Quote collections for the moments you actually need one, and straight answers about how motivation works: why it vanishes, what brings it back, and what to do on the days it doesn't come.

Dailies is an iPhone app that puts a quote on your Lock Screen and Home Screen and sends others through the day, at moments you don't pick, drawn from narrow topics you choose, such as Just start, On a low day or Turn down the self-doubt. The guides cover setting it up, and the help page covers everything else.
Start today with something good.
Set it up once. Dailies takes it from there.
