how it runs
- 01 Three tasks, decided once Written in the morning, deliberately small. The version of you that quit last time was making the decision at the wrong hour of the day.
- 02 The report includes the misses Two lines a night, filed whether the day went well or not. A day you missed and reported keeps you inside the hundred days.
- 03 Somebody reads it The group is on the same count. That is the variable that was absent from your last attempt, and it is most of what this programme is.

Past where the last attempt ended. Usually because a bad day got reported instead of ending the count.
A hundred reported days with several imperfect ones inside them, which is what makes it repeatable.

what we can point at
The fortnight drop-off is measured, and the reset rule is a choice
- 31.5M
- Strava analysed more than 31.5 million January activities and located the mass drop-off on the second Friday of January, which it calls Quitters' Day — roughly two weeks in. source
- Day 1
- 75 Hard, the best-known daily-task challenge, requires a restart from day 1 on any miss. We wrote the opposite rule on purpose. source

Reasonable questions
So the streak does not reset when I miss a day?
Correct. You write the miss in the report and continue. The hundred days count the days you reported.
Then what stops me missing every day?
Nothing mechanical. What changes the odds is that the report is read by people counting the same hundred days, and an empty log is visible to them.
Do I have to run daily?
No. You set the day's task, and choosing a rest day is a legitimate task. Running every single day is neither required nor recommended by us.
How is this different from the habit app I stopped using?
An app records a number. Here you write two lines that other people read, and the count survives an imperfect day.
What if I drop out halfway again?
Then you will have a written record of where and why it stopped, which is more than the last attempt left you. You can join a later group.
A count that does not punish a bad day
Leave an email and we will tell you when the next hundred days open.
- No reset to day 1 after a miss
- Reports read by people on the same count
- A hundred days from a fixed start date
We write once, when the next hundred days start.
