Arduino Automation on myself: Sticking to a habit using technology (Great project for beginners)

Parts, 3D files and code: https://noisycarlos.com/project/creating-a-gadget-to-make-my-habits-stick/

If you're anything like me, there are several things you want to do consistently that you always forget. From exercising, to cleaning, I'm always forgetting.

In a similar idea to Simone Giertz's Every Day Calendar, I made a device based on an Arduino nano, and it has really helped me stick to those habits that I used to forget.

As I was working on this, I realized, that this is probably the simplest and easiest to do project that is still useful (my bare-essentials version was just adding a single line of code to the blink sample that comes with the Arduino IDE).

Books about habits:
-Atomic Habits by James Clear (probably the most actionable of the bunch)
-Switch by Chip and Dan Heath (a great read about what makes people change or stick to certain behaviors, not as actionable, but really interesting)
-The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg (a lot of theory about how habits work and some actionable content. It is interesting, but I would start with Atomic Habits before moving to this one)
-The Now Habit by Neil Flore (it's interesting, but my least favorite among these. It's strategies to overcome procrastination, but again, I'd start with Atomic Habits and Switch).

If you're anything like me, there are several things you want to do consistently that you always forget. From exercising, to cleaning, I'm always forgetting.

So I made a device based on an Arduino nano, and it has really helped me stick to those habits that I used to forget.
