Evolution of a Reminder
Before I built this app, the morning reminder was an MS Outlook activity that popped open a one-page MS Word file with a lot of self-talk. When I first got this app working, the morning reminder simply told me to look forward in my day, anticipate things that may trigger distorted thoughts, and then review my experiences for relevant distortions in an attempt to pre-load my mitigations. As I added more features to the app, and as I used the app more, I added additional things to the morning reminder such as looking at the Daily Goals. Simplifying the reminders might be a good thing to do if you're not sure where to start. What's the minimum you think you need to do?
