It is very similar to Jerry's advice.

There even is a web app based on it http://dontbreakthechain.com/ http://dontbreakthechain.com/ which I try to improve right now with https://markmyday.net https://markmyday.net The latter doesn't require an account, lets you log some additional data and is of course absolute beta. I really didn't plan to publish it yet, but I haven't done anything else to reach my goal today.

  Quick update: The comment above brought me my first 36 potential test users. Please drop me a line with suggestions, questions or feature requests! https://markmyday.net/imprint.html https://markmyday.net/imprint.html Also, in case you see some promise in the app, be sure to bookmark it or add it to your homescreen (adjust the title first). Thanks!

I could swear I read somewhere that Seinfeld later said he never actually did this.

  Yep, he said in a Reddit AMA that he never actually did this: https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1ujvrg/jerry_seinfeld_here_i_will_give_you_an_answer/ceiugt5 https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1ujvrg/jerry_seinfeld...

    That's not what the comment says. He's pointing out that it's a simple idea which he did not originate.
    - dceddia 11y ago
      Yeah good point, upon rereading that comment he's just saying he didn't invent it, not that he's never used it. But he calls it "the dumbest non-idea", which would suggest he doesn't think very highly of it...
