Quitting Is An Art Form

Seen on the Internet in a popular location and it matches my thoughts today

Our culture sees quitting as a failure, when in fact it’s an art form — it’s what stands between us and futility, drudgery, recurring arguments and getting arrested for harassment. Please pour yourself something toasty and write your To-Quit List, topped by, “Quit seeing others’ expectations as your responsibility.” Holidays are done by you, not to you. Merry no-mas.

Our mobile phones are powerful – crazy powerful. We’re approaching a point now where our Android or iPhone is essential to our everyday lives, and attached to us almost every minute of every day.

But, we also want more control. Technology is a great way for us to analyse and optimise our lives, and with our phones by our sides, there are endless opportunities to know where we spend our time, what we’re doing, and who we’re doing it with.

App developers have known this for years, and there are now scores of apps out there ready and waiting to track everything in our lives – from the mundane to the slightly scary.

vouchercloud have compiled the top 50 apps to track EVERYTHING in your life, and there are some crackers. Take a look at the infographic below, and see if we can persuade you to track your sleeping habits, your social circle, and your everyday life.
