Don't Break the Chain is a simple calendar designed with the Jerry Seinfeld motivation technique in mind. As explained on Lifehacker, Seinfeld's productivity secret was to use a giant calendar and mark off each day he completed his writing task; the growing chain of red X's encouraged him to maintain his desired habits. Don't Break the Chain!
