Do you have an online life coach? Self-help has now been automated on a new website that tracks users’ habits and resolutions.

  • When signing up, individuals write what they’ve resolved to accomplish (i.e.: jog daily);
  • They receive a daily email reminder asking them whether they’ve accomplished their resolution;
  • Those worried about slipping up can add a reminder of why they’re doing it.
