Abstract: Systems and methods may be provided for changing an action of a user using electronic input. The systems and methods may send a first text message to request the user to set a specific short-term target for a day based on the long-term target and ascribed value. The systems and methods may later send a second text message to request the user to adjust the specific short-term target for the day, wherein the user may adjust the specific short-term target based on evaluating his/her current progress toward the short-term target. The systems and methods may then send a third text message to inquire whether the adjusted short-term target for the day is met by the user, wherein the user may send a reply text message to confirm or deny the short-term being met. The systems and methods may send a response to the reply message, and may record the reply to display the user's progress in visual representation.
