Streaks by Jill from the North Woods
Streaks Showing Rings for Exercise Hey everyone, this is Jill from the Northwoods. If you listen to me here or on my podcast, you know I love productivity. I love productivity books and applications. I also like habit tracking. A lot of times, when I fail at my habits it tends to be because I […]

I dictate reminders to myself all the time while I’m on my walks. I wear AirPods, so I interrupt my podcast listening by saying, “Hey S-lady” and then “Remind me to …” I used to say “Remind me to… when I get home” but geofencing is not at all reliable, so I pick a time […]

Since I got my first Apple Watch two and a half years ago, one of my primary uses of it has been activity tracking. Those three coloured rings drive me to move during my day for the payoff of seeing them completed before bedtime. I have been managing over 3000 kilojoules a day (about 717 calories) by extending my daily commute and lunchtime walking. Part of the process is seeing the various reminders during the day – time to stand, and the occasional encouragement to get active. Plus the frequent notifications that friends have completed workouts. I’m looking at you, Allison.
Early in December I turned off all activity related notifications and removed the activity ring complication from my watch face. I did not want constant reminders that I could NOT meet my goals.
