According to legend Jerry Seinfeld believed that the best way to become a better comic was to write better jokes and the only way to write better jokes was to write every day. To help him with this, he had a system he used to pressure himself to write. He bought a large calendar and a marker. For each day where he completed his task he would mark the day off on the calendar. After a few days he had a chain. A chain he did not want to break. The Don't Break the Chain method works because consistent daily action builds extraordinary outcomes, bit by bit, day after day. It’s a simple but really effective way of building habits and achieving goals. The Chain is a simple App that gives you everything you need to begin working the method and removes the need to buy a calendar and a marker. - Up to 4 chains - Daily reminders for each chain - Task timers - A satisfying click when a task is done!
