StayFocusd. This is an app that works on Google Chrome that allows you to limit the amount of time you spend on “time-wasting websites.” You determine how much time per day you’ll allow yourself to go to those websites, and when the time is up, your access to them is denied.
Goal Streaks—Daily Goals and Habits Tracker. This app, available for the iPad, allows you to set goals and then track how long you can keep it going (that is, create a “streak”). It allows you to set daily goals, but you can also set a goal of doing something several times a week (for example, “eat at home at least 4 nights a week”) and track how long you can keep the streak going. It lends itself to any number of response inhibition goals.
If you want to raise the stakes a little on your impulse control goal, check out www.stickK.com. This website, created by Yale economist Ian Ayres, is built around the notion of “commitment contracts,” which is a variation on correspondence training.
