When the temperature outside drops, the days become grey,
and the cold, dark nights draw in it’s easy to feel a little miserable, so we
have a little idea to hopefully brighten up your day!
Studies have shown that anticipating future events is an
important source of happiness. Having something to look forward to, enjoying
the moment, sharing the pleasure with others to heighten the experience and
then reflecting on moments make even the smallest of experiences even
better.
So... brush off the seasonal blues and be inspired by our
countdown inspiration!
Halloween
The first on the calendar and only 1 week and 13 hours to go till the spooky goings on of Halloween. Add events like parties,
fancy dress nights, or simply having fun with your friends carving pumpkins,
making toffee apples and decorating your home. Even if it’s not something you are
excited about, logging it as a countdown is especially handy if you have
children, or work in an industry that positions content around themes like
Halloween such as a school teacher.
Bonfire Night
Never one to miss, it’s a good idea to have your local
Bonfire night event in your app early, and you can even set a reminder for when
you need to buy tickets so you don’t miss out. Looking forward to bonfires and
fireworks is always fun, especially if you are also celebrating with friends
and family – countdown to the fun and revelry of toasted marshmallows, candy
floss, dazzling fireworks and mesmerising bonfires. Only 1 week, 5 days, 13 hours and 10 minutes to go!
Christmas Eve &
Day
Using Countdown Keeper you can countdown to Christmas Eve when
Santa pays a visit for children, Christmas Day itself, or both! There are lots
of Christmas Day countdown apps out there, but we like to think of ours being
much more useful by adding other events that you can look forward to as well!
Plus there is also a ‘notes’ section to each event which during Christmas is
especially handy for keeping a note of gift ideas for friends and family. Other
Christmas events you can keep track of and countdown to are the local Christmas
lights switch on, Boxing Day gatherings or even some Winter sun if you are
planning on getting away from the UK.
New Year’s Eve &
Day
There’s nothing better than starting a new year, especially
if you spent the last night of the previous year in good spirits with friends,
family or just in your happy place. We like to create a countdown to the first
day of the New Year to inspire us to be excited for the year ahead and what it
might bring! 2015 starts in just 9 weeks, 6 days, 13 hours, 8 minutes, 18 seconds and counting!
So there you go! We hope you feel a little happier and more
positive about the months ahead. To download Countdown Keeper from the App
Store just go straight to this link or simply search ‘Countdown Keeper’.
In the free version of the app you can add up to three events, and to upgrade to the PRO version it’s 69p which unlocks the ability to add an unlimited
amount of events, create your very own categories to organise your countdowns,
use images from your Facebook albums and add notes too!
