Remember that quote by Aristotle, “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” He’s right. Jerry Seinfeld kept a calendar to get him to write new jokes daily -- every day when he’d sit down and write he’d mark a big red X over that day on a yearly calendar hung on his wall. Once those X’s start to chain up, “Your only job is to not break the chain. Don’t break the chain.”
Daily Deeds keeps you accountable to yourself.
Forcing yourself to repeat a good habit every day is the best way to ingrain it into your life. Start a chain, and keep it going. The best iPhone app we’ve found for this task is Daily Deeds ($0.99). Keep it on your home screen, enter a task that you want to achieve daily, and you’ll see a badge on the app’s icon reminding you you’ve yet to do that task on that day. When you do it, open the app and check it off. Boom, done. Click the blue arrow by each task (although we recommend you work on one habit at a time for the best results) to see a calendar view, with big, satisfying checkmarks on every day you’ve done that task. It’s simple. But effective.
