Yes, that's was a great article. I especially like your note to self.

You land yourself in the circumstances you’re in, and that circumstance is death. With nothing done. Because only when you’re dead do you not have energy and you ran out of time. Find the energy, find the time and land yourself in the circumstances you want to be in — Note to self

That's some deep stuff right there and very true. I've been doing pushups as well, and have my goal at 20 as well.

I've tried a few streak apps that are based loosely on Jerry Sienfeld's productivity hack where he uses a calendar to mark his writing streaks. He said for each day he does his task of writing, he'd put a big red X over that day and talks about streaks as a chain you don't want to break.

"After a few days you'll have a chain. Just keep at it and the chain will grow longer every day. You'll like seeing that chain, especially when you get a few weeks under your belt. Your only job next is to not break the chain."

I've sort of settled on using the Habit Streak Plan app but am checking out Lift now. HSP has a pretty easy to use UI but definitely lacks some of the visualization features it seems like Lift possesses.
