This is great. I discovered it just over a month ago, and I’m using it to teach myself to wash up every day. I make it interesting for myself by drawing a little picture in each box instead of just ticking them one by one.

But I’m finding the A4 size way too big. You can fit 4 of these on one A4 size sheet of paper. Maybe you could make a new pdf for us to download? (As I couldn’t work out how to print 4 copies on a single sheet…)

I was just off to the local cafe to plan my next 4 weeks of work and was looking for a printable calendar so I didn’t have to take my bulky wall calendar with me.

Perfect. Thanks.

Very nice idea. The only disadvantage that I immediately thought of is that you can easily ‘cheat’. You can skip a day and still continue the next, which I don’t think is the idea. If you’ve got a calendar with dates there would be a gap staring at you for the day you didn’t do your task.

This also reminds me of Jerry Seinfeld’s ‘chain of X’s’ concept that he uses for productivity:

I like this idea. I printed out a dozen copies and the first one is marked “Bass Practice.” And just to make sure I remember, I slipped the page between the bass strings so I’ll see it and be reminded each day.

I love the friendly, not threatening rounded boxes. Just makes me want to fill them in. I even printed it on bright yellow paper. Achievement and completion here I come. Thanks!

Would be a handy iphone app!

Wow… that’s a great idea. I like the fact that it has you focus on one thing for a short amount of time to knock it out. There’s been studies that show the more things you are doing in parallel the less efficient and/or effective you are. With this concept you can focus on your 30 day assignment knock it out quickly, put it on life support, and then move on to the next project.

Andrew-
I love this idea. So simple, but so powerful. And, so many ways it could be interpreted. Brilliant!

Staying non-committal…….but this one touches me in some of the right places. :)
