Don't Break The Chain

Completed your goal for the day? Add a big red “X” onto a daily calendar. That’s how to do the “don’t break the chain” method, it’s as simple as that. After a few days you’ll have built up a chain of “X”s on your calendar which will make you more likely to continue with your daily habit because:

• You won’t want to break the chain and ruin your streak
• It’s a visual record of your progress which will keep you encouraged
• You get the satisfaction of adding a new “X” as a reward each day

Note: This technique was allegedly invented by comedian Jerry Seinfield but during a Reddit IMA he says he had no part in it.
