by Let’s face it, we could all use a little help realizing our myriad goals in life. Whether it’s as simple as organizing your closet or something a bit more ambitious, it can be hard to muster the motivation to get things done. Everest aims to make those seemingly insurmountable mountains easy to scale. With a network of frustrated overachievers broadcasting their own triumphs, Everest encourages you to tackle your dreams in bite-sized chunks, as it tracks every step of your journey and pushes you to stay on track.
Once you set up an account, you can either accept one of the predetermined challenges (ranging from “hike in a national park” to “lose 10 pounds”) or start your own dream. It’s simple enough to set a goal – simply click the yellow “plus” button to bring up the options menu, and then pick a category and completion date – but don’t expect Everest to give you any ideas on how to get started. Once your dream clock starts running, you’re pretty much on your own.
As you progress toward your goal, Everest encourages you to break your mountain into manageable molehills, recording notes and pictures as you proceed. Each completed step gets posted in an infinite timeline, and even without any feedback, Everest’s polished interface and charming icons will certainly keep you engaged. Every step you take in your journey is charted for the entire Everest community to see (unless you choose to keep your dreams private), but you’ll have to turn to your Facebook friends for any actual inspiration. There isn’t much in the way of interaction between members – no one took an interest my dream or responded to my comments on theirs – and since you can’t search through posts, it’s difficult to find anyone with similar aspirations.
The bottom line. Everest wants to keep your dreams within reach, but without a strong network, you’ll still have a hard time climbing the mountain.
