Chains.cc – Get Going With Good Habits

ss-chains
Everyone could use a little push to stick to their good habits and avoid falling into the bad ones. Chains.cc is a web-based platform that serves as a source of motivation and encouragement for people working toward all types of positive goals.

When it comes to Chains.cc, the ultimate goal for every user is to make his or her “chain” as long as possible. To do that, you’ll need to start adopting some healthy habits. Sign up for a Chains.cc account and create your first chain. “Exercise” and “Eat Healthy” are two examples of popular chains created by other users. After creating your own chains, you’ll want to start accumulating links by clicking on the “holes” next to each date. You can customize your chains by setting certain days as “skipped.” For example, you may decide to only exercise on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Every other day would be marked as skipped, but your chain would remain unbroken — as long as you keep exercising on your assigned days.

When you use Chains.cc to keep up healthy habits, you’re never working alone. Users can add their chains to related groups. For example, a “Weightlifting” chain would be right at home alongside the other chains in an “Exercise” group. Posting your chain alongside others in a group serves as a source of inspiration and motivation, which are both key factors in anyone’s ability to stay on track toward improving their healthy habits.

Practical Uses:

  • Start working on improving your diet
