What it is
Some things need more than a minute: a run, a foreign language, reading. With a habit counted per week, it’s not about which day, but whether I managed it as many times a week as I wanted.
In the Plan tab, on the Week card, I write my priorities for the week. On Sunday I look back briefly and prepare the next one.
Why it works
Only what the sources really say. The effects are often small, but real.
Write it down, don’t just know it
The effect was bigger when people actually recorded their progress or reported it.
Start today

Where it comes from
Inspired by Tomáš Baťa. Twenty minutes three times a week is the middle of the three habit sizes in Baťa’s approach: a minute a day, twenty minutes a few times a week and an hour once a month.
