iPod Touch: The Pocket Computer for Motivation

The iPod Touch as the Motivator in My Pocket

The iPod touch is more than just an mp3 player, it is literally a pocket-sized computer. iPod touch applications are constantly being developed to expand the possible uses of the device. One of the functions my iPod touch serves is being my pocket personal motivator.

Photos - Native iPod App

I use the photos application and slide show as my portable vision board. The purpose of the vision board is to have a visual aid for holding my intentions to be or have something. I collect and create images in a folder I've named "vision board" on my computer and sync it to my iPod touch with iTunes. I play the images in the slideshow to keep the vision fresh in my mind.

Goalkeep - $3.99 from App Store

Goalkeep is a simple application that keeps track of what I am doing each day to acheive my goals. With Goalkeep I create a list of goals and for each goal there is a calendar. I check off every day that I work toward my goal and write a comment about what I did. The Goalkeep app motivates with a congratulatory screen that tells me the number of days streak I am on when I check off a day. I like that I can go back to any of my checked days and my note for the day is displayed.

Note: I generally do not pay for iPod applications but the Goalkeep app is a worthy exception.

DoBot ToDos - Free from App Store

Once I write down my to-dos I am much more likely to get them done. This simple and free application is an almost perfect to-do list. With it I can categorize different lists and set due dates. The only features I would like to see in this app would be access to the iPod dictionary for auto-correction and the ability to nest tasks within tasks.

There are more than a few free to-do apps available from the app store. I like DoBot ToDos because others that I tried turned out to be overly complicated.

Music - Native iPod App

I have motivational mp3s stored on my iPod for when I need to get my mind in order. Some of my mp3s are meditations and some are lessons that remind me that I am in control over my future success. With my iPod in my pocket, I am never far from a positive message.
Having an iPod touch with the applications I have listed puts positive media and a road map to achieving my goals at my fingertips. It is the motivator in my pocket.
