DontBreaktheChain.com - Seinfeld's Technique for Goals

It’s seven days into the new year—so the question is, how are those resolutions coming along? If you find yourself faltering already, you couldn’t go wrong in checking out Don’tBreakTheChain. This goal setting site will keep you on task so that you don’t break the chain. The concept is based on a technique used by Mr. Jerry Seinfeld himself. Purportedly, he stakes out a goal and marks down each day that that particular goal is accomplished thus creating a chain. Once you’ve got a chain going you won’t want to break it. So, with Don’tBreakTheChain, you do the same. Pick your goal, mark it off on the calendar they provide, and check up on your progress. It’s simple yet it gets the job done.

“This is based upon a motivation technique purportedly used by Jerry Seinfeld.”

Don’tBreaktheChain is incredibly plain, but it is powerful. It’s all about consistency and building up small improvements which eventually accumulate into something larger and grander. It’s a much easier approach than trying to take one big shot once a week. Persistence is key.

Basically, what you get is a calendar. Frankly, I don’t see any merit in this. It would be much easier to use your wall calendar which is in plain view, rather than using your online calendar which you have to access and login into should you feel like it.
