  Abstract

Many people today suffer from the negative effects of procrastination and poor time management which includes lower productivity, missing opportunities, lower self-esteem and increased levels of guilt, stress, frustration, and anxiety. Although people can often recognize their tendency to procrastinate and the need to change this bad habit, the majority of them still do not take meaningful actions to prevent themselves from procrastinating. To help people fix this problem, we created a goal tracking mobile application called iProgress that aims to assist and motivate people to better manage their time by allowing them to create short-term and long-term goals that they want to achieve, and encouraging them to complete those goals through a rank/reward system that provides them with the opportunity to compete with other users by completing more goals.
