Rehabit.me

Rehabit.me is a web application that helps young adults and professionals alike who seek to pursue a new lifestyle habits as well as staying committed to goals through short- term challenges. It is a combination of accountability through self tracking and peer pressure. What’s more is that your skeptical friends can either bet for and against you.

Simply put, Rehabit.me wants to be of assistance with you in beating a habit by means of a gamification approach. It has a more interesting twist though; the same people who are encouraging you will pledge rewards for you should you reach your target. While those who think you may never reach your goal will be able o bet against you. Once you complete the challenge, you and your friends who bet for you will reap the reward by doing so whereas the bets who pledged against you go to charity. Should you fail in your quest, you will never know what the pledges of your encouraging friends were and the skeptics will get to keep their money.

This new Web service encourages you to commit to either forming a new good habit, or breaking a bad one they already have. You try to maintain your new behavior for 21 days and have the feedback of your friends to help you along the way. According to scientific studies, the 21 day- period is the average duration for people to form a habit.

More often than not, people set new goals that are too vague and fail as a result so Rehabit.me helps in this area. By getting goals audited on a daily basis and by uploading a photo or link as evidence of their activity, a progress can be seen gradually. So become Awesome! Let your friends make failing hard and success sweet.
