It rarely ends with a decision to stop
why the last one ended
Past the point the last attempt reached
The stretch where your previous attempt ended. This time the bad day is a line in a report and day fifteen follows it.

Reasonable questions
How is this different from the app I quit?
There is no streak counter to break, and there is a person on the other end of the report. Missed days are logged and the hundred days keep running.
What if I quit this one too?
Then you quit with it written down, which is more than you had last time. You can join a later group.
Do I have to write every day?
You report every day. What you write is your own three tasks, and some days they are very small.
Is there a penalty system?
No fines, no strikes, no removals. The pressure is simply that other people see the log.
How long does the report take?
Two or three lines. Longer if you want, but nobody needs more.
Three tasks in the morning, one report at night
how it runs
- 01 Write three tasks each morning They are allowed to be tiny. A bad day with three tiny tasks is still a day that gets reported.
- 02 Send one report each night Including the nights when the honest answer is nothing. That report is what keeps the count truthful.
- 03 Sit inside a group that reads them A hundred days with other people's logs beside yours. Dropping out becomes something somebody sees.

No novelty left at all. What carries it here is that the report takes a minute and the group is still there.
A hundred days on the record, most of them ordinary, a few of them empty and written down anyway.
