Lucky People

At the University of Hertfordshire in the UK, Professor Richard Wiseman has turned unlucky people into lucky people by putting them through a "lucky school." One key element of his school is having his students record all the lucky things that happen to them.

After a month of keeping track of lucky things that happen to them, 80% of Prof. Wiseman's students report that they experienced an increase in their luck. And two years later, their increased luck was still around.

Momentary is designed to help you keep track of all the wonderful, fun, lucky things that happen to you. Let us know if you notice a difference.
