How fit are your teeth? Are you lazy about brushing them? Never fear: An inventor is on the case. An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush, and it lets you track your performance on your phone.

The Kolibree toothbrush was exhibited at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week. It senses how it is moved and can send the information to an Android phone or iPhone via a Bluetooth wireless connection.

The toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush right (don’t forget the insides of the teeth!) and make sure you’re brushing long enough. “It’s kind of like having a dentist actually watch your brushing on a day-to-day basis,” says Thomas Serval, the French inventor.

The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other applications on your phone, so developers could, for instance, create a game controlled by your toothbrush. You could score points for beating monsters among your teeth. “We try to make it smart but also fun,” Several says.

Serval says he was inspired by his experience as a father. He would come home from work and ask his kids if they had brushed their teeth. They said “yes,” but Serval would find their toothbrush heads dry. He decided he needed a brush that really told him how well his children brushed.

The company says the Kolibree will go on sale this summer, for $99 to $199, developing on features. The U.S. is the first target market.

Serval says that one day, it’ll be possible to replace the brush on the handle with a brushing unit that also has a camera. The camera can even examine holes in your teeth while you brush.

How to Strengthen Your Willpower

Researchers find willpower is like a muscle—it may get tired from over use. So, if it acts like a muscle, can it also be strengthened? The answer is YES. 1.

1. Ten minutes of reflection

Reflection will give you the fater results. 2. Researchers show that after just 2—3 days of practicing thinking for 10 minutes, your brain will be able to focus better, you will have more energy, and you aill be less stressed.

2. Work on your posture

Work on your posture for a 2-week period. Every time you catch yourself slouching(懒散), correct it by sitting up straight. This simple practice can vastly improve your perseverance.

3. Use your opposite hand

Select a chunk(块) of the day to use your opposite hand. 3. And from personal experience, if you aim for more than an hour, you will unnecessarily tire out your willpower muscle.

4. Correct your speech

Change your natural speech. 4. Again, it takes willpower to consciously go against your instincts. It doesn’t matter how you correct your speech, as long as you change natural speech habits.

To get started, select a chunk of the day to practice and choose the words you will change. Personally, I tried not using contractions during work hours and it worked very well.

Above are some effective ways to strengthen your perseverance. Do not try to do all at once. 5. You should start small and gradually build up as your muscles get stronger.

A. Training your willpower muscle is like training for a marathon.

B. This even includes resisting the urge to say “hello” instead of “hey”.

C. You will be more mentally strong.

D. With the right practice willpower can be strengthened.

E. It can make your brain focus and resist the urge to wander.

F. Be more conscious of your automic decisions.

G. It doesn’t need to be more than an hour in order to get results.
