To plan and journal meaningfully.


Flux doesn't aim to reinvent the wheel — just digitize a simple and thoughtful process with some bells and whistles.


You can even try it first with a pen and paper!

The Technique

Although it requires more involvement, the Plan & Journal technique offers a stronger mental reinforcement than the traditional To-Do method.
Traditional To-Do

A To-Do task usually has only two outcomes
  • ✓ Done - Mark complete
  • ✗ Not done - Leave as is
Plan & Journal
More investment at the creation of a task
After forever, the weather is finally nice. Will bike for 30-40m.

And, instead of just a checkbox each journal response tells a story for the task
Positive Reinforcement
Got carried away and biked for an hour — love circling around Charles river!
Negative Reinforcement
Felt too lazy and just stayed in. Will try tomorrow :(
Or more!
Biked for almost two hours but ended up queasy — Need to know my limit.
