HabitBind is an application I built to help people like myself reinforce good habits, improve follow-through, and promote intentionality, through the psychological principle of Intentional Binding.

This project was an exercise in designing and developing a user experience which was satisfying and easy to use. The most challenging aspect was educating users on the principle behind the application; making the information available but not intrusive was difficult, but I achieved this through informative tooltips that link to a "learn" page.

IB posits that through a process of intentionally selecting an action, predicting an outcome, and reflecting afterwards, the brain perceives the action and result as occurring closer to one another. In other words, it reinforces that your actions directly lead to outcomes, increasing your sense of agency.
