Start tracking

Make the right goals

Effectively manage your expectations

Say know to thy self

When attempting to cut back, it's essential to make smart goals. It's common to underestimate how much you're doing something if you let it be subconcious. Start by trying to identify how much you really do and spend on your habit!

Don't start by trying to quit. Start by waiting longer than normal. Try to wait an hour longer than usual, for example. It is incredibly important to motivation and success that you are able to track your successes. Find ways to incentivize yourself. Even if quitting is your ultimate goal, the small wins are what's going get you there.

Make subconcious successes visible

How can you quantify the absence of something?

Get to know your own behavior

Recognizing the number of times you've thought about doing it, but decided not to is near impossible. Knowing precisely how often you give into a craving is all about giving more weight to resisting action. If you track your successes with an app, you'll be able to see exactly how hard you're already fighting.

You're doing better than you think. Better Later can help you by leaving a physical remainder when you 'resist', so you can begin to tip the scales in your favor.

Keeping your guilty pleasure anonymous

Better Later is available to use without creating an account and operates entirely on your personal device. This means that we do not store any of the data you create with it. Better Later does not even use analytics tools to get information about you.

The data that users create is decentralized by nature, because your device is storing your own version of Better Later.

To add security and anonymity, you do not specify to Better Later what you’re using it to track. Even if somebody acquired your data, they would have no idea what it was about.

Better Later was built this way to make it easier to be honest with yourself.

Better Later is hosted and open source on Github . That means the code which operates the app is publically viewable.
