The post: http://lifehacker.com/software/motivation/jerry-seinfelds-pr...

I tried a paper calendar on my wall for a few days after I read that. Then I decided this was a good chance to do something in python which I've been looking to learn.

Looks like palish is working on something based on the same post: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45374

Thanks for doing this! I actually printed out calendars and have been making X's but this is so much cooler...

Oh snap. You sneaky sneaky. We might just have to launch tonight instead of tomorrow. Well played!

I really like how you've kept it drop-dead simple. Our site offers a little more social-wise, so I'm sure there will be plenty of people who prefer your application. Great design!

Pretty nifty, I must have missed the initial post. Now I have something to motivate me to workout daily. And something to haunt me when I consider marking my alcohol intake (in this case, you don't want to start a chain).

I like the iGoogle widget, this is something I could actually use.

Ah, datablogging. I did something similar back when I was jobhunting, to track how many resumes went out (and how many responses received):

Nice.

Feature request: could you offer more than one chain? Chains that aren't daily (e.g. if you're in sales, it wouldn't make much sense to expect the same quota for Wednesday as for Sunday)?

This is quite nice, i like the look that it has on iGoogle.

P.S does anyone have a link to info on creating widgets for igoogle.
