It's not bad for exercise and physio or other things. I haven't tried it for writing...
There is even a "half-done" marker which doesn't give you points but doesn't break the streak (e.g. when you were prevented to do something due to force majeure).
The funniest part of all this is it’s not true that Seinfeld ever said that. 1. Read the footnote in the article 2. Read this Reddit post by Jerry Seinfeld https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1ujvrg/comment/ceitfx... I mean I definitely have increased my own skills over time by being consistent, but this is definitely a fake claim.
> I am burned out. And you may have noticed that I tend to quit things soon after doing them, like TV series, animated movies, book writing, broadway plays. I do feel very strongly in stopping the second I feel like I'm not excited anymore, whatever I'm doing.

Sounds like a U.S. thing too. Worshipping of rich people, who must be rich because they are virtuous (Weber) therefore if you copy their habits you can be virtuous too, become rich and go to paradise. On my way to make 9 babies in order to become the next Elon Musk.
Really? You can’t think of any examples of any other country doing this?

Lol sounds like we are similar people. I also enjoyed reading your massive profile. BTW w.r.t. the OODA-loop I suppose you've made the connection with the chinese five element system? This is a general theory of digestion fwict, for example yoga has five stages of breathing, impro (by keith johnstone) has five stages of overcoming shame (unlocking creativity) etc. There is also the overcoming cycle though, it's not j…
The massive profile is only here to please! I don't know five elements from five animals...wait, actually I know about five animals. Does that count? Five sailors in Captain Ron. Five toes on my right hand. Damn it shows up everywhere! Seriously though I'll have to look into that, got me feeling proper cretinous throwing those casual supposals around!
Your labels are similar to the ones Keith uses in Impro, they have been very insightful on my own journey so I think you've probably helped lots of people with your model, if this hint can help you improve your model then that would be a positive.
One cool five that I've found is the ancient egyptian model of eloquence, may want to look into that.

The chinese five element system is made from the generating and overcoming relations (pentagram, pentagon, resp.) if the labels you put on this structure don't produce a nice "story" when you traverse along either cycle (such as with the five fingers or whatever) then it doesn't fit very well now does it? Your labels are similar to the ones Keith uses in Impro, they have been very insightful on my own journey so I th…
Aha! I know this pattern. I've seen this kind of thinking form into a good fit for affinity groups which metabolize esoterica and sequence-relations really well. People who like to wear newsboy caps also seem to love this stuff for some reason.
Groups which google "pseudoscience {your-model-name}" as soon as something sounds even remotely like it's got a story behind it as opposed to mechanistic research--this is a different setup and IMO there are other patterns that get really good results. One of which is disconnecting from story and even sequence in some ways. Again just IMO.
Thanks for the tip on the the AEMoE as well.
Stop diseasing procrastination. It's not a problem, it's a behavior. It's not just a behavior, it's a tactic. It may be the right tactic for your situation. If procrastination means that I have a deadline and instead of focusing on it with my mind and actions, I focus on something else, then I have procrastinated my way to a good living. I learned when I was a kid that a good way to get myself to read a book is to wa…
glad I finally binged the show during one of my 'springboard' periods :)

Perhaps you don't pay attention. It striked me because I couldn't care less about the lives of billionaires. People laugh at the 9 years old girl who wants to become Madonna but that dream is no more irrealistic and is IMHO less stupid than becoming Elon Musk.
And no, I'm not gonna make 9 babies. If I have a child one day I want to do half of the parenting.

I can't believe James Clear wouldnt fact check this. The "seinfeld" strategy has nothing to do with Jerry Seinfeld, he said it so himself... just some sort of internet myth. Strange to see this is James Clear blog.
My question is what if we have a dozen goals. In real life, you will want to: 1. Consistently exercise 2. Consistently do X for your day job 3. Consistently do Y for your side hustle (typical HN crowd) So you put 3 calendars side by side?
The way I see it, the important part is to stick to the plan. It's really a x for "i sticked to my plan today" and not "I did 10 pushups".
