Don't Break The Chain! vs Mark Off: Visual Calendar Usage & Stats
Have you ever heard of the “Don’t Break The Chain” (DBTC) motivation technique
used by the famous American stand-up comedian and director Jerry Seinfeld? The
idea behind this motivation technique is so simple and easy to achieve: Define a
goal and try to constantly do actions towards your goal. So, no matter you are
going to learn a new language, learn how to play Guitar, break a bad habit, write a
new book, or any other activities, the “Don’t Break The Chain” enables you to be
on the right track and forces you to keep doing whatever it takes to reach your
goal.
Interested in the idea and want to know how DBTC works? Well, download the
application for free on your iOS device, add your goals and start tracking your
activities on a daily basis.
What to expect from the Don’t Break The Chain?
DBTC, the motivation app to track your commitment to your goals and
resolutions, comes with a clean and neat design and the interface is so user-
friendly that you’ll get the whole idea after writing down your first goal and
marking the first X on the calendar.
What is X?
Well, you have access to a large year-at-a-glance calendar and at the
first day of your motivation program, you get to mark that day with a red X, if you
manage to do the committed task toward your goal. In other words, did you do
the task you were supposed to do? If so, mark that day with an X, otherwise, you
have broken the chain and you prove your self your not motivated enough.
And the chain starts. Congratulations on starting your chain. You have to keep
doing the tasks every day and mark the calendar with an X to make sure you
never break the chain and you are getting closer to your goal day by day. After a
while, you’ll develop a good habit of doing worthy actions and you’ll see how
motivated you are.
Don’t forget that your chain of red Xs cannot be stopped unless you reach the
pre-defined goal, and you cannot mark a day with an X unless you’ve done what
you were supposed to do.

* Clean and neat design with fresh and intuitive interface
