? Realizing that your life is controlled by the higher ups? I don’t know if this is a real concern or I’m just late to the party and I’m just destined to be another cog in some rich prick’s business. Please help me understand how I live with this on my shoulders. Thanks for listening

I'm starting this journey because my life lacks any structure. My goal is to slowly start building routines in my every-day life so I can fight chronic depression more effectively. Right now I struggle with basic hygiene, my sleep schedule is all over the place, I struggle with taking my meds every day, I procrastinate a lot, and outside of work I don't really do much because I'm always exhausted. I also struggle with phone addiction, my screentime easily goes above 12+ hours on days when I'm not working...

Day 2: Started off great, I couldn't sleep, so instead of continuing to toss and turn, I took a shower for the first time in probably a week, and even washed my teeth for the first time in forever. (don't judge please, I've really been going through it)

  • Showered, even shaved, put on lotion
  • Brushed teeth twice in the morning and evening, used mouthwash in the morning
  • Washed hair, brushed hair multiple times throughout the day to avoid it getting matted (I struggle with this a lot)
  • Vacuumed
  • Did 2 loads of laundry, folded clothes
  • Cleaned cat litter, changed water in cat's water bowl
  • Discovered a "new" (for me) artist I enjoy
  • Went out for the 3rd day in a row (grocery shopping once again, need to find new ways to motivate me to leave the house)
  • Updated my finances in the wallet app
  • Took AM and PM medications, and vitamin D during the day
  • Put phone in lockbox at the end of the day, overall time spent on phone: 6 hours and 15 minutes

Hope I can keep it up on day 3, my biggest goal is to do the dishes that have been piling up for a week today. Have a nice day everyone!
