Research shows that regularly checking-in and sharing progress on your goals can dramatically increase the odds that you achieve them. The Team Up app can help you achieve, as it conveniently performs both of these functions when you follow 5 easy steps:

  1. 1) Install the app
  2. 2) Establish your goals
  3. 3) Update your progress
  4. 4) Invite friends
  5. 5) Respond to friendly peer pressure

1) Install the app

  • The Beta version of the app is available right NOW! Click here to install the app. (Don’t let its requests for permission freak you out. You can always uninstall later if you’re not feeling it.) Whew, that was easy! Now you have an interactive visual aid for the next steps.

2) Establish your goals

  • Click “manage goals” inside the app.
  • Click “+ Add goal” to add each goal
  • Fill out the title, description, maximum goal value, and click “add goal.”
  • Note: The maximum goal value is a single number that captures how much goal goodness you seek within a week. You can choose whatever unit you like—miles, people, hours, number of cold-calls, whatever. For example, if you want to visit the gym 4 times in a week, put a 4 here. Describe the units and goal as clearly or cryptically as you prefer in the Goal Description so your friends know what you mean (or DON’T know what you mean ).

3) Update your progress

  • On your main home page, you’ll see a matrix showing your goals as rows and the days of the week as columns—as well as a cool graphical display of your progress.
  • Input a number whenever you progress on one of your weekly goals. For example, if you did 1 workout on Saturday, put a 1 in the box that intersects Saturday and your workout goal. Behold the line graph update automatically. Check-in often to stay on target, rack up points, and get props for your a flawless victory when you attain 100% achievement on all goals.

4) Invite friends

  • On your main home page click “invite people to join your team” to bring some of your other Facebook friends along for the ride. Teammates can quickly see your goals and recent score.
  • Note: If you really want their support, you’ll probably want to contact them in advance, so they know this isn’t the typical lame Facebook application request.

5) Respond to the friendly pressure

  • At the end of each week, the Team Up app automatically posts your score to your wall. Now all your friends will see your performance—and some will comment on it!
  • Respond and ask for your friends’ support in the comments –or just internalize the pain to be sure to avoid it next week!
Note that the Team Up app is currently in its Beta. Let us know if you have additional suggestions as the application is tweaked: info@PeteMockaitis.com.
