I've been carrying my Fitbit
with me everywhere pretty much religiously for the past half year or so. I have to say it's a good motivator.This gets me to the "badge" concept.All over the social scene on the internet people compete for badges.Why?Motivation.Today I got a badge on fitbit.com for climbing a total of 8000 flights of steps.It's stupid to be happy about that. It doesn't change anything really. It's not even from a person.An "atta boy" is a nice thing to hear. Even if it's from a computer.

Motivation, however you manage to get it, is a very good thing.
