Similar to the Jerry Seinfeld "Don't break the chain" advice - http://lifehacker.com/281626/jerry-seinfelds-productivity-se...

EDIT: Wait, what? He never said this at all? https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1ujvrg/jerry_seinfeld...

There even is a web app based on it http://dontbreakthechain.com/ which I try to improve right now with https://markmyday.net

The latter doesn't require an account, lets you log some additional data and is of course absolute beta. I really didn't plan to publish it yet, but I haven't done anything else to reach my goal today.

Quick update:

The comment above brought me my first 36 potential test users.

Please drop me a line with suggestions, questions or feature requests! https://markmyday.net/imprint.html

Also, in case you see some promise in the app, be sure to bookmark it or add it to your homescreen (adjust the title first). Thanks!

I could swear I read somewhere that Seinfeld later said he never actually did this.

Yep, he said in a Reddit AMA that he never actually did this:

That's not what the comment says. He's pointing out that it's a simple idea which he did not originate.

[dceddia]

Yeah good point, upon rereading that comment he's just saying he didn't invent it, not that he's never used it. But he calls it "the dumbest non-idea", which would suggest he doesn't think very highly of it...

[nonzeroday]

It is very similar to Jerry's advice.
