There's a webapp based on that at http://dontbreakthechain.com/ (not mine!)

I could see that web site being a lot more interesting and compelling if it gave you some sort of visual discovery for each new day. If you break the chain, you have to start back at the first one.

The seinfeld method is amazing. I rarely flossed my teeth but, for some odd reason, really wanted to make it a habit. I used the seinfeld method for 2 months (guess I'm a slow learner) and now I floss every single day no matter what.

Other method for getting into flossing: marry a dentist. Worked for me at least...

I independently developed the same method as Seinfeld's but using Google Calendar. I make an entry of a particular color everyday I've been to the gym. The point here is I don't make future appointments on when to go, but rather make an entry at the end of the day every time I have actually been. The psychological effect of not breaking the chain pushes me to keep going. It really works for me!

As cheesy as his implementation suggestion sounds (Don't break the chain!) I found it actually works quite well.

This tip is awesome.
