Modern life is so complex, supersaturated with all kinds of information, most people have no idea how fast they are progressing, how successful they are, how much they "cost", and what kind of world they built. The problem is, there are no tools - AT ALL - that would help us gather statistical information about our lives, analyze, and display this information in a convenient fashion.MyProgress implements a solution to what we call "life detail clutter". They believe every detail of a human's life can be documented - or rather NEEDS to be documented on a private basis. Certainly, they can not provide for every single bit of information people produce to be tracked, but they managed to try and provide for the most critical and essential areas of our lives - finance, skills, wealth, knowledge, and health - to be secured in a centralized location and available 24/7 online.
