The cause and effect one is kind of interesting to me, it's almost like having a life coach/accountant that gives it to you straight and keeps you on track. For example, what if it knew you got a penalty fee for being late on paying your phone bill and it knew you bought a six pack of beer last week which caused you to not have enough money? Maybe it can berate you and let you know that the six pack of beer > no money in your account > late payment > late fee > in debt and broke? Can an app be heartless? This one has potential.

The app to help you understand "cause and effect in your life." https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/zenta-stress-emotion-management-on-your-wrist#/ https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/zenta-stress-emotion-mana... It seems geared toward helping users become more aware of the impact their habits have on their well-being & emotions. The description in the article makes it easy to dismiss, but speaking from the standpoint of someone who's been emotionally disconnected for 20 years through information addiction (yep...it's a thing, complete with withdrawal symptoms) until earlier this year, there's a huge market. I'm only just starting to learn how to recognize my emotions in the moment. Anxiety was so pervasive, it was my norm. Now, my struggle is to identify when I'm getting anxious because it's a vital signal from my body telling me there's a need of mine that I'm overlooking (another thing I'm just starting to learn). It's why I'm considering getting a Microsoft Band 2 to help monitor my heart rate & sleeping habits.
