The Rainbow Journal System is based on three simple and yet powerful principles:
-Divide & Conquer
-Non-Zero Days
-Habit Formation
How it works? Very simple!
Step 1: Plan Your Goal Levels
Lets say your daily goal is to write 400 words. Break it down into six levels:
RED - Write next to nothing (less than 100 words)
ORANGE - Write at least something (100+ words)
YELLOW - Midway through your goal (200+ words)
GREEN - Nearly meet your goal (300+ words)
BLUE - Meet your goal (400+ words)
PURPLE - Exceed your goal (500+ words)
Step 2: Track Your Progress
When a day is finished, mark the date with the color corresponds to your goal levels.
Avoid RED days as much as possible; when you reach the next level, try your best to keep it up!
