Tinytask is an advent calendar designed to help you take steps towards greater happiness or vitality. Each time you open a compartment, you receive a new task. The tasks are fun, challenging, and easy to do in between other activities. Scientific research has proven that Tinytask really works!
Almost everyone would like to be happier or healthier – but how do you achieve that? Psychologists have shown that it's not so much about what you have, but more about what you do (your activities) and how you approach life (your mentality). Moreover, it's not effective to set yourself large goals; instead, it's better to focus on small steps that fit well into your daily life.
That's exactly what Tinytask is all about. Tinytask is a program with thirty tasks that are playful and surprising, but also very easy to do in between other activities. We have two calendars: Happiness and Vitality. Both are based on scientific research and have been extensively tested.
Tinytask is a calendar that you hang in a visible place: at home, at work, or anywhere else. When you feel like doing a new task, you open a compartment, behind which you find a colored coin. You can hang this coin on your keychain or place it somewhere visible. This serves as a reminder for the task you're going to do. The calendar is beautifully illustrated by Levi Jacobs and immediately motivates you to get started.
