Your First Three Decisions for Daily Consistency
You now understand the psychology behind the Seinfeld Method and the practical framework for applying it. You have seen how it can transform vague goals into a clear path forward. But knowledge without action is just trivia. The journey to goal success starts not tomorrow, but right now, with a few clear decisions.
Here is your call to action. Before you close this page, make these three simple decisions to start building your own chain for success.
1. Decide on Your One Goal. Resist the urge to do everything at once. Look at all your aspirations—career, health, learning, relationships—and choose the single most important one for this next season of your life. Which goal, if you made consistent progress on it, would create the most positive momentum? Be ruthless in your focus. Write this one goal down on a piece of paper.
2. Decide on Your Daily Action. Based on that one goal, what is the smallest, most obvious input that will drive progress? Remember the rules: it must be a behavior you control 100%, it should take less than 30 minutes, and it must be a clear “yes” or “no” action. Don’t overthink it. A good starting point is often better than a perfect one you never begin. Write this daily action down right below your goal.
3. Decide on Your Tracking System. The magic is in making your progress visible. Your final decision today is how you will track your chain. Will you use a large wall calendar and a red marker like the original story? A blank journal where you draw a grid? A simple spreadsheet? The tool doesn’t matter, but the ritual does. Choose your tool, and get it ready. Your first task is tomorrow morning: perform your daily action and mark your first X.
That’s all it takes to begin. A clear goal, a simple daily task, and a place to track your progress. The journey to achieving your biggest goals is not a matter of one giant leap, but of thousands of small, consistent steps. By focusing on the chain, you give yourself the structure and motivation to take that step, every single day.
