I may be wrong, but I believe Benjamin Franklin had a system similar to this. Except with "daily habits", it was "virtues". I like the idea, and think it would be even better if you made things simpler for the user. The point of this kind of app would be to get daily input, but the user is their own worst enemy by not entering it every day. So, a nag would make it much better. Also, your use of Twitter Bootstrap is nice, but I saw that on the Sign Up form you had the "@" prepended before e-mail. I think that is meant for when there is a form to enter a twitter handle. See here for what I mean: http://cl.ly/2Z3Q1N112x2a3W0C0K3x http://cl.ly/2Z3Q1N112x2a3W0C0K3x

You are correct. He had a chart with the days of the week (columns) and virtues (rows). He would then note how many faults he had committed each day. He tried to perfect each virtue for some time before adding another, and would perform cycles of this system that lasted several weeks each. He later stopped doing it, claiming lack of time but he still saw much value in performing this task. You may find this in more detail in his book, which is reproduced here (I have pointed for the specific chapter): http://www.benjaminfranklinbiography.net/#IX http://www.benjaminfranklinbiography.net/#IX
