On: Jerry Seinfeld’s Productivity Secret

This concept has actually been turned into a pretty decent website.

There's also a very nice Sinatra app specific to open source repos on Github:

Nice. I knew about the technique, but didn't know there was a website dedicated to it. Has anyone made an app dedicated to this?

If you mean a mobile app, there's a Don't Break The Chain[1] iPhone app that I use on/off. It's free with a premium version with no ads at $5.

There's apparently an Android app out there[2] as well.

You may be unclear on the concept! :)

Definitely, it's an area I need to work on significantly ;)

Yep, Unbroken Chain ( http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/unbroken-chain/id415158247?mt... )

I released it in January just thought it would be interesting to see the usage stats, I haven't checked in forever!

Goals Added: 17,642 Chains Added: 247,104

Kind of cool to see actual usage from someone other than me!

# of goals added is pretty obvious, but # of chains added probably bears a little explanation: Every day you do something is a chain - I probably should have called it a link in the stats system.

Not sure, I used the website maybe 3 years ago to quit smoking though.
