Jerry Seinfeld wanted to write better jokes. His system?
A wall calendar and a red marker.
Write jokes = Mark an X.
See the chain of Xs grow.
Don't break the chain.
That's it.
No apps. No trackers. No complicated workflows.
Just visible progress and a simple rule.
Here's what most people get wrong about consistency: They think motivation creates habits. Wrong.
Habits create motivation.
That chain of Xs? It becomes your identity.
"I'm someone who doesn't break the chain."
After 10 days, you protect it.
After 30 days, you defend it.
After 100 days, it defines you.
The best system isn't the perfect one.
It's the one you'll actually use.
What chain are you starting today?
Don't break it,
Jeff
