Grit Method vs Prismark

When my kids were young, I started writing down the values I wanted to instill in them. Halfway through, something obvious hit me: they were going to learn those values best by seeing them in me. So I stopped writing about who I wanted them to be, and started writing about what I had to do. The answer was four daily intentions: 1. Do hard things — because grit is a practice, not a personality trait. 2. Avoid traps — because what you say no to shapes you as much as what you say yes to. 3. Be grateful — because what we choose to focus on becomes how we feel. 4. Help others — because grit spent on the people around you compounds. I came up with this six years ago. It didn’t become a daily practice until I built this app. That gap, between knowing what to do and actually doing it, is where most habit advice falls apart. Specificity is what closes it. “Lose weight” is not a commitment. “Walk after lunch” is something you either did, or didn’t, before your head hits the pillow. You check them off through the day, in the app or on a home screen widget. Over time, the streak grid shows you what you actually did, color-coded by category. There’s no penalty for missing a day. Just an honest record of the days you followed through, and the days you didn’t. You don’t change by writing down what kind of person you want to be. You change by doing four small things today, and then again tomorrow. Grit Method works on iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo.
