The Rainbow Journal System is based on three simple and yet powerful principles: -Divide & Conquer -Non-Zero Days -Habit Formation How it works? Very simple! Step 1: Plan Your Goal Levels Let's say your daily goal is to write 400 words. Break it down into six levels: RED - Write next to nothing (less than 100 words) ORANGE - Write at least something (100+ words) YELLOW - Midway through your goal (200+ words) GREEN - Nearly meet your goal (300+ words) BLUE - Meet your goal (400+ words) PURPLE - Exceed your goal (500+ words) Step 2: Track Your Progress When a day is finished, mark the date with the color corresponds to your goal levels. Avoid RED days as much as possible; when you reach the next level, try your best to keep it up!
